There has to be a big payday for somebody. Maybe the two farms at the north end of town will do well financially. Maybe local developers have long ago bought up the properties that Woolwich would like to see developed. Maybe Lanxess Canada is hoping to evade millions of dollars of cleanup costs on the two farms just mentioned.
Furthermore what is the problem with either the west side Alternative or the other east side Alternative along Union St. from south to north and then through the former Home Hardware property up to Church St. (Hwy #86)? The west side Alternative is Listowel Rd. going west from the traffic light at the south end of Elmira on Arthur St.. You follow Listowel Rd. until you hit the traffic light at Floradale Rd. and make a right turn. Again follow Floradale Rd. northwards to the round about on Church St. and go straight through. Take he first road to the right (Reid Woods Dr.) and follow it eastwards over to Arthur St. North. Turn left and you have just successfully by-passed Elmira from south to north.
I drove Union St. today and it is in excellent shape all the way northwards to Erb St. from the same traffic light at the south end of Elmira at Arthur St. as the west side Alternative starting point. Union St. has recently been widened in spots as well as repaved. It just like the west side Alternative takes trucks with no problem. I really don't see where it is honestly possible to claim that the proposed new road up the east side is the cheapest Alternative. I believe that is a combination of horse sh*t and poo poo del toro.
