gŏđŏ editionap.ca Hawkesbury won’t reverse one-way section
one-way would be easily implemented, the firm found. “In a nutshell, a return to a bi-directional street for Régent is risky and would strictly limit traffic of heavy vehicles needed for its commercial purposes,” the town’s adminis- trator, Jean-Yves Carrier, noted in a report to council. “The reversed one-way requires either land expropriation or restricting right turns to trucks. The only solution that offers maximum traffic flexibility, safest passage and unrestricted commercial traffic use is the existing one-way.” Mayor René Berthiaume, Councillors Michel Beaulne, Alain Fraser and Marc
McGill to Stanley Streets into a one-way eastbound street. Since that move in Octo- ber, the municipality has been under pres- sure to alter the decision. Dépanneur owner Ataur Khan has complained that his sales have dropped by 20 per cent and the Mc- Gill-Régent intersection has become even more dangerous since the change went into effect. However, Roger Quesnel, senior technol- ogist with Ainley Graham & Associates Lim- ited, has concluded the town either keeps the one-way section or re-establish the section as a two-way street but ban large trucks from Régent entirely. A westbound
Tourangeau voted to ratify the recommen- dation. Councillors André Chamaillard, Jo- hanne Portelance and Michel Thibodeau voted against. Portelance regretted that a business had suffered because of the decision, which she said was not properly advertised. Thibodeau said if the Régent Street solution was applied elsewhere in town, “We would have one-way streets ev- erywhere.”Chamaillard also questioned the logic behind the move. “Régent Street has been there for 100 years, how many acci- dents have occurred there?” Fraser observed that at a recent public meeting, residents agreed that the inter- section was safer now for elderly pedestri- ans. All clear, or not? RICHARD MAHONEY RICHARD.MAHONEY@EAP.ON.CA VANKLEEK HILL | A developer hopes to build houses on the site of the former Norda spice extraction operation in Vankleek Hill. But first, Les Entreprises H.D.J.S. Gascon Limitée must prove that the land on Main Street is free of pollution – again. The for- mer owner had carried out a clean-up on the property, however, Les Entreprises Gascon has been advised by the province that it must demonstrate the land is safe for residential development. “The applicant submitted a letter from the Ministry of the Environment that the site has been decontaminated,” plan- ner Dominique Lefebvre told Champlain Township council recently. “However, af- ter discussion with the Cornwall office they confirmed that a record of site condi- tion demonstrating that this property can accommodate residential uses has to be submitted. The reason being that the for- mer company did not conduct decontam- ination in order to allow residential uses.” Mayor Gary Barton believes the require- ment is excessive. “Is it contaminated or not? The developer already has got clear- ance, now he is being told that he has to spend another $10,000 on a study,” said Barton. He recalled that long-time residents never had issues with the by-products created by the spice extracting and food flavouring plant. In fact, one material aid- ed plant growth. “We would that stuff on the garden and it grew like hell,” Barton remarked. The original Norda business operated under different names between the 1940s and 1993, when the large red brick build- ings on Farmers Avenue was mothballed. The structures on the two-acre site were demolished in 2009. The developer must fulfill several other requirements before a zoning change can be approved and the plan to build single detached dwellings can proceed. Gascon must show that the subdivision will not affect fish habitat. In addition to studies on storm water management and traffic, a study of noise and vibration is needed because of the property’s proxim- ity to railway tracks.

HAWKESBURY | The Town of Hawkesbury has refused to reverse last fall’s decision to convert a section of Régent Street into a one-way lane. Council voted 4-3 at a recent meeting to maintain the status quo after receiving a traffic study report that defended the con- version. Pedestrian safety had been cited as the reason the town transformed the strip from
