February 10, 1997
A public meeting was held for the purpose of passing By-law 97-28,
to authorize the closure of the Old Kingston Road Bridge to vehicular traffic, and
make improvements to maintain a pedestrian walkway, in Lot 33, Concession 2,
former Darlington Township.
Mr. Gordon Vinson, 22 Old Kingston Road, Courtice, LIE 2R8, addressed
Council objecting to the closure of the Old Kingston Road bridge. Mr. Vinson
indicated that closing the bridge provides only one exit from Old Kingston Road,
that being by way of Prestonvale Road. In doing so, it is necessary to attempt
accessing Highway No.2 by way of the traffic lights at Prestonvale Road and
Highway No.2. If the bridge is left open, it enables the residents to travel
westerly on Old Kingston Road and make easier access onto Highway No.2. He
requested that the bridge be kept open for safety and convenience purposes.
Karen Hoffman, S20 Rossland Road East, Unit Sl, Oshawa, L1G 2X5, advised
that she would not be addressing Council.
Luanne McNab, 4 Taunus Court, Bowmanville, L1C 4H5, advised that she would
not be addressing Council.
Joan Vinish, 3S Concession Street East, Bowmanville, advised that she would not
be addressing Council.

be addressing Council.

addressing Council.
Libby Racansky, 3200 Hancock Road, Courtice, LlE 2M1 addressed Council with
respect to Report PD-6-97, Placement of Fill From the Former General Motors
Site. She indicated that some important information is missing from the report,
namely:
· 1989 guidelines were used for the G.M. site rather than the revised
July 19, 1996 guidelines;
· The operator of the Solina site advised consultants that the property was
zoned Industrial/Commercial;
· Nine truckloads of industrial/commercial fill was deposited at the Solina
site on October 16, this fill coming from grids that tested for lead content
as high as 983 ppm;
· All soil samples that the Racansky's took from the Solina site on
October 22, 1996, tested in excess of SOO ppm;
