Using a budget of $25,000 for each of the years 1978 and 1979, the Bowmanville Central Business District Improve- ment Area Board of Manage- ment has already installed trees and decorative lighting. It is expected that flower planters, benches and garbage receptables will be provided soon. Although these "extras" have added the finishing touch to the Bowmanville front street, there are indications that the work of the Downtown Business Improvement Area's Board of Management is not over yet. While the next step in the plan to improve the downtown core has not been firmly decided, parking and the promotion and advertising of downtown businesses will probably be two key issues in the future. At a meeting of the down- town business persons held at the Flying Dutchman Motor Inn oq, Monday, July 16, some of the future plans for the downtown were discussed and progress during the past two years was reviewed. About 50 considered a "sport" dive. It has been attempted on two previous occasions but has never been successfully completed. It is estimated that David will be in the water 30 to 40 hours. This, in terms of exposure, is equal to 20 days of 35 degree (F) weather without the aid of clothing or shelter. persons attended the meeting. "Parking is probably our next priority," said AI Strike, a member of the Board of Management. He added that along with parking, the promotion of the downtown will also be a key concern in the future. Mr. Strike noted that the board has already considered some parking matters. In fact, the group recommended that parking meters operate only between the hours of nine a.m. and six p.m. However, this suggestion was not adopted by town council. Mr. Strike suggested that input, from the merchants on the topie of parking would be welcome. The guest speaker of the evening, AI Jackson, chair- man of the Dundas Downtown Business Improvement Area, seemed to reinforce the idea that parking is a key issue. Speaking from the experiences in Dundas, near the City of Hamilton, he said that the merchants' plans call for parking areas to be created behind the businesses on the main street. The overall plan for downtown Dundas would eventually remove all front street parking, creating two lanes of traffic and wider sidewalks. Through traffic would be re-routed through a by-pass. Mr. Jackson noted that the development of parking is going to cost $400,000 to $450,000. And the total cost of re-developing the Dundas business improvement area has been estimated at one million dollars. As part of the financing, he Improvement Area Board of Management said preserving the downtown is important from a psychological point of view as well as a business viewpoint. He said that a thriving downtown benefits everyone and not just the business people. In his closing remarks, he noted that if the downtown fails, the town loses its sense of identity.
