Please note that Commuter Rail will probably not be going to HRM Council this coming Tuesday 25 April as I had earlier indicated. Staff are preparing a report and the issue may go on Tues. May 2. I'll keep you posted as things develop. In the meantime, this gives more opportunities for members of the public to get on the agenda for presentations at any Council meeting if you send a faxed request to the Mayor and Councillors at 490-4208. There's a maximum of two presentations per Council session, with a maximum duration of 5 minutes each. You can also just send them a written submission (same fax). The phone contact for either presentations or submissions is Shelly Brown at the Municipal Clerk's Office, 490-6524. Any ideas on how to cost share or obtain corporate partnerships on commuter rail would certainly help the debate at this point! Also we are looking for comparative cost recovery figures from other smaller cities. Any such material could be sent to me at fax 490-4346. Thanks for your interest. - Marcus Garnet, HRM Planning & Development 490-4481 Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 15:34:18 -0300 From: "Marcus Garnet" <garnetm@region.halifax.ns.ca> For your information, see the attached message from HRM's Deputy CEO. = Commuter rail will not go to Council until May 9 at the very earliest.
