(b) Bill Panta, 4272 r ...k_hnre Road, R.R. #8, Newcastle, advised that he has
been an owner of the property located at 4272 Lakeshore Road since 1967.
Since this time, the frequency of freight and passenger trains travelling
from Toronto to Montreal and vice versa, near his driveway, has increased
to approximately 40 - 50 in a 24-hour period. He has recently been
informed that the CNR has made application to the Ministry of
Transportation of Ontario to raise the speed limit of trains to 160 km/h
and has a major concern specifICally as it relates to his 12-year old
daughter travelling to and from schooL He has held a meeting with the
CNR, CPR and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario officiaIs who
have advised him of the dangerous situation pertaining to his driveway.
