a TA ar fe 2 Di A BO Lt et ston » ; : BR mt 2 Lp PAY hit About 45 people turned out at Monday night's council meeting to hear a presentation by two men opposed to the widening of Lilla Street. Dave Muir and Fleming Galberg, both Lilla Street residents, outlined reasons for their opposition R. MacDonald suggests (continued used as a bypass route for Port Perry. This road is part of the old Ontario county by-pass plan, he said. If signs were put up near the Swamp Garage, the general public could become more aware of this route and it could help to relieve problems in Manchester, he said. Regional Road 23 ties into Regional Road 8 and Road 23 will eventually go right through to Highway 401, Mr. MacDonald said. If the cottage traffic was told about these alternative routes, it might relieve a lot of traffic problems on Lilla Street, he said. But the Roads Superinten- dent stressed that Lilla Street must be reconstructed because of the need to put in new storm sewers and side- walks. Once the sewers on Lilla are straightened out, the township can start working on drainage problems on the many sireets that cross Lilla. Mr. ! .acDonald said that most of the trees on Lilla Street are old and will have to be cut down soon anyhow. He said that if council want- ed. the 12-foot slanted shoulder for parking could be reduced to eight feet and trees could be planted in that four feet. Earlier in the evening, Mr. Muir, a Lilla Street resident, told council that residents of Lilla did not want anything more than a two-lane road and that they did not want a stop light at Queen Street and Lilla Street. Mr. Muir also said resid- ents did not want to lose the trees on Lilla Street. He pointed out that a new system of storm sewers could be built under a two lane road as well as a three-lane road. "Lilla Street is heavily residential and we don't need another lane for commercial parking," Mr. Muir said. "And a parking lane can be more dangerous with child- Over 30 different styles of panels in stock with many more samples to choose from All panels 4ft. x 8ft. sheets Prices start as low *3%0 Cash & carry 'HOME BUILDING CENTRE HWY. 7A AT THE LAKE PORTPERRY ONT. 985-7335 * presentation.

Lilla Street is designed to take 1,500 cars per hour and latest traffic counts show only about 2,500 cars a day, he pointed out. When questioned, Mayor Lawrence Malcolm said council was still on record as supporting a two-lane plan for Lilla Street. Mr. Galberg, an engineer, said it doesn't make sense to have a three-land road. He said it should either be two or four and that only two lanes were needed. When questioned, Coun. Don Frew said that he supported the two-lane idea initially but that he thought a third land might be needed in case somebody gels a flat tire. Coun. Beb Brinkman said he would like to see an elevated parking lane on Lilla Street. He said this was also needed for Queen Street. Coun. Bob Kenny said that although he had supported a two-land Lilla Street before, he was not sure that he would support it now if a vote was taken. - Coun. Jerry Taylor said that he had supported the motion for two lanes before and he still did. Coun. Reg Rose, who has voled against the proposed widening at regional council, said it was important to consider an alternative route past Port Perry before it was' too late. now | Sunday callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Munro and Mrs. F.
