Montroyal extension, This is the
silent majority that want this exten-
sion completed as soon as possi-
ble.” Laurie Levangie, co-chair of
the = Delbrook | Community
Association, told council.

Ron Cleven agreed.

“People who haven't been loud
and haven't been angry, haven't
been heard, We haven't asked those
who want the eatension to wave
placards or to lobby council inem-
bers,” said Cleven.

But councillors Jim Cuthbert
and Janice Harris argued against
hastening updated studies in order
to meet a budget deadline.

“We get what we pay for. We
will get what we have time to
obtain, What we don’t get is the
complete story,” said Cuthbert.

However, Coun.-Ernie Crist
argued that putting off any decision
on the Montroyal connector would
be poor government.

“This is not a conspiracy against

yeu, your neighborhood or your
children, We are trying to come to
rips with a festering problem that
has beset us for a aumtber af years,

“All you have to do is ook into
your neighborhood. WW is dividing
your acighiborhoud. Peaple who
used to be friends are enemies,”
said Crist.

Council agreed to a suggestion
from Don Bell that will see staff
repore back on the cost of hiring
outside consublants to complete
traffic studies that cuinet be han-
died in-house within a three-meath
time-frame,

In the meantime staff plan to
complete:

Bian update of the numbers in the
1984 _N. D. Lea traffie study, look-
ing at 24-hour volumes, peak hour
counts and license plate studies:

@ a ceview of the number of chil-
dren involved in special Programs
at adjacent schools;

Gi a review of assessed values along
ihe route and the impact of the con-
nector on adjacent property values;
