United Way chairman Walter Beath metaphorically delivered his message to the crowd. He started by talking abouft the in- vention of the wheel, then he unveiled a wheelbarrel. He wanted to quickly illustrate that first . there was the wheel, then the wheelbarrel, but with- out people to make-,them work, they rerelatively insignificant.

"I have. a feeling this is a closed country club type setting,» said Jim Carter of Muir Cres. "The waterfront entirely belongs'to the public, flot one interest,» agreed Peter Hartman of Fallingbrook St. About 150 residents attended the meeting and most appeared upset at the removal of a ,public walkway between Coscan's pro- posaI and Whitby harbor frm plans for the project. The proposai features four 15- story condominium develop- nments, 50 townhouses a recrea- tion centre with an inâoor swim- ming pool and underground parking. It would be built on the lands being vacated by Cartier McNamara. Coscan had featured the public waikway when it orilzinaliv ore-. sented the proposai to planning committee in April. But it was removed, on a recommendation by north ward councillor Rosa Batten, because -of liabilitycon- cerna. Batten explained bis --reason for the recommenbdation at the public meeting. «With. the walkway ail the way around the- pro sal, the p>arking garage was right up against the water," said Batten. He, said he was worried that waves crashing against the wal and ice forming in the winter couid cause seepage of water into the garage. "And i f that happens the liabi- lity wiil be the Town's problem. There is aiso the constant pro- biem of maintenance," continued- Batten, who added that he did -rrA think the walkway would iiave a lot of pedestrian traffic. Instead of the walkway al around, on committee's recom- mendation Coscan is proposing a walkway down Brock St. S. and along one area of the develop- ment te, a manmade spit jutting 60 feet into the harbor. A walk- way would also run along the north of the project to a parkette. DougAnderson of Eûcdid St. argued that because the walk- ways were not connected they would not be used.. "This isn't really for Whitby. Why not open it up and p ut in a restaurant or a coffee shop and bring in tourisin instead of creat- ing a dead end," said Chrisine Stevenson of Henry St. Planning director Bob Short SEE PAGE 33 Pice seek boat's owner Durham Regional Police are looking for the wner of a cata- maran that. washed ashore at Whitby.
