Dear Councillors; A recent editorial in the Canadian Statesman addressed addressed the public transit service in Newcastle. It mentioned that the Town Council needed to lobby for a speedy extension of the GO Train to east Oshawa. I would certainly agree with this and would like to suggest two important points that Council should add to its lobbying. First of all, that when approval approval is finally granted to extend the GO Train to Oshawa that the station that is built should be accessible accessible to handicapped people. people. I think it is a disgrace that the "old" GO station at Pickering which we used up until December of 1988 was far more accessible to handicapped handicapped people, elderly people people and people with small children or baby strollers than the 3 brand new GO stations built at Pickering. Ajax and Whitby. I would not like to see my tax dollars go towards making that mistake mistake again. The Ontario Government is currently spending time and money to encourage the hiring of disabled disabled people through their employment equity program. program. It does not make much sense to hire them if they cannot use the public transit system to get to their •jobs. Secondly, a little closer to Man Injured After Striking Tree Branch On Snowmobile A snowmobiling accident in the Ganaraska Forest hospitalized a 23-year-old man on March 4. On Saturday, Frank Young was driving a snowmobile snowmobile in the forest when he struck a tree branch, Durham Durham Regional Police report. He was taken to Memorial Memorial Hospital in Bowmanville with major, but not life- threatening, injuries. He was later transferred to Oshawa General Hospital where he was reported to be in satisfactory condition. home, Council should press for Bowmanville to at least have its own GO parking lot. With the recent changes and improvements to service, Bowmanville is supposed to have come "on stream" and joined the full GO system. We now have a couple of extra extra buses during the rush hour and we have late night and Sunday service that we never had before when the GO bus was contracted out. Isn't it about time that people people who need to drive to the GO bus because they live too far away to walk to the bus stop (which takes in most of the population of the Town of Newcastle) should have a place to park? Currently our official "terminus" seems to be at Liberty and Prince according according to tne GO schedule. That is right across from the hospital and I understand that this is creating problems problems for the people who live on Prince St. I sympathize with the people living on Prince St. ana I don't agree with the people who park there all day; but where else can they park? The only other other alternative is the parking lot at the Bowmanville Mail but they should not be expected expected to provide parking that is really the responsibility responsibility of the Provincial Government. Government. I was unable to obtain the statistics, but I suspect that few, if any, towns that have "full" GO service do not have at least one small parking lot for GO riders to use. I understand that Gary Herrema has said that GO Transit MIGHT put a parking parking lot in Bowmanville. That would be great news except that the location concerns me. I would imagine that most of you councillors do not have much occasion to travel on the GO bus between between Oshawa and Bowmanville. Bowmanville. So perhaps you are not aware that (unless there is a major change to the bus route) a GO parking lot near Baseline and Regional Regional Road 57 will only be useful to people taking tne 3 express Duses directly to Wnitby along the 401 in the early morning. The other 22 buses that leave Bowmanville Bowmanville each day - which travel along Highway #2 and serve the majority of the people - do not go anywhere near Baseline and Regional Rond 57. I would like to see a parking parking lot for people using the 3 express buses. My husband, for one, would dearly love to take it. Although we live in Bowmanville he has to drive to Oshawa every day to park and take the GO system into Toronto. This seems a bit ridiculous ridiculous when we're supposed supposed to have GO service in Bowmanville but where can he park? But I suspect that a parking lot for 200 cars at Baseline and Regional Road 57 would be" used by more people from outside Newcastle, Newcastle, such as Port Hope, Co- bourg and Peterborough, than by Newcastle residents. residents. I would like us to be good neighbours but I think we should ensure our own needs are met first So, please, if we are to have a GO parking lot at Regional Regional Roaa 57 and Baseline could you ensure that they alter the bus route of ALL the GO buses. This could be easily done in one of two ways. Either, when approaching approaching Bowmanville the bus could turn right and go south on Regional Road 57 to the parking lot and then return to Highway #2 via Waverley Rd. This would improve service to people in the Waverley Gardens area as well. Or, when approaching approaching Bowmanville tne bus could turn right and go south on Regional Road 57 to the parking lot, continue east along Baseline and go north along Liberty to Prince where the route would continue as it does now. This would save time ns it eliminates doubling back along Highway #2 within a 10 minute time period period as is done currently. People needing to get off in Downtown Bowmanville would get off when the bus comes back west along Highway Highway #2. In the meantime, I see no reason why we have to wait so long for an official parking parking lot. When the parking problem was discovered at the new Whitby station, GO transit leased space temporarily temporarily from Iroquois Arena. While we are waiting for our parking problem to be solved permanently, why couldn't GO transit temporarily temporarily lease parking space at our own new arena or at the Bowmanville Mall? Both parking lots are currently underused during daytime, weekday commuter hours. After the enormous mistakes mistakes made by GO transit at the new stations regarding parking and accessibility 1 don't think that they can be trusted to serve Bowmanville Bowmanville without some guidance. I do hope that you, our Town Council, will take up these issues on behalf of your residents. residents. Sincerely, Ms. Evylin Stroud 89 Little Avenue Bowmanville, Ont.
