Street Widening Widening of Church, Centre and John sts., will not be com- pleted this year, council learned last night. A "substantial number" of residents on Church and Centre have objected to the project, said works commissioner Fred Crome. An Ontario Municipal Board hearing, to hear the ob- jections, has been scheduled on Oct. 5. Mr. Crome said widening work will start this year but will not be completed on schedule, He said the contract for the' work has been awarded but that the \delay will not affect the con- \tract price. : He also said Dominion Tire Store has agreed to vacate its building at the corner of Church and Bond sts., on Sept. 15. ¢ Teenagers High-Jinks Protested At Council MO discuss whether portable class-| _.

The revised procedures were drafted Tuesday morning by re- presentatives of council and both school boards. property, foul language and excessive noise Jate at night were complaints drawn to the attention of city council last night from resi- dents bordering Woodview Park. "Sometimes all hell breaks loose,' said Jam Major, spokesman for a group of l4 residents on Cadillac ave., and Damage to Colborne st He said residents are con- tinually pestered: by singing, swearing teenagers--male and female -- often late at night. And he added, lacrosse balls end up in gardens and lawns and boys retrieving. the balls damage property "One party moved away be- cause they angel stomach it any longer,' said Mr. Major. "{ don't think the rest of us should be forced to move." He said police have been call- ed on many occasions but the noise and damage continues. Mayor Lyman Gifford sug- gested that Mr. Major, Police Chief Herbert Flintoff and rec- reation director Wendell Brew- ster-meet with him next week - to try and come up with some answers to the problem Council received and filed the letter on the basis that the mayor hold the meeting he sug- gested, Ald. Christine Thomas said police may be able to patrol the area at nights and frighten away the teenagers. And she suggested a bigh wire fence be erected in a portion of the park where boys could throw a la- crosse ball so it would not end up in private property, Ald, Brady said he believed a city bylaw prohibited anyone from being in a park after 10 or 10.30 p.m. and that presum- ably, persons found in the park after that time could be prose- cuted, ee BOARDS BALKED Main change in the _ proce- dures concerned identical low tenders. Both school boards balked in July when it was sug- gested that council make the final decision on the wnning low tenders. The new procedure calls for the formation of @ committee -- New Co-Op Buying Deal For Boards, Council OK'd one elected representative from each group -- to attend all tender openings and make a final decision to the winning bidder. Committee members will be given power to act by their re- spective groups provided the low bid is acceptable to all mem- bers, If there are identical low bids, each participating group will be consulted by its com- mittee member before the con- tract is awarded. CAN OPT OUT . : Ald. Clifford Pilkey said be- cause the co-op plan is drafted on a voluntary basis, any of the elected bodies will have the oO portunity to opt out at any tim: Officials hope in future the co-op buying scheme will also include the Public Utilities Com- mission, The PUC has already k Hearings | Idea At Council Ald. Donald said some ade- quate procedure to conduct the hearings and listen to interested citizens should be drafted. As precedents for a hearing he cited federal electofal boundary changes and the Metro Toronto Region Transportation Study. In both cases plans have been drafted and hearings scheduled before final decisions are made. The citizens' committee, in its letter, said it was the commit- tee's intent to: --show that a significant num- ber of Oshawa residents feel that the valley should not be used for an expressway; --show that the projected routing will not serve future traffic requirements to best ad- vantage; --and to propose that alterna- tive means will fulfill the de- mands better. The committee said compila- tion of data and information will take time and asked coun- cil to "take no further definitive steps, nor finalize committments elative to the Creek Valley ighway until the citizens' com: mittee's submission has been presented.' Dr, Doherty urged that coun- cil give further consideration to the entire expressway. "The price (loss of valley land) we're paying (to move traffic) is far too high," said Dr. Doherty. He said council should be giv- ing in to its citizens and not to vehicles. He also said council could end up with a "white ele- phant" stretching from Went- worth to Bond if plans to con- struct the southern portion were carried out but a decision was made 'not to proceed with the northern portion. "You're into a $20 million-ex- penditure and you don't. know Where you are going," Dr. Doherty told council. Ald.
