Crs SAP Cd AALAND 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Apr, 5, 1978 letters continued Dear Sirs: Some of the recent letters to the editor along with some of the articles in your news- paper lately, are in one hand serious, but on the other hand; I get into the ridiculus point and some facts I feel should be made clear. There have been several articles lately concerning the snow removal by-law which would help the senior citizens. It seems that everyone is concerned about the senior citizens and the poor side- walk conditions, namely Water Street. "As the owner of the property in question, I would like these dear people to know that it is the snow- plows oh Water Street that plow the snow onto the side- walks, and the sidewalks underneath are not fit to put a snow removal machine on anyway. In fact they are more dangerous in the summertime than they are in the winter. There is no reason that Water Street cannot be treat- ed the same as the main street and have the snow removed from it or it could be plowed so that all the Dear Sir: These days when it is popular to find fault with teachers, I would like to give a word of priase for one who has given his time not only inside the class- room, but also during his winter holiday. In addition to taking 30 young adults to a new coun- try, he introduced them to many facets of the English land and people. The kids were so fired with enthus- iasm, that it has lasted well into the following week. The friendships and the memories that were made in tHose nine days will be with them a lifetime. THANK YOU, MR. PAUL ARCULUS. Sincerely, A grateful parent. Queen Street puddle petition Each Spring an area of Queen Street in front of the- Port Perry IGA becomes a collecting spot for runoff, and IGA manager Jim Grieve along with a 500 name petition, went to Council last week to ask that something be done about the situation. Mr. Grieve complained that a number of his custom- ers has been drenched by water sprayed on them by passing cars, and that his store is a continual mess because of the dirt that washes down in front of the store from the dirt boule- vards. not run into the storm sewers. '"'We feel that two or three inches of asphalt over the area when it gets a little warmer will help to alleviate the situation." Mr. Grieve also made mention of three trees removed last year, one on the north side and two on the south side of Queen St., which were causing a prob- lem with shoppers who con- tinually run over the stumps. "I would appreciate if coun- cil would look into having them removed and put some cold patch over the boule- vard area to help clean up snow goes to the lake side and then the sidewalks could be maintained properly. Another problem street is Lilla Street, where they are widening the road and left little space between the road and sidewalks. When phon- ing to check on this matter, I find that it is not our town rather the Region of Durham that caused this problem, and I was informed that they do not consider it a main thoroughfare and that they only remove snow from downtown Oshawa. I would also point out that it is against the law to shovel the snow from our sidewalks and place the snow back onto the roads. I was also not necessarily surprised at the fact that there has been problems in arranging the location of the new senior citizens apart- ment. But what I am sur- prised at is that no one has come forward on behalf of the senior citizens as to where to locate their apart- ment. There is plenty of good available land right in town within one and two blocks walking distance from all the®Rings the senior citizens need. Such as the lake, the park, and the down- town shopping core. I am surprised ' that the people | who -keep bringing up the snow removal by-law, more 'the senior citizens, sit back and are quite willing to see the senior citizens put.their apartment on the outskirts of our town. To the senior citizens who have had problems walking in front of my properties in the past winter, I here do give my apologies and will assure you that, if the proper authorities stop putting the excess snow onto the side- walks, that we will keep the sidewalks clear of snow. 1 also regret on your behalf that the young generation seems to want your apart- ments outside of town, away from all the things that you yourselves built, which we now enjoy. Thank 'you for your indul- gence during the past winter, I remain, Yours truly, 281532 ONTARIO LIMITED E. Hudson Isherwood, President. schedule: THE.
