Henry, who sits on the liaison committee along with alderman John Shortreed and Kitchener‘s reâ€" presentatives, aldermen Grace Stoner and Dom Carâ€" dillo, said the committee reviewed the Maple Heights transit issue ‘"from beginning to end"" but no recommengations will be made at this point. He said committee members have received no specific directions from council and therefore could do little at this point towards resolving the transit battle that has been making headlines since last summer. While Maple Heights was discussed at the liaison committee meeting, Henry said the main topic was the transit agreement itself. The agreement is a legal and binding contract which was drawn up beâ€" tween the two cities prior to the formation of Kitchener Transit on Jan. 1, 1973. Kitchener Transit on Jan. 1, 1973. He said further meetings will be held between the two cities regarding the agreement to prevent a reâ€" petition of the Maple Heights affair. Last week, Kitchener Mayor Morley Rosenberg reversed his previous stand on not providing transit service to Maple Heights or even providing Waterloo council with transit information until Waterloo dropped its appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) over Kitchener‘s refusal to provide peakâ€" hour service to Maple Heights. But Mayor Marjorie Carroll said last week the committee is weighted heavily in Kitchener‘s favor because Waterloo has only two representatives and has proved ineffective in dealing with the Maple Heights issue. Waterloo dropped its appeal in favor of having the liaison committee study the issue, but Rosenberg called a meeting of the transit advisory committee for Friday, Jan. 9 instead. The transit committee was formed two years ago to make recommendations to Kitchener council reâ€" garding transit service to both cities. It consists of political representatives from both cities. The transit issue first arose when residents in the Maple Heights section of Waterloo requested peakâ€" hour transit service last summer but Kitchener Transit offered a counter proposal of full service which was rejected by both city council and resiâ€" dents living in the affected area. The liaison committee has been in existence for several years but has seldom met. However, it will meet again in January in an attempt to hammer out a new agreement.
