Crono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 7, 200 i ;> Mïi9Kt§êÈm AND HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO VISIT HIM. Taunton (continued from page 1) in that area," Chartier told an Orono Times reporter after his presentation. "Travel demands in the area are covered covered by the Rossland Road extension to Pebblestone. Plus, if the 407 were to proceed," proceed," stated Chartier, "it would alleviate some if not all of the pressure." If the 407 wasn't to be continued continued east of the Courtice 401 link, and if there was a high level of growth in north Clarington, Taunton Road would have to be re-looked at, Chartier told councillors. Councillor Schell wanted to see a break down of how Transportation Plan's $438 million price tag will be spent over the next 20 years. This price includes the cost for rehabilitation, reconstruction and replacement of roads and bridges, expansion, grade separations, separations, intersection and corridor corridor improvements of regional regional roads. It also includes Highway 401 interchanges. The plan does not provide an estimate of each municipality's municipality's share of the cost to implement implement the plan. "I would like to see in the next report how the $438 million is broken down," Schell stated. "We pay 11% [of the Regional levy], it would be nice to see what Clarington is getting out of that, to see if we're subsidizing other parts of the Region." Another deficiency indicated indicated by staff was that the future site of the Bowmanville GO station was not identified. Staff says it is important that this station be identified in the Master Plan in order to secure lands. Lands behind the Bowmanville Canadian Tire Store have been earmarked for a future GO Station. The Plan seeks to reduce automobile dependency by up to 15% by the year 2021. Also recommended in the Plan is a Regional Cycle network network connecting municipalities. municipalities. Bicycle routes would include traditional bicycle paths with year round maintenance, maintenance, on street bicycle lands, boulevard paths, and paved shoulders on Regional Roads. Increased use of transit and the establishment of an interconnected interconnected regional transit system system was recommended in the Plan as well. In general, staff felt the Plan was unclear on how binding binding many of the non-specific recommendations would be on local municipalities, or if Clarington will effectively be forced to implement the recommended recommended items Arena (continued from page 1 ) and outgoing hockey players with bags, sticks and who clutter clutter up the lobby while waiting for the dressing rooms to be vacated. The Board would also like to close the Caroline St. entranceway to motorized vehicles. Cars park on both sides of the street, and the driveway, creating a safety hazard, says Lee. "Once that is alleviated, people will be forced to use the Edward Street parking lot," says Lee. Currently the parking lot is seldom used. , The interest free loan of $300,000 is to be paid back over the next seven years, with the first payment due on December 31, 2002. , In order to meet their financial financial commitments the Arena Board has agreed to begin a fundraising campaign and raise their rates. Currently the ice fees at the Newcastle Memorial Arena, at $88 per hour for youth groups and $100 for adults, are the lowest in the Municipality. Orono charges $115 per hour for adult groups while the Garnet Rickard Complex in Bowmanville charges adult groups $135 per hour. Rates will be brought in line with other facilities for next year's season. Councillors applauded the efforts made by the Newcastle Arena Board to improve that sporting facility. Councillor McArthur went as far as to say, "It seems in the eastern end of the municipality, our community people actually get up and raise funds for the community." community." When council ratifies their decision to go ahead with the renovations at next Monday's council meeting, staff will immediately initiate the project, project, which they anticipate will be completed by September 2002.
