This is a city drawing from the Allandale Community improvement plan.

The plan is dated September 2009.

It is covered under -

SCHEDULE A TO BY-LAW 2007-084

 

You will note that the GO Station for Allandale was slated to be located

in a much different place than it is in now.

When the city called for tenders to develop the Allandale Station Lands they used this survey of the area. Actually they would have provided a Site Survey that looked much like this picture but it would have carried more information such as surveyor's marks.

The developers would have relied on this survey to prepare their presentation documents. These documents would have shown a plan view on the survey indicating the placement of buildings, parking sidewalks and landscaping.

However, with the GO Station now moved to a location where it eats into the space allotted for the developers. It shows the city is not playing fair in its bidding process.

The winning developer, CGI Group, is now suing the city of Barrie for upwards of $80 million.

This could all have been avoided if the Mayor and Council had played fair.

The developer, CGI even called Mayor Lehman to ask for a meeting where they could settle this problem. Mayor Lehman did not consult with council. He just outright refused to meet. He cannot do this under the law.The Mayor
should have consulted with Council.

 

My main concern throughout all that I write is the safety of the Barrie Public and visitors to this city. I believe and it has yet to be proven that our drinking water has been compromised.

Stand up and be counted. Write to the Mayor and your councillor and demand they own up and come clean.



Just read an Engineer's Report on the soil and site conditions at the Allandale Train Station. Wow. Have we got some dangerous things happening
Site contamination where lead levels are 100% over acceptable. Run off into the storm sewers and into Lake Simcoe suspected.
Email or phone the City Clerk and ask for the cities site report from back in 2010.
It supposedly shows mercury contamination. Mercury is one of the most toxic metals known to man and woman. Mercury can breach the placenta and enter the fetus.
Scary Huh??
Why didn't the city let its citizens know?
