The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-07-15, Page 3• t • • Work has begun on the new road which will allow transport trucks coming down the West Street hill and using the grain elevators, to exit up the North Harbor Road. After some drain work is completed and the rail tracks are lifted, the lC:l stretch of grass shown above will be paved and railway tracks replaced. Company President George Parsons said the project, which is to cost about $35,000, should be finished by the end of August. (Jason Ainslie photo) Roadway over tracks to be paved BY JASON AINSLIE Goderich homeowners who live along the truck route on Elgin Avenue and Wellington Street should notice a decrease in truck traffic after the end of August. Goderich Elevators President George Parsons said after about seven years of negotiating with Canadian National Railways, the Goderich company has won permission to pave a roadway over CNR tracks at the back of the elevators. "When I started' with the company, often 100 rail cars would be loaded behind the elevators each day," Mr. Parsons said. "But now, we might see one car per month; so CNR agreed" to the change. For town residents along the truck route, the im- provements will mean that about 80 per cent of trucks going down, the West St. hill to load steamship - delivered grain will go up the north harbor road. Trucks bringing Ontario grain to the harbor, however, will continue to exit via the West Street road. And for Goderich Elevators, the new road will pro- vide a continuous flow of traffic and eliminate the heavy congestion that has plagued this harbor in- dustry for years. Mr. Parsons said the streamlined system will increase production as two or three trucks will be able to load grain at once_ . , The paved surface will have rail track embedded in the asphalt in case rail transport can be used in the future.. Work 'has already begun on the project, which should be completed by September. Its cost is about $35,000, and since the town has nothing to do with that land, the cost will, be borne by Goderich Elevator and . ° Transit Company.
