Huron County Connell has agreed to add its
support to a brief which a committee of
mayors from Huron's five towns hopes will
persuade the Ontario Ministry of••Transporta-
tion and Communications to improve• and
develop Highway 8 from Kitchener , to
Goderich
,
The request for support Was, one of three
items'included in a presentation made by the
cpmmittee of mayors in an appearance before
council at its February meeting, in Goderith.
Goderich Mayor Eileen Palmer told council
the Highway 8 traffic corridor must undergo
impravementsanorder-to-enhance develo
Ment in Perth and Huron Counties. ' `W e
understand that MTC has. land purchased
and plans. in place to extend the four:)
highway from Kitchener to Tama nn," she
said. The mayors intend to request that this
four -lane development be extended to
Stratford. In addition, the brief will suggest a
bypass at Stratford and the possibility: of
passing lanes in `'precarious" locations to
improve the highway between the festival
town and'Goderich.
Representatives from the municipalities in
Huron and. Perth' Counties whith' border on
the highway have already met , with their
respective MPPs, Agriculture ' and • Food
Minister Jack Riddell and Speaker Hugh
Edighoffer. The two have arranged a further
meeting with Transportation Minister Ed
Fulton on Thursday, February 19. •
Mrs. Palmer said at least five cabinet
ministers are expected to attend that meeting
to hear the brief, She • also . extended an -
invitation for W arden Brian McBurney to
attend the meeting.
"One of the difficulties' in attracting
industry to this county is the poor transporta-
tion route up Highway 8 from Kitchener,'.'
she said. "It is:a problem. that pertains to all
of us and deserves your support:"
Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw opened the
committee's presentation, assuring council
the mayors were there only for "positive
reasons and (to) seek your support." He,•
