Page 8 THE HERALD Wednesday March 1I Arts Ideas- Progressive development should not be feared Do you remember the Expressway It was to be called the Allan Expressway after an obscure Toronto politician but the foes of the expressway in on calling it the Spadina Expressway because Spadina Avenue would have been its last and most congested leg before the cars the expressway was meant for hit the lake Then Toronto Roads and Traf fie Commissioner Sam Cass plan the expressway 30 years ago to get the people of waterless North York to Lake Ontario for a swim It was a fabulous ab solutely stupendous design Unfortuiately the very magnitude of the concept enrag ed all those nit picking souls who will always oppose everything that is the least bit unpractical and expensive I sometimes think that all those smallminded creatures who simper about quiet neighborhoods all those en vironmentalists who constantly parade around feeling for planet Earth and jazz like that all those spoil sports and party who crowd into council chambers making growth and development minded councillors feel unappreciated and uncomfortable will do us all in Why dont they go to some other country like Albania for instance instead of fighting everything that is grand and loud and progressive Well I am sorry to get so upset but would you believe it these people stopped the Spadina Ex pressway at Lawrence Avenue and there it sits like a stupid duck uncompleted to this day What a missed opportunity to br ing the modern age to Torontos sleepy neighborhoods These people could have had the roar of a million cars at their doorsteps but no they refused to embrace what Is most beautiful today speed noise pollution Now we are given another chance at least here in Georgetown Our planning good news for us Think of a fairly wide garden hose To that first hose you con nect another one less wide and to that one a third even nar rower Now you turn on the tap and what do you get A terrific stream of water that pretty well pushes everything out of its way Apply this principle to a road Say the Line at Sideroad Lets turn the Line from Ashgrove Sideroad to Stewarttown Sideroad into a four lane highway to make room for all those cars from the new town that is growing to the south of Georgetown From Stewarttown ADULT CLASS Small Engine and Auto Maintenance Do You Have Time on Your Hands Are

March 1991 R C Austin Eng Town Engineer The Corporation of the Town of Halton Hills Hills Drive P Box Halton Georgetown Ontario S62 Sideroad to Maple Avenue the 8th Line narrows to two lanes the traffic thickens and eventually shoots across Maple Avenue into poor old Georgetown Main Street with a force that will make the bricks fly Boy that will shake up the mouldy old place Those cars will want to connect as fast as possible with the other big traffic artery in town Guelph Street and those cute trees ben ches lanterns and silk flowers will have to be moved out of the way quick Come to think of it we might as well redesign Main Street on snappier lines Office buildings maybe set back from the roadway and only 10 to floors high in order to avoid high rise I was given to understand that everything below floors is considered low rise in our town To combine the two rivers of traffic on the corner of Main and Guelph we will need a of royal proportions but thanks to our religious ancestors we can demolish two churches United and Baptist for this purpose I want to live long enough to see these wonders with my own eyes I had an inspiration lately Our future as a speaes is obviously in mobility Why should we have permanent homes at all Much better to be always on the move with everything we have got in the way of possessions In cars large enough to be born in to live in them and to die in them Oh glorious future when all available space will be devoted to roads I To be nomads again but on a much higher plane of course To drive for a whole lifetime and never have to come to rest What bliss We could wave to each other and talk to each other over the car phone No more direct contact No need for deodorant Okay my imagination is runn ing away with me For the mo ment only the Main Street Ex pressway is proposed by the plan ners If approved it might lead to great things It might make Georgetown a city to be reckoned with Lets hope the opposition is sleeping Looking
