It doesn't have to be that way however as both the Region of Waterloo and Woolwich Township favour the east side route for the By-Pass it's pretty much guaranteed. This development (road & commercial development) on the east side of Elmira will run through and over contaminated lands curtesy of Uniroyal Chemical and all their fellow travellors. These contaminated lands will then slowly over decades or longer discharge into the Canagagigue Creek and flow into the Grand River which is one of the sources of water for Kitchener-Waterloo and Elmira residents. With to date no acknowledgement much less treatment for dissolved Dioxins and more we here in Elmira will be on the forefront of recycling via discharging NDMA, chlorinated solvents, PAHs, dioxins and DDT into the Creek and then after inadequate treatment having it pumped back up to us for household use.
Again the obvious way to avoid this is by taking the cheaper and faster By-Pass route on the west side from Listowel Rd. to Floradale Rd., straight through the roundabout and then right on Reid Woods Dr. and then left (north) onto Arthur St. N.. This route also avoids having to build a major bridge over the Canagagigue as well as avoids all the low lying floodplain on the east side which routinely floods.
If the process were honest which is a joke these questions about DDT and Dioxin contamination would have been honestly investigated and addressed many years ago. This however is Woolwich Township and Waterloo Region and they are masters at manipulation and deceit, especially when it comes to "investigations". Just look at both the phony Elmira groundwater "cleanup" as well as the MECAC (Municipal Elections Compliance Audit Committee) "investigations" of Scot Hahn and Sandy Shantz. Pathetic jokes both of them.
