But to do all that without stepping on local council‘s toes will be the real chalâ€" lenge in the future, said Waterloo Regional Coun. Jane Mitchell. When Waterâ€" loo hits the Wilmot Line, it will hit the end of it‘s ability to expand. egional council had Rllw first look at its smart growth strategy last week, and the linchpins of that plan will be on intenâ€" sifying growth around the proposed lightâ€"rail transit line that will cut through the heart of Waterloo, while working more closely with the city council to better coordinate planning. Councillor urges residents to attend meeting on ‘smart growth‘ Cozy, Comfy, Sleepâ€" wear & R(,!"(’S intfln% whisPers {flombled 49e 1369 King Street, St. Jacobs (Upper Level) Wrap It Up/ (519)664â€"1016 By Bos VrBanac (Chromicte Staff 2X Continued from page 5 his upcoming adventure. In fact it‘s still hard for McKane to believe himself he‘s taking part in this journey. "If someone told me I‘d be doing this last July, 1 would have thought they were crazy," he said. According to the region‘s smart growth strategy, as it concerns the future of Waterloo, a lot of that urban intensification will fall around the lightâ€"rail transit line project still looking for funding from the federal government â€" and . the province. The first phase of that project will be started in Waterloo and will eventuâ€" ally connect the uptown with the St. Jacob‘s Farmer‘s Market. Stops along the way will include the University of Waterloo and the new Research and Technology Park being built on its north Two Waterloo men go over the top to raise funds for Makeâ€"Aâ€"Wish Foundation "By 2020 we‘ll be running out of space in Waterloo," said Mitchell. "That will mean how we build and what we do in Waterloo. "We just can‘t keep going into greenspace forever." That has proved to be a contentious issue this fall as the city continues to review its height and density land use policy. A plan to put up a 14â€"storey building has already been defeated, and a battle is brewing between the need for more student housing and the demands by local homeowners to preâ€" serve their neighbourhoods. "People either say I‘ve got guts, or I‘m nuts. Well, as they say there‘s no fools like old fools." McKane said the local office is well on its way to collecting its personal goal of $30,000 for the climb. However, he said, more pledges are welcome. Pledge forms are availâ€" "This particular plan will look at intensification along the LRT route," said Mitchell. "While nothing is set in stone, the concerns of myself and local residents is whether that would mean 15â€" or 20â€"storey apartment campus. The route would then extend down King Street into Kitchener. "We just can‘t keep going into greenspace forever." â€"Jane Mitchell regional councillor Cheques can be made out to IPCL Make A Wish Trust.

"When the City of Waterâ€" loo makes its bylaw on height and density, they will have to take into account what the region wants. If the city didn‘t take that into account, it could lead to a lot of OMB (Ontario Municiâ€" pal Board) hearings." "Those could match or they could not match," said Mitchell. "That‘s why I encourage people to come out to the public meetings being held (on smart growth) after Christmas to give their input to the region. While a lot of that plan is waiting for final approval of the LRT, the region‘s plan also runs askew of what the city envisions as smart growth development. While both levels of government are looking at nodal develâ€" opment, the region‘s plan is concentrated around the LRT while the city‘s plan is more spread out, buildings "I don‘t think so and peoâ€" ple (at the recent height and density meeting) certainly didn‘t think so. I think they prefer our intensification move out in threeâ€" to fiveâ€" storey buildings like we see in Montreal."
