The municipal services in the Realzon subdivision in Bolton were recently assumed by council.

Also known as the Humber Valley Meadows subdivision, the residential development comprises 173 lots and is located west of Queen Street North and north of King Street West. It includes Cross Country Boulevard, Gray Park Drive, Country Trail, Laurel Park Gate, English Rose Lane, Shangrila Terrace and Natureview Court.

Dan Kennaley, Caledon's manager of policy, told council last Tuesday they're requesting to be a full partner in the study at no cost, the same status as the Town of Halton Hills was given.

Peel region and Halton region agreed to undertake a joint study of the transportation network at the north Halton-Peel boundary with completion before the end of 2007. The study cost will be split 50-50 between the two regions. The City of Brampton has agreed to pay for half of the Peel share.

Councillor Allan Thompson said this goes through Ward 2 so Caledon needs to be involved in the study. He added they need to do an assessment themselves. He also pointed out Mayfield Road is heavily taxed and needs to be four lanes wide.

Kennaley responded Mayfield Road is ultimately supposed to be six lanes wide.
