Peter Brimacombe: We have to have an efficient infrastructure to blunt the disastrous effects of peak oil. Once we reach peak oil there will be huge price increases in energy especially gasoline and diesel fuel and there will be shortages and electrical black-outs. Development in the Southern Corridor is an important part of an efficient infrastructure.
Alan Asselstine:
Maria McRae: needs direction from the Hunt Club Community Organization because talks with the NCC raise the expectation that some kind of deal can be worked out this summer.
Gisèle Loiselle-Branch: a new medical centre on Broadview in Toronto is attractive and practical, the City of Ottawa should consider this as an example of efficient infrastructure.
Alan Asselstine: The HCCO recommends that the City study a 3 way stop
at the south-end of Plante and McCarthy. What is being done?
Maria McRae: Traffic counts will be done.
