MINTO – A request allowing a bus company to use the parking lot at the Harriston-Minto Community Centre has been dropped.
Cook Bus Lines, which provides transportation services for elementary schools and the high school in the Town of Minto, asked the town for permission to park four buses at the facility on weekdays and weekends, recreation services manager Matt Lubbers stated in a May 7 report to council.
However, after several councillors expressed concerns about loss of parking for major events or possible additional snowplowing at the facility, council deferred a decision until its June 4 meeting.
On June 4, Lubbers reported facilities manager Al Carr followed up on the matter with representatives from Cook Bus Lines and they are no longer asking to use the parking lot.
“A revised agreement is not required and will not be pursued,” Lubbers noted.
