Council still doesn't want to see Highway 83 downgraded EXETER - Troubled that the Ministry of Transportation still ap- pears interested in turning three provincial highways over to Huron County, town council were consid- ering what approach to recommend to county council. Deputy reeve Lossy Fuller asked council for direction on the issue since it now appears the ministry wants to open discussion with the county about highways 83, 84, and 87. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom was first to object to the discussion and said he could remember when Highway 97 east of Hickson was a highway and has since become a county road in much diminished status. "The minute you start to talk to them 'well we'll take this or that' then you're in a situtatnon of no re- turn," said Hoogenboom. Works superintendent Glen Kells said some Exeter businesses could be affected by the change of High- way 83 to a county road. North - lander, for instance, he •said, re- quires permits for extra wide loads - permits which are not allowed for county row;::. "1 think when you look at the dif- ference in highway maintenar)cc and county maintenance all you've got to look at is Highway 83 in winter, follow it into Perth County and find snowdrifts across the road," said Kells. Reeve Bill Mickle voiced con- cerns about the cost of the county maintaining the highways. "You not only deal with roads. you also have to deal with bridges, which arc very, very expensive.' said Micklc Clerk Liz Bell voiced some pug zlement as to why the ministry is trying to downgrade the highways to county roads while also negotiat- ing with Exeter to create a connect- ing link agreement with the Thames Road portion of the high- way, as Main Street is a connecting link for Highway 4. "I don't know how they can be talking to the county about 83 and talking to the town about a connect- ing link agreement," said Bell. Mickle pointed out that if High- way 83 became a county road after the connecting link was estab- lished, the problem would then be that there is no such thing as a con- necting Link for county roads. "We've got a few things to iron out with our dealings with the prov- ince on 83," said Mickle. Mickle said he agreed with Hoo- genbo orn's opinion on the issue of opposing the downgrading of the highway, Fuller disagreed with Hoogenbuu a's suggestions that no discussions should be started. "They think they (the county] should talk about this before it is dumped on us," said Fuller. "And their think it will be dumped on us."
