Update on the Old Alton Public School

6/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Background:
On October 17th, 2017 a community meeting was held in Alton to allow us to gather and collaborate on ideas regarding the needs of our community. Included in the agenda was a discussion on potential uses of the old Alton School house.
 
Following the community meeting, the Town received an additional submission from a resident that supported the execution of a feasibility study on the reuse of, and the conversion of, the Old Alton School House into a public use arts and cultural centre.
 
Update:
We have received an update on the a feasibility study from Ben Roberts, Manger Business Development, Tourism and Culture at the Town of Caledon. He advises that the Town is in the final stages of completing the Request for Proposal (RFP) process and selecting a consultant. It will likely be another week before the successful candidate can be announced publicly
 
Once they have had an initial meeting with the consultant they will set the timeline and work plan.
 
We look forward to sharing future updates.

6/1/2018

0 Comments

 
The Alton Village Association recently asked Serguei Kabanov (of the Region of Peel) to describe Low Impact Development underground storage tanks are, and explain "Lay By" (as per the Main Street Streetscaping plan)here is what he shared:

Lay-by is on-street parking which will be provided on the South side of Queen Street East, between Alton Grange Trail entrance and the new bridge
  • It will accommodate a total of 8 vehicles (2 accessible spots)
  • Surface of the lay-by area will be made out of large permeable stone
​LID underground storage tanks - Stormtec will be positioned below the lay-by surface area
  • The tanks are plastic storage tanks (dome shape pipes, see below) installed under the road to collect and retain any water runoff and gradually infiltrate into the ground, rather than discharge into the Creek
  • Oil Grid Separators (OGS) will be installed to treat any run-off prior to discharging it to the underground storage tanks
