Street Jet Niagara region subject to the Ontario Hydro preserving the present environment much as and in lieu of the fact that you agree the present station obsolete would you not reconsider its relocation Tbta the third la of articles taken from a planning of Rockwood prepared by three students from the School Landscape Architecture of Toronto there is a conflict of cars in the core area between parked cars stopping for shopping and through traffic th it approaches over the brow of the valley hill from the south This Is exaggerated in Oil inter when snowbanks decrease the street width and in the peak summer months whin traffic volume Increases It is regrettable that the rows of trees were chopped to make way for the four lane high becaubt the village has lost the beauty of the street trees such as can still be seen north of the railway tracks This has been the Department of Highways standard procedure for years now but public outcry in centres like Terra Is making the Department search for better ways to traffic efficiency without sterilizing the town as the four lane road passes through It has left without those great trees and a wide swath of p tli it adds little to Its appearance One of the alternative Solutions that the is considering Is to- bypass a town if its economy t rely on that traffic This could be the Ideal solution for Within the next ten years High way No will be widened to four lanes as a result of projected traffic Increase We recommend tint the village consider asking the Department of Highway to by pass the village yet keeping easy access to the village Is predominantly a rural village and highvolume traffic will cause congestion and a slowdown at the degree corner in the village centre Hie historic character of Is very strong yet the only attention It seems to receive is from private citizens who have on their own Initiative and expense done much restore and refurbish some out standing buildings in particular the Rock wood Academy the stone house next to the Presbyterian Church the StrangePrice farm by the river The mill is living link with history There is much more that could be done not just with buildings but with the land The river valley for is a very strong element cutting through the town and It has historic connections not just with the mills but also becauseitlssoheavilytrced Itremindsone of the vast forest that once covered Ontario and the rock formations ire living remuiders of the glacial and beyond there are visually unsympathetic structures in the valley and land uses that detract so much from what the valley is and mourn The valley divides the village into two separate parts then the rnilwiy lines divide the northern part into two so that the village is made up of three physically divided communities with the m core in the middle part Generally the buildings anil property In the village are In good condition and well looked after but there are some thai arc in a bad state of neglect and these can tend to undermine any sense of community pride that exists The confidence an owner has In the future of his property and the area it is in greatly affects the effort he makes to maintain it Neglect is often in places where there is a public attitude that the area Is in decline or where people feel threatened by expropriation or other changes that they do not relish By contrast where explicit public statements of policy arc made by local authorities a pronounced effect is usually seen in individual efforts facilities seem to be in one sense yet lacking in others Hie ma is used mostly by people from and is crowded hence the vill residents seem reluctant lo use it or to consider it theirs but teen use it frequently for swimming and meeting other teenagers from other places The valley provides a and varied playground for the children and adults is well but what seems is a nark for the and for the teenagers with time on thur hands the Hover House does well but there mixture of teenagers and loo many of them or that one facility fliere is a mixture of people living In the vill those whose families have lived there for generations those who have moved there for the rural way of life and those who have retired to These different people have their own social and f imily circles but even so there Is a healthy mixture of people which can make for a he community If they get together It is interesting to note tint most young people leave at a certain age but often sever years of being away and having experiences they tend to move back to settle down feel that even with the many problems have and have not mentioned the village has so much potential as a place to live in peace with a beautiful natural environment As landscape architects we reidily visuiliic what the village could be like if this potential were considered by more of the residents of the village Continued Next Week Eromoso twp approves new recreation area THE FOURTH LINE
