"The Board of core Management cannot cure these problems on its own," he said.. Mr. Kirby pointed out that if a merchant can establish a modemn store in an old build- ing, it can be an asset to him and the community. . e also suggested that a -proper system of parking with paving and markers installed in the lanes and lots behind thé existing buildings couldý double or triple the parking space in these areas. Parking close to the stores is neeeded and the private lots are not as well maintained as developmen't shown to Cham ber, they could be, he said. Mr'. Kirby also suggested that more shade trees and rest areas should be estab- lished in the downtown. He particularly referred 'to the many elderly residents of the downtown area who have no place to sit down while shop- ping. The concept drawn up by Mr. Milîs features a number of these proposed rest areas and a parkette for the south east corner. of Byron. and Dundas Streets. Mr. Kirby, pointed out there is a deficiency of green space in downtown Whitby and the concept of the Board of Management will try to do something about it. Mr. Kirby went on to point out the need for council to update and approve the secondary plan proposai for the downtown which was produced in May 1975, at a cost of $15,000, and neyer adopted by council.. "We need a lonig-range plan so the merchants can negotiate long-term leases," he said. The owners at present, said Mir. Kirby are waiting ta see if a large development program might corne in and therefore they do not want to renovate their buildings.ý The secondary plan is also needed to pre- serve the architectureof the .existing buildings, he said. Mr. Milîs stressed 'the importance of the historical architecture qf many down- town Whitby buildings.
