i f The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, December 19.1984 School Board Will Not Oppose New Subdivision The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education will not object object to a proposed subdivision subdivision in the Town of Newcastle, although it wants the people moving moving into a new subdivision subdivision there to know there is no school bus servicing the area. Trustees last week looked at the 19-home subdivision planned by Luverme Investments, bordered by Martin Road, Concession St and the Bowmanville Creek. Concern centred on the fact that children attending Bowmanville High School and Central Central Public School would have to walk along Martin Road on the way to and from school. Several trustees trustees voiced concerns about safety, because the road is heavily travelled, including a fair bit of truck traffic. In the proposed sub- divison, any students living in the area would walk on Martin Road either north to Jackman Road or south to Hwy. 2, then east toward toward the schools. It is several kilometres to the schools. However, Bowmanville Bowmanville trustee Donna Fairey said the board should not be "throwing "throwing a lot of roadblocks in the way of development." development." She pointed out that the board, more than one year ago, discussed children walking along Martin Road, and at that time decided it was alright for them to do so. At that time, the board turned down the idea of running buses in to serve the homes now in the area. "I think we're overreacting here." Western Area Superintendent Harry Knapper said this week it will be a few years before before any building starts in the area, and the high-cost type of residences residences planned means it is questionable how many school-age children children future residents will have. "It's a Question mark for the board," he said, although he added the door has been left open for further discussion in years to come. Assistant Business Adminstrator Gord Savage, who prepared a short report for the board recommending no objection be raised to the subdivison, said that under the current transportation policy no school buses will serve the area.
