Dr. Michael and his associ- afes are now putting the final touches to the iasf draft of the Officiai Plan for Durham, which wiil be submitted for approval f0 regional council lafer this month. While many residents of Bowmanville favor major pla- za deveiopment, Dr. Michael expiained that the region is "Breaking ouf from the ideaof shopping centres." He added that though piazas were an easier alternative to rehabili- tating older shopping areas, fhey wouid cause downtown centres fo die. Ouoting from Discussion Paper No. 4, released in December, centrai areas shouid provide an "integrafed array of shopping, personai and business service, office, instifutional, recreation and residentai uses. They shall function as places of symhn]ic and physicai interest for the residents and as major focal points for entertainment and cultural pursuits..." The coming years should prove whether or nof theorefi- cal plans can he franslated into realify. Four Stages Describing the drafting of an officiai plan as an 'elabor- afe process', Dr. Michael sfated that the final proposal incorporafes various, options "which changing circumsfan- ces may necessifate." Since November 1974, re- gional planners have worked through four stages to arrive af the final draft. Stage one described existing conditions in Durham, and if was f oiiowed by an oufline of goals and objectives. Last Augusf, choices for the future were presented f0 Durham residents in 27 public meetings and information displays, and in December, Discussion Pa- per No. 4 was ready for public feedback.
