Hi all. Transport 2000 Atlantic is issuing a plea that anyone/group interested in sustainable transportation initiatives and protecting the environment from hundreds of more trucks on the road, please e-mail/write/phone Cape Breton MLAs, MPs, Sydney councilors, and ministers of Cabinet and let them know you want the rail link to Sydney to be preserved from being torn up. With the demise of Devco and Sysco, the CBNS railway is formally applying to abandon this section of line which means that the Sydney regional municipality with a population of over 125,000 people will have no access to rail to ship their goods. This will have a devastating effect on an area already hit hard with unemployment as future industries will not locate there and any goods shipped will move through use of highways. The area is already suffering from pollution effects from the industrial era and does not need to add hundreds of trucks to the roads. FYI-Ron Russell is the Minister of Transportation. The nurses recently showed that the government will act under political pressure. Thanks, for more information call John Pearce at Transport 2000 Atlantic 902-469-3474 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- The preceding message was posted on Sustainable Maritimes (sust-mar) -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- DOES SUST-MAR KNOW? Not unless you tell us ... To submit a message about the environment/sustainability in the Maritimes, just send it to <sust-mar@chebucto.ns.ca> Messages are prioritised and queued, so please be patient if your message doesn't appear right away.
