Big Expansion Era Seen ' In Harbor Development By Robt. McDougall Times Staff Reporter Oshawa's harbor is on the brink of an unprecented era of expansion. Plans are well underway for future development of the exist- ing port, now almost 100-years old, and definite steps are being taken in the direction of the 184 . acre second marsh where a massive 26 - berth deep sea harbor is contemplated. Extensive harbor improve- ments have been carried out in the past three years and a new 500 feet berth has been completed on the east side of the basin. With the acquisition of 61 acres of land, adjacent and in the immediate vicinity, the port is now capable of handling cargo which it had previously been unable to do. And in order to accommodate the expected increase in cargo and transit freight, site prepar- lane highway and an expanding airport. Harbor manager Wilfred Gil- Iberry points out that there is only one stop during the mile trip to the Macdonald Cartier Freeway where municipalities as far away as Peterborough, King- ston and Beleville can be reached in a short time. The highway can be reached without going through the down- town traffic pattern as in other major ports. James Williams, Oshawa's Business and Indus- trial Develop t , Commissi er, said Jast mont that a Can- adian National Rgpilway spur line is expected toj be installed in the harbor soMmetime this year. It will serve lexisting and future industry in the city's in- dustrial park as well as freight from docked vessels. The industrial anti business development commiss§on and the harbor commission wotk in close THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, February 28, 1967 By this move the harbor will benefit directly and indirectly in many ways. In the first instance it will almost cut - in - half annual dredging costs of the harbor basin since dredged waste ma- terial which previously had to be expensively pumped out into the lake will now be used in the reclaiming operation. Fill from city road recons- truction and excavations will be dumped free into the reclaiming area thereby eliminating truck- ing costs. And when the project is com- pleted (in five or. six years) the reclaimed land should have a commercial value of from 3,000 to 4,000 per acre. ditional eight acres of land, the! existing harbor will be adequate in five years. Therefore they have petition-| ed city council to transfer the/ | wilt overcome any inadequac's: in the existing harbor.
