His comments were echoed by city public works manager Norm Levac. “It’s truly a great occasion,” he said as he offered his best wishes to contractors working on the project, including Cornwall Gravel. Three new buildings will be constructed and upgrades will be implemented at the primary wastewater treatment plant to im- prove the quality of discharge into the St. Lawrence River. The upgrades will enable the city to better protect the environment and ensure the health and safety of resi- dents while creating local jobs, according to the city. The federal government will contribute up to $18.5 million to the project. The Ontario government has already provided $18.5 million. Cornwall will cover the remaining cost of the project. “Modern and effective waste water infra- structure is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of our communities,” said Guy Lauzon, Conservative MP for Stor- mont-Dundas-South Glengarry, speaking on behalf of Denis Lebel, minister of trans- port, infrastructure and communities. “Our government is proud to invest in the renewal of this facility which will create jobs and economic growth in the Cornwall region, and help to protect the St. Lawrence River for future generations.”

COUNCIL: From Page 2 By closing off Lamoureux Park to e-bikes, commuters would be forced onto Montreal Road, which would not be good, she said. She suggested council consider “shrink- ing” the restricted zones to a small area around play area and splash pad and an- other area from the clock tower to band- shell. But Kilger’s proposal seemed to resonate the most with council members struggling to arrive at a compromise that would allow e-bikes in the park without jeopardizing public safety. Councillors Syd Gardiner, Denis Carr and Bernadette Clement all lauded the sugges- tion as a good compromise on the divisive issue. The city will review the new rules after one year to determine if they should be im- plemented permanently. A survey conducted of 458 residents indi- cated 56.4 of them were against e-bikes on city recreational paths, according to Chris- tine Lefebvre, city parks and recreation manager. greg.kielec@eap.on.ca Proposal lauded “This project is not a shiny project like the Benson Centre … but the project affects every Cornwall resident,” he boomed. Local political leaders grabbed some shovels Friday afternoon to mark the biggest infrastructure project in the city’s history along Montreal Road in the city’s east end. MP Guy Lauzon, along with MPPs Jim McDonell and Grant Crack and Cornwall mayor Bob Kilger to mark the beginning of construction at the city’s $55.5-million sec- ondary wastewater treatment plant. “It really is a very, very special day,” Kil- ger said during a brief ceremony on a lawn just west of the construction site. “This proj- ect has been a long time coming and wait- ing.” The city was holding out for a 90 per cent funding deal, but in the end settled for two- thirds funding from the federal government and province, Kilger said. “Still we a got a heck of deal.” And he praised the federal and provincial governments for a “gutsy” decision to em- bark on the infrastructure program helping fund the new plant despite tough economic times, especially knowing it could result in future deficits.
