County considers new bridge to replace Bali'
Ball's Bridge in Culborne Township
could be replaced with a new bridge two
kilometres downstream on the Maitland
River connecting the county. road running
through Benrnlller with Londesboro.
County engineer Bob Dempsey told the
monthly meeting of minty council Friday
that the most favorable alternative to
replacing Ball's Bridge was to construct a
new bridge to line up with the county road
out of Benmiiler• He estimated it would
cost $1.8 million in 1986 dollars to construct
a new bridge exclusive of land costs.
The ethgineer said five alternatives were
being considered in relocating OE
reconstructing the bridge. The first option
was to construct a new bridge at a cost 1st of
$1:8 trillion 2 km. downstream from its
present location; (2) to rplace the bridge
in its txtstinrt h►cation, tit's rust of $1.2
million; (3)reroute the bridge 1000 metres'
downstream or 44) rebuild the bridge in
the proximity of the existing structure.
"`Che bridge was built a centum ago o and
there are not many of its kind left h* On-
tario so it has sonic possible heritage
value," Dempsey explained adding that he
thought Mooting the bridge downstream
to connect Butunlller and l Ahdosbur�►
would be the !nest attractive route. `
Some farmers have to travel 18 ken. to
et across the Maitland River to
Londesboro for feed or su plies. "It would
create a better traffic pattern and provide
better service to the residents but it also
depends on landowners selling land to
create a new road," Dempsey -said.
He also told council that an unvlrunlnun-
tai impact hearing would be required when
the Environmental Assessment Act
becomes law later• tide. your. "When 1t
comes to lzrw then that's when it affect*
the tnutticlpalht�`so it's good to get gull%un
It 40 11 will have less ('list impact."

study on the project and a representative
of the firm, Dempsey t$id affected lan-
downers will hold a private meeting "to
discuss the matter.
The engineer was asked to request a
study of the Ministry of Transportation
and Conununicatfun and the Ministry of
Citizenship and (culture to determine the
• heritage value of the bridge, He was also.
UAW to obtain legal advice with respect to
the proper process for (dosing a boundary

In the meantime, load limits will be plat•

Police spot checks nab fewer, impaired
Only one ofmorethan 160 drivers Stop-
ped by police spot checks in Goderich over
the holiday season had his licence tem-
.porarily suspended for driving while under
the influence of alcohol.
According to police chief Pat King,
there was a very considerable drop in the
number of drivers charged with liquor
related offences during the holidayseason
and the Goderich Police Force din't even
have one liquor seizure during the month
of December. -
Chief King said the publicity regarding
stiffer penalities for drinking and driving
and the media campaign emphasizing the
moral aspect that drinking and driving
kills has had an effect. Over the last two
months, Chief King, said he has known' of •
many who would normally drink and drivel
who now take a taxi, walk or use a
designated driver. .
New federal aundrovincial legislation
calls for an automatic one year driver's
licence suspension (up from three inonths )
and a minimum fine of $300 for an im-
paired driver convicted for the first tine
The penalties get tougher for subsequent
Convictions.
Chief King said people are finding alter-
natives to .drinking and driving. Party
goers on New. Years Eve took buses and
taxis, walked or used a designated driver.
If ,someone is charged, they can't cry the
blues that there are no alternatives to
drinking and driving, said King.
People are still drinking, the chief says,
but they've got the message, drinking and
driving don't mix.
Goderich detachment of the Ontario Pro-
vincial Police checked more vehicles and
found fewer alcohol related driving
(hordes over the holiday season this year,
according to Corporal J. C. Vessey. While
the weather conditions were poor over_the
Christmas and New Year holiday and
there were not as many peuple on the
roads, the increased spot checks and stif=

If Goderich council alters runway Hl -28
at the municipal airport to a precision hr-
strumont runway with a 1-50 slope, the
transmission line proposed. by Ontario
Hydro would interfere with it, 'Transport
Canada said in a letter to council..
The letter will be added to the inform -
tion to be presented April 18 at a hearing in
Clinton concerning the proposed
transmission route by Ontario Hydro
which would locate hydro towers one mile
from the end of the runway.
At the December meeting of the airport
sub -committee to "deal with the
transmission lines, John Hopkinsta) of
Business Air Services said his clients will
,not -use the airport if the hydro lines'ipre
constructed. Therefore, the lines will af-
fect both the airport and the econotny of
Goderich, he said.
He told Ontario Hydro representative
Glen Hoglund that his company would be
looking for compensation that would
make the $13 million extra cost for t he
Seaforth route look cheap."
