Hussey said a new facility would improve response times to the west end of the city, an area which is not adequately serviced by the current fire station located on Westmount Road. near tion in terms of access and response times," Hussey "It's something the neighbourhood would buy into," he said. "There aren't very many facilities on the westside." Hussey also pointed out that the city would keep the baseball diamond that already exists on the land. Since then the city has been unable to formalize the purchase of the land for the fire station because of con- ditions and restrictions imposed by Trillium Estates, owner of the land. or other agencies or authorities. Earlier this month the city was prepared to enter into an agreement with the University of Waterloo for its available land consisting of two triangles at Fischer- Hallman Road and laurelwood Drive. last winter, the city was preparing to begin the con- struction of a new $2-million fire hall near the comer of Gateslone Drive and Columbia Street, which was then deemed as the best location for a new facility.

Once the city constructs a new fire hall and vacales the Westmount Road station, the region is interested in relocating its existing ambu- lance bay at the corner of King and Columbia Streets to the abandoned site.
