Cali LL At proposed Conway Place development Traffic safety main concern for councillors The spirit of the upcoming Winter Olympic Games was everywhere last Tuesday when the Durham Torch was passed to every school in Scugog Township.

No stopping signs for R.H. Cornish Scugog Council has authorized the roads depart- ment to erect signs in the vicinity of R.H. Cornish Pub- lic School as-soon as possible to help ease the preblem of cars parking along the street while school is being let out. Last week council was petitioned by an area resi- dent saying that the situation not only causes an incon- venience to people living in the area, but it is also has become dangerous. Recognizing the problem as a potentially serious one, council has authorized the posting of "No Stop- ping" signs to be installed as soon as possible. The signs will be placed along the north side of "Queen Street, across from the school. Council also asked that a letter be sent to the school informing them of their decision, and asking that the area in the turn- ing circle in front of the school be left open for parents picking up their children. . How to ensure that cars and peo- ple can safely get in and out of a ma- jor shopping' mall proposed for Highway 7A in Port Perry was the main concern expressed by Scugog Township councillors Monday 'mor- ning as they met for nearly two hours with planning consultant John McDermott. Mr. McDermott agreed that traf- fic flows into the Conway Develop- ment on the north side of Highway 7A is a major concern the council will have to sort out before the pro- posal gets any kind of formal agree- ment from the municipality.

The second component of the development calls for a 100 unit seniors apartment building and four condominium buildings totalling 90 units to be constructed closer to the lake on the north half of the ten acre property. Tuesday, February 2, 1988 During the discussion Monday morning about potential traffic pro- blems, area councillor Harvey Graham said congestion along Highway 7A east of Water Street is already a problem. Other members of council agreed that the safe flow of traffic must be a priority that the planning consultants and developer should sort out. One access into the plaza will be via Highway 7A at the location where traffic now enters and exits the mall on the south side of the highway.

The popular 27 year old was one. of four Canadian Armed Forces of- ficers killed last Thursday in a helicopter crash near Timmins, Ontario. Details of the accident are sket- chy, but the helicopter, a CH-135 Twin Huey, crashed during a four- hour training flight from its base at Petawawa to the Kapuskasing area.
