Council's general purpose committee committee directed the town's planning staff Monday to prepare a study relating to the potential impact of the extension on this municipality. "We should not waste time in taking advantage of it," stated Mayor Garnet Rickard. "We may have to review some of the planning proposals before us, particularly in the Courtice area." "We need to investigate what benefits can be derived from the extension," stated the mayor. "It's one of the best things that has ever happened to this municipality," he said. The province plans to lay out $162 million to bring a computer operated rail service to Oshawa from the existing Pickering GO station. It is expected that the highly technical electric service will be in operation by 1986. Passengers boarding the commuter rail at Oshawa will transfer to Ihe GO train at Pickering. A passenger from the east end of Oshawa should arrive in Union Station in less than an hour using the two services. The rapid transit link is scheduled to run along the south side of Highway Highway 401 and spells a dramatic change in the development forecast for the Town of Newcastle, Oshawa, Whitby and Aiax. The extension east will make Oshawa and Newcastle the easterly end of a metro centered urban area reaching as far west as Hamilton. Turn to Page 2 etf 1 /ill jfiw v'iy-4 bjV V _ fi: (I >' rj ' , Uvj.
