Concerns Over Wider Church Street The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, July 6,1994 3 From Page One With little or no boulevard along the street, Evans noted, "the snow will be removed from Church Street, as required to ensure that the sidewalk can be used during the winter months." The project will also include a streetscape plan to be looked at by a landscape architect regarding the planting of trees on private property after the project is completed. This plan will be reviewed by residents at an Information Centre to be held this fall. Also, the works department will replace the existing decorative street lights on Church and Division at a cost of $24,000. Lavictoire said the width of the road should be slashed by five feet taking it down to 26 feet across.

Another local resident, David Wing noted he felt there had been a lot of compromises. A current petition that has been circulated amongst the residents calls for an "all or nothing" stance with the Public Works Department. Wing had two concerns with the width of the street and the sidewalk moving on the north side of the street closer to homes. His view was supported by another another resident and neighbor, Dorothy Dorothy James. As far as Evans is concerned, "the width is not negotiable." Church Street is a busy street now and it will only become busier as time moves on, he said. While repeatedly, Church Street and area residents wanted compromises, compromises, he noted, "I would rather see the sidewalk go closer to homes rather than take a tree, but they don't see it that way. That's uncompromising!" uncompromising!" Clarington Councillors including David Scott do not want to see the widening of the street "change the character of the over 100-year old street. "We have to take a reality check and ask ourselves, 'how busy does it get in downtown Bowmanville?"' The committee decided to go with Evans' and the works depart' ment's recommendations. Kinsmen Bike-a-thon Safety Course Winners Receive Awards While Clarington residents clear- Future of OPR Detachment Being Studied The future of the Newcastle OPP Detachment is being discussed in a series of restructuring meetings aimed at cutting costs. According to Inspector Don Beckett of District #5, Aurora, the short term plan is to amalgamate the Newcastle Detachment with Beaverton Beaverton and Whitby under central supervision supervision in #5 District. At present, Newcastle is one of three detachments detachments in District #8, Durham. Seven patrol officers, one sergeant sergeant and two civilians are employed employed at the Newcastle station. Their jurisdiction is strictly traffic, monitoring the eastern portion of Hwy. 401 and Hwy. 35/115. Beckett says it may prove more cost effective to operate from a central central location in Whitby, but adds that it is too early to predict the fate of the local station at this point l Reductions in staff may occur (town the road, he admits, and staff are being kept informed of decisions along the way. He noted that the advent of photo radar was not likely to put any officers officers out of work. "Photo Radar is jiist a way to cope with mounting traffic difficulties." J.E.

Three judges will be selected from the Orono, Newcastle and Bowmanville Horticultural Societies and one judge will be chosen from Clarington Community Services Department Department . "The panel of judges will come to view the yard from the street. We won't trespass and we will contact the owner beforehand." The concept of rewarding local gardeners for their efforts has travelled travelled up from the United States, Cameron said. Ontario's Trillium Awards have proven successful in Hamilton, York and Scarborough. "We decided to call ours the Apple Apple Blossom Awards which ties in with Clarington's official municipal flower." Winners in the three Apple Blossom Blossom Awards categories should be announced in September and will each receive a bronze plaque.
