PAGE 6 WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 17.1986 One-way streets rejected >Whtby's ad- ministrative committee bas recommended that one-way streets be removed from the downtown secondary plan as a futûre solution ta Whitby's traffic problems. The recommendation came after some residents again opposed oneways at last week's public meeting on the secondary plan. The plan in its present form doesn't commit the Town ta a one-way system but planners recommend Coîborne St. and Dundas St. as one-way streets as one option wben traffic reaches capacity. A second option would add Mary St. as a one-way. Thereport states that continued growtb will eventualiy require Dun- das St. to be sixilanes. "The one-way systemn would not bappen tomorrow. It is an op- tion the Town would bave," Whitby planner Bryce Jordan - told residents at the meeting. "It sbauld be provided for should it be needed in the future." But Ed Brackenbury, a Coiborne St. resident, cbarged that the Town bas not come up witb an alternative ta Coiborne St. in loyears. He said be would no longer live on the street if it were ta beconse one- way. "It would be quite a different street," added Bill Batten of Coîborne St. 11 guesaMr-. Brackenbury. and I. would be moving the same day. " Brackenbury and Met Femia of Brock St. bath warned of the traffic implications of the new GO station. A study is now being carried out by the Town's engineering departmnent on traffic.

Administrative comn- mittee members recommended that the Town's operations committee consider the downtown problems. Petition to oppose Brock development A 30-name petition was presented last week ta 'oppose a planned commercial develop- ment on Brock St. S. At a public meeting beld by the' Town's ad- ministrative commit- tee, Lamna England read the petition which states that the property, at 506 Brock St. S., sbould remain residential as it would be "unfar" to allow it next ta residen- ces. She also mentioned garbage and traffic problems as possible ef- fects of commercial development as well as decreased property values for nearby residences. She said the Town should no longer permit the '"rape" of the down- town area by developers. She instead suggested that available commercial space in the downtown area first be used. "Containment of the commercial area is necessary," she stated while reading the petition. England and other residents had .also previously opposed another proposed com- mercial development next door ta the newest application. IlWe'd like it ta remain a residential block," said England at a November meeting for an application by Salvatore Princiatto ta establisb a commercial development on a property now occupied by a single family dwelling. The newest ap- plication, by Lorna Clieah, for tbe next property at 506 Brock St. S., is also now oc- cupied by a bouse. Whitby planning department bas recommended that botb rezoning applications be considered in conjun- ction with the secondary plan study for down- town., Tom England, at last week's meeting, asked if the effects of com- mercial development on the street combined witb the increased traf- fic for GO transit bas been considered. He predicted the two factors could resuit in traffic "chaos", cam- paring it ta, the "un- believable traffic" near believaibe traffic" near the GO station in Pickering.
