Last Thursday evening the Parkway Belt Steering Committee held an open house at Thornhill Community Centre, inviting residents of Longbridge Road and their elected representatives to discuss the results of a report about the relocation of hydro transmission lines through the area. In September of 1978 the Premier of Ontario and the energy minister asked Ontario Hydro to re-evaluate the feasibility of placing the transmission lines underground, to investigate the possibility of locating the overhead lines farther away from the properties on Longbridge Road and to work with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) and see if they could come up with design com- promises to minimize the visual impact of the lines. Towers to move This latest report from the Park-way Belt Steering Committee says the MT(‘ has decided a 12-lane 407 Highway is not necessary and eight lanes will be ac- ceptable, making it possible for them to squeeze the transportation facilities. The report from Ontario Hydro in October of 1978 stated that because of the additional cost ($200 million more) additional time (at least five years required) and reliability, it was not feasible to bury the cable. MTC representative, Len Dutchak. said Highway 7 and 407 have two en- tirely different functions, one arterial. to give direct access to the community and the other an inter-regional high- speed freeway. Residents and elected represen- tatives had many alternatives to the proposed overhead transmission lines which they felt Ontario Hydro had not considered. The Liberal has tried to get the an- swers to the question of why these proposals for the lines were not ac- ceptable. ’Both roads. will be necessary. said Mr. Dutchak, to provide capacity for projected traffic. _ r Daniel MacDougall of Riverside Drive. south of the proposed line. had three suggestions: combine Highways 7 and 407 and move the whole hydro project north; go north into the sugar bush area; move two 500 kV lines as far north as possible and bury the 230 kV lines. Mr. Dutchak said it would not help to move into the sugar bush area because the extension of the design would move closer to the Boyle Community. leaving them exposed to noise. The highway will already affect the sugar bush by being so close. he said. not by removing the trees but by salt contamination from the road. Ontario Hydro spokesman, Bob Murray said because of the nature of the transmission of electricity. the arrangement of two 500 kV lines en- closed by two 230 kV lines requires less land than two 500kV lines north of two 230 kV lines â€" hence the suggested arrangement of towers. But, there is a possibility. said Mr. Murray. that the 230 kV lines could be buried between the two 500 kV lines in this area at some time in the future. whenever they are needed. Res/den ts ’ alternatives disputed by Hydro reps Alf Stong méntioned a new concept he had heard of, with the lines only four to five feet above the ground fully protected. and mentioned the thought he would like to see this possibility EYour interim tax bills were mailed on February 28, €1979 with payments due on the following dies. 3 We trust you will appreciate the courtesy of this reminder nofice.

NOTICE FIRST PAYMENT DUE MARCH 30,1979 SECOND PAYMENT DUE JUNE 29, 1979 1979 INTERIM TAX BILLING By changing the location of a future utility strip and squeezing the highway the government has gained enough land to push the towers 150 to 200 feet away from the Longbridge Road property lines. The whole point of the meeting last Thursday was to get feedback on the report and to respond to concerned parties‘ questions. There were 16 government representatives from four different ministries as well as Ontario Hydro to answer specific questions. “Judging from the reaction from property owners. I feel we‘ve been successful." said Rashad Messih‘ Manager of the Parkway Belt Group. Len Dutchak. representing the MTC‘. said he felt people were satisfied with the redesign plan and Bob Murray of Ontario Hydro. after drawing many diagrams to answer specific technical questions, said he thought the whole point of the information centre‘ to answer questions, had been successful, Garnet Williams. Mayor of Vaughan, where most of the changes in design were made, said he was pleased with the consideration given to Vaughan residents and said he thought the redesign was “a big improvement”. York Centre MLA. Alf Stong said he felt the redesign did not give the relief required. “We‘re still stuck with the towers he said, explored for short distances such as in this area. Mr. Murray said it was not technically possible to follow this suggestion safelyl Insulators hanging from the wires are approximately 15 feet long, said Mr. Murray. and the utility needs in- sulation distance. 500.000 volts would short circuit and go to the ground, he said. Mr, Murray pointed out to cross Yonge Street at Highway 407, Ontario Hydro would have to place 16 lattice towers to manage two major angles and go over the proposed interchange. Al Cheney of Longbridge Road had two more suggestions. One was to use a single tower at a slight increase in cqst. The report from the steering comâ€" mittee mentions the fact the govern- ment directed hydro to reduce its capital construction program and because of added expense steel poles were not acceptable. Mr. Murray agaifi outlined why this was not an acceptable alternative. ‘ i If steel polés Were used. 40 wduld be required to do the same thing, said the hydro spokesman. ‘ Mr. Murray considers these steel poles “massive” and said that although it is a subjective opinion. he did not think there was any visual im- provement by using single towers Mr. Cheney also suggested lowering the grade about 20 feet along the utility corridor and then raise a bank about 20 feet thus hiding the towers another 40 feet in built up areas. Mr. Murray acknowledged this suggestion but said in his opinion it was still a subjective judgement of a visual situation â€" the towers will still be approximately 130 feet high. He said he did not see this as a practical answer either as the lines must always be 40 feet off the ground (absolute minimum) and at maximum sag conditions, between towers. this man-made rise in the ground would make this clearance distance im- p0551ble. E.A. BARTON TREASURER Ontario Hydro has a landscape architect on staff whose job right now is to find a way to soften the visual impact of the proposed hydro towers at Yonge Street and the proposed Highway 407. John Murchison was present at the Parkway Belt West Information meeting, along with his slide projector. showing work now being done in the Milton-Highway 401 area, and a possibility for the Richmond Hill Thornhill area. Five thousand, 12-foot fast growing deciduous trees are being planted in the Milton area and Mr. Murchison's slides showed how these trees, drawn realistically on the slide itself, created a screening effect. Trees would soften blow Ten to fifteen thousand trees and buses would be needed in the Bathurst Street to Bayview Avenue strip, he said. 5"?
