"You get a lot of "yes" answers, or a "not settled yet" answers, but when you see a copy of the Region's minutes, they tell another story." "We've simply lost our steam," she said. Mrs. Muir shares the opin- ion of most of the others, that the information centre will be set up shortly before the work starts. She's tried to get information on justy when the centre will be set up, but hasn't been able to get an answer. "This isn't just a concern of the Lilla Street residents," said Mrs. Muir. "It is a community concern as it will affect everyone." With an unusually high maintenance demand and a substandard design cross- section, Lilla Street was identified in 1969 as requir- ing immediate recon- struction. Two 11-foot traffic lanes and two 10-foot parking. "lanes were initially recom- mended and approved by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, but opposition to the proposal by local citizens resulted in the downgrading of require- ments to a _32-foot cross section comprising of two 11 'foot through-lanes and one 10-foot parking lane. Local residents' opposition hasn't changed, however. They feel that dropping back a lane would still create a physical barrier and effec- tively split the Village in two. Increased traffic volumes and loss of trees were also major concerns of citizens in the immediate area. The revised cross-section, allowing for a fourth lane on the west side if required, meets the minimum stand- ard recommended by the M.T.C., states a works department report, and has been approved by the ministry. Local residents. have back----- ed up their opposition by submitted proposals of their own, but the region claims the most recent proposal by the Port Perry residents has a greater adverse effect than does the Region's 32-foot scheme. Their proposal, two 14-foot through , lanes with paved reverse shoulders for park- ing, results in a total pave- ment cross-section of 48 feet hwo FRIENDLY ~ PHILOSOPHER: | MURRMGE Is 4006S LIFE WHEN HE STARTS BARKING WAGG BROS.

In reference to a suggestion that a by-pass of Port Perry be provided should the need arise, the report states that a Route Feasibility Study has been completed to 'evaluate the relative merits of providing alternate facil- ities, But based on the study and information from M.T.C. officials, the works depart- ment concludes that the pro- visions of a by-pass of Port Perry is not an economic substitute for the proposed improvement of Lilla Street, and would not likely be elig- ible for an M.T.C. subsidy.

SEE BILL & GREG - The North American Sidecar reconstruction of Lilla Street to an urban cross- section of 32-feet with two traffic lanes 11-feet wide and one parking lane 10-feet wide, will provide a satisfac- tory level of service until just beyond 1985. The Route Feasibility Study reveals as follows: Traffic Data: Traffic counts taken in 1974 show "traffic. volumes (Annual Average Daily Traffic) on Lilla Street as follows: Loc- ation i - immediately south of Regional Road 8 - 3,610 vehicles per day (v.p.d.). - Location ii - 2.1 miles north of Highway 7A - 2,780 vehic- les per day .(v.p.d.). Based on a 40 m.p.h. design, speed and traffic volumes of 2,000 to 4,000 v.p.d. M.T.C. stand- ards recommend a roadway width of 32 feet. Anticipated growth factors show growths of 1.9 and 3.5 times present conditions for the 10 and 20 year planning periods respectively. Apply- ing these factors - to the aboye volumes yeild, in 1985 at Location i - 6,859 v.p.d. and at Location ii -.5,282 v.p.d. is estimated. "And in 1995, at Location i - 12,635 v.p.d., Location ii - 9,730 v.p.d.,, are the. esti- mates. The theoretical capacity for a desirable level of ser- vice (level C) on a 2-lane urban road is about 8,000 vehicles per day (v.p.d.).
