Another problemn counicil 'ill have to face is truck traffic on Brock Street, which, is annoyng downtown mer- chants, Council a year ago asked the Ministry 3ýf Transportation and Communications if it could put up signs to direct heavy trucks to Thickson Road, but the request was turned down because provin- cial grants were used to re- build Brock Street to a capa- city to handie heavy trucks. Councillor Gerry Emm be- lieves that the Whitby-Ajax town line will take much. of the truck. traffic once the CPR underpass on that road is built. Federal fundîng is still pending for this project.
