proposal to link East

The fink has bec: slated for a
rethink along with the size of a
proposed subdivision development
in the area.

A motion of deferral on the
reaffirmation of the roadway in-
cluded council asking staff to look
at a new proposal for a subdivision
consisting of half of the 426 homes
originally proposed for Kilmer
Creek.

Council also asked staff to
report back to council on options

should try to work on the existing’ f

Wellington traffic problem first,’
he said. '

Bill Sievewright, a member of
the North Lonsdale Ratepayers
Association termed council's
moves ‘‘good progress."’ ‘*We’ve
been pushing for them to back off
on Braemar-Dempsey for the last
3-4 years. They finally realize just
because the land is there, it
shouldn’t ali be developed.’’

The new road could cost
anywhere from $1.7 million to $2.8
million according to preliminary
engineering estimates.
