On Wednesday, Mr. and Mrs. Art The elected councillors of the Town of Newcastle have given the green light and the Town's Department Department of Public Works is prepared to stamp "Paid" some time next year to "a past legacy of the lack of planning" in one small part of Courticc. Phaif Avenue, which runs west- cast a block south of Highway 2 from Prcstonvalc Rd. towards Sandringham Drive, will remain officially closed to through vehicular traffic. It all began this way, as disclosed publicly several weeks ago by a former former member of the Town Council: "In the late 1970's the Town, through its officers of that time, of which I was one, made commitments to those residents of Courticc that future future development would not- be allowed allowed to cause any negative impact. This is why Phair Avcniic, which then was a quiet, safe, rural dead-end street, has not been opened up to through traffic." The disclosure by Ann Cowman maintained that the "estimated cost to taxpayers to improve the street to accept accept through traffic is $250,000. This improvement would likely include a sewer pipe." She concluded that If Town authorities authorities "want to proceed to open the street to through traffic then the Town, in my opinion, should invest- age the injurious effect on the Phair Avenue residents and negotiate a fair settlement." The disclosure followed a public expression by the residents of Phair Avenue to Town authorities that they preferred their street remain inaccessible inaccessible to through traffic. Later, the Town Council decided to grant residents of the short - about one-third of a kilometre in length - street their wish apparently out of financial financial concern. Frank Wu, director of the Town's Department of Planning and Development, Development, told an interviewer last \ week that "even today town planners face many peculiar problems and this (Phair Avenue) problem is really a past legacy of the lack of planning...how planning...how to incorporate as part of neighbourhood." Mr. Wu, who has headed the department department since four and one-half years ago, said he believes the town plan- ' ncr should be "someone who has foresight foresight in planning...will take into consideration consideration any peculiar problems." He said there was only one town planner in 1974 and the Town had no local planning department than. Durham Regional was created before before 1974. Also last week, Walter Evans, director director of the Town's Department of Public Works, said his department will put up "some kind of permanent barrier" between Phair Avenue and Sandringham Drive next year. Asked whether it would be costly, Mr. Evans said: "Not terribly expensive. Depends on how we design it; There'll be pedestrian pedestrian access to Sandringham Drive." He also disclosed that when the sub-division which includes Phair Avenue Avenue was being developed, the Town had a "one-foot reserve" as a precautionary precautionary measure to prevent private construction of a driveway in non- designated areas. "The one-foot reserve still exists today and legally on one has the right to go over it," Mr. Evans said. "In other words, we can deny public public access." On the matter of the absence of centre/dividing line on some main arteries arteries in Courticc - such as Trulls, Pre- stonvalc, Glenabbey, Nash and Ccn- trefield - the public works honcho said his department has "warrants as to where to paint" the line. He said "it won't be in the foreseeable foreseeable future" that any centre/dividing line would appear on any of these Courticc arteries. The crux of the matter is dollars and cents, of course. A Courticean charged with the duty of selecting a consultant for . Courticc Community Complex Fund- raising Committee said that some time . this week she would invite request for proposals from consultants spccializ- . ing in fund-raising. "I have five consultants so far," ■ Muriel Krizanc of Nash Rd. told atV' interviewer last week. "I plan.to nail down one more." All the consultants in questions arc from Ontario with one from "as far., away as Guelph." "They arc all people working in r " the area of fund-raising," said Mrs: , Krizanc. . •' Earlier last month, Mrs. Krizanc was informed by Gordon Mills, MPP, ■ Durham East, she was selected to receive receive The Commemorative Medal for ; the 125th Anniversary of the Confed- ' eration of Canada. Mr. Mills, in his letter to Mrs. Kri- , zanc, wrote that The Queen "has ap-. - proved the strinking" of the medal,. "intended to honour persons who have . made a significant contribution to their fellow citizens, their community' or Canada."
