Richards A plaza to be built on the north- side of King Street, between the Olympia Restaurant and James Insurance, Insurance, in Bowmanville, has received the rezoning it needs. However, not without protests from a local banking establishment Neil Smiley noted his client, the Toronto Dominion Bank, located on Temperance Street, is "prodevelopment." "prodevelopment." However, the bank's management management is concerned with an access issue. issue. Smiley said the right of way ac cess Brock's Gas Station formerly had over the laneway between the bank and a dry-cleaning business was not meant as a primary exit. If the plaza were to proceed, the laneway would become the plaza's only exit because the plaza would not be permitted an exit to King Street. Only the entrance would be allowed on the main street. It is, however, the main entrance and exit from the bank's parking lot behind the bank. Smiley wondered out loud during his presentation if the safety of the bank's clientele has been considered. considered.

"What we're talking about is a private right-of-way being used as a primary egress," Smiley noted to the members of the Clarington Planning Committee. He continued by saying the situation situation that is occurring now probably wasn't looked at years ago when the right-of-way was first contemplated. Within a report on the rezoning of the property, the access issue is discussed. It is noted that two meetings meetings were held with representatives of the TD bank, the CIBC bank, the applicant and the Bowmanville BIA. It was hoped by municipal staff that an improved traffic flow arrangement arrangement could come from the meeting. "Unfortunately, staff were unable to convince the representatives of the TD bank of the merits of an improved improved parking and traffic network," the report stales. Since the issue of access was not on the agenda, as was the re-zoning of the property, committee members passed the Planning Department's report and council will vote on the re-zoning at Monday night's, OcL 24, meeting.
