Shih asi Investment Corp. wants te build a four-story, 89- room hotel on the northeast cor- ner of Brock St. and Hwy. 401. However,- Shihasi has been waiting until work can proceed on a new exit ramp from the highway onte Consumers Rd. te replace the current eit onto Brock. Shihasi president Vinnie Patel said that if the hotel was built now, inotorists would be able te see it from the highway but would have difficulty getting te it. He said moterists would have te drive through the residential area and mighit be discouraged trying to find the-hotel. " Right now they don't have a convenient exit. The new one to be bujît onto Consumers will take themn right -to our door,» said Patel. Patel said the hotel is con- tingent upon the raxnp work pro- ceeding. While he wants to build in Whitby, Patel does not want te wait much longer. Ufl's a good location, we're pre- pared to wait a reasonable length of time. But if it goes on teo long we might have te look elsewhere.» Patel estimated the cost of the building at $8 te $9 million. Gabe Oliver, projct engineer *with Durham - Regionps works department, said tenders for the project were te be called this week* but is not certain. that scýedue can be met. Oliver said there was an agree- ment between Witb, Dur~ham and the Ontario Miistry of 4 Transportation that each would f be responsible for certain aspects of the project. uThe Town now lookcs like they don't want te do their share,» said Oliver, who still remin hopeful that work can be comple- t b November. «e can't pave roads after frost get in the ground. We might have te step for the winter andl delay final completion until spring of next year," said Oliver. Whitby Brunelle, Region's councillor Marcel a member of the works conuittee, is hoping that differences can be resolveéd at the meeting. As Brunelle explaied, the Region.élaims Whtby agreed to purchase 1property on t he west side of Brock St. for a new westbound ramp onto the 401. "The Town bas taken the posi- tion it's a regional road (Brock) and provincial1 highway and it's not our responsibility,» said Brunelle. "It will happen, there's no danger of it not happening.
