Council working on parking conditions Roads committee chairman Don Cochrane reported to council Monday moming that preliminary talks have been held with Mr. William Brock about improving the parking condition behind Brock's store. He said that Mr. Brock has no major objections to council using the land to improve the parking, providing there is no cost to him and they establish the property be- longs to the Brock family. The removal of fence-lines and an old garage on the property, - along with grading and gravelling the entire area was discussed. Cost of the project is estimated at about $20,000.00. Mr. Brock will seck legal advise on the proposal before an agree- ment is struck with the Town- ship. Most councillors agree that something must be done to help the conjestion and lack of parking in the downtown. In a related matter, Councillor - Cochrane reported that they can increase the amount of parking on the old arena pad by about 15 spaces with little work. He said the committe has rec- ommended a $7,000 expenditure to extend the pad to the east and north to gain the extra space. Councillor Marilyn Pearce ques- tioned the council spending tax- payers money on parking, when the problem was being created by the business community. "I think we should be getting some help to develop more park- ing from the BIA and the Scugog Chamber of Commerce" she said. Peter Hvidsten, who was a member of the Downtown Mer- chants parking committee ex- Pane that the BIA would proba- ly not become operational for six months to a year, and until then there are no funds available from that group. He also suggested that there was little most of the merchants could do to provide additional parking, and that the problem has not been created by the business communi- ty, but by the tremendous growth of the area over the past few years. The Roads committee recom- mendation will be referred to bud- get discussions. What to do with U-Turn Just what to do at the Queen Street - Water Street intersection came before council again last Monday. The possibility of constructing a proper turning circle at the inter- section was dropped, when Coun- cillor Cochrane reported that it would cost in excess of $50,000 just to relocate the Hydro and Bell Telephone cables in that area. "This is just too big and under- taking", Mr. Cochrane suggested. It was agreed that before any de- cision is made in regards to ban- ning the U-Turn at the intersec- tion, the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Busi- ness Association and the Police would be asked Tor input. Council requested that a formal letter be sent to each of the groups to ask for their opinion and suggested solutions.
