Subject: Urgent: commuter rail


Unfortunately the hopes of commuter rail service in the HRM might be
dashed very shortly-unless a strong appeal is made RIGHT NOW to keep CN
from its September 1st deadline of removing the tracks. I understand that
Senator Bernie Boudreau was going to make a plea to the City Council this
coming Tuesday to hold on to the tracks however apparently the senator is
in the Carribean so commuter rail won't even be on this coming Tuesday's
Council.agenda!! This Tuesday is the last city council meeting before the
September 1st deadline. I strongly urge individuals to contact David
Collinette (federal minister of transportation) and explain why the tracks
should not be removed. His fax number is: 613 995 0327.

I have some excellent maps provided by Marcus Garnet that prove that
the population base in the proposed rail corrodor is more than
substantial enough to support a commuter rail service.

Please forward this message to any individuals  or community groups who
are supportive of transportation options in this municipality.--
