MIKE ,THOMAS. 527-1539 or (519) 673-3521 Representing TILLCAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION 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."
