Vic Hendrickson, who lives just north of the Steeles Ave. outlet centre on Eighth Line, said he and his neighbours have had to contend with traffic congestion and un- safe road conditions at times since the mall opened Aug. 1. In an email to Town of Halton Hills CAO David Smith, Hendrickson said during the opening weekend the Eighth Line in front of his home was "reduced to an unsafe road condition because of cars parked on both sides of the road for at least a kilo- meter north of Steeles Ave." He said people were walking to the centre, even pushing baby strollers on the road. Hendrickson said on Saturday, Aug. 5 Eighth Line at Steeles Ave. was closed to traffic for a period of time and he couldn't get to his home. He said the road was closed again on Sunday, Aug. 6 and a po- lice officer there told him the turn lane was closed because drivers wishing to make the turn to access the overflow parking lot or wanting to turn back to the highway had caused a backup on Trafalgar Rd. "The residents of the Eighth Line should not, cannot, must not be denied to turn on to the street on which they live," said Hen- drickson in the email to Smith. Hendrickson has raised those issues to both the Town and Halton Police. On Wednesday, Aug. 7 the Town in- stalled No Parking signs along both sides of Eighth Line north of the mall. Sgt. Stephanie Miloknay, who has been overseeing pay duty Halton Police officers working near the mall, said she wasn't aware of the road closures on Eighth Line and officers who could speak to that were on vacation. Hendrickson has asked Smith why To- ronto Premium Outlets (TPO) has been al- lowed to operate an additional parking lot in a field on the north side of Steeles Ave. on land zoned agricultural that he says would not be a permitted use. He's launched a petition and is circulat- ing it to his neighbours, in the dozen or so homes in the immediate area. By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer No parking signs were erected last week on Eighth Line to help alleviate some of the parking woes area residents have experi- enced due to the popularity of the Toronto Premium Outlets.
