Residents of Pickering are saying "here we go again," as many people near the proposed Letter aia LE P1 landfill site are getting an attack of the NIMBY's (not in my backyard). Lobbyists appeared before Regional Council with many questions and suggestions which may lessen the impact of the proposed GTA develop- ment. Worried residents from the community of Whitevale and the Cherrywood development made their voices heard in the council chambers on Tuesday and Wednesday. They thought that when the airport fight was over, they to the Editor Truck yard undesirable To the Editor: Re. the letter from Bonnie Hudson in last week's Port Perry Star "there should be no objection to the building of La- verne Sutton's trucking yard businessin Ward 4." Obviously, you have not heard both sides of this story. Mr. Sutton's yard may be, as you state, "immaculately groomed and the coming and go- ing of trucks barely noticeable." But if the yard is now too Port Perry changing © (From page 10) driveway will face major problems. I fail to see the need for more tourism. Palmer Park is a shambles after the hordes leave and their garbage stays. My fami- ly likes the park but it's so crowd- ed it seems our tax dollars have id for something we're not at iberty to use. - More tourism will only heighten the terrible parking conditions. The people of View Lake may be around Port Perry looking for a spot to park to grab a bag of milk. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems to me that only the merchants will profit with more tourism. While it's true we can't live in a time capsule it would be nice to keep our small town atmosphere. Oshawa is only twenty minutes 'away. Let them have the traffic 'problems, the air pollution, the noise. I'd like to think that in five years I will be able to say hello to someone I know at the post office rather than nod to a stranger. In closing I would like to men- tion that I feel there is an urgent need for a town planner. Who 'came up with the bright idea to put yet another gas station on the 'corner of 7A and Lilla St.? Cross- ing guards literally take their lives in their hands when they cross kids at that intersection. How much worse is it going to be with more traffic turning in for ? It amazes me (but maybe it uldn't) that a lovely flower was destroyed (the one entrance to the town with no car dealership) for a gas bar.

The area in question (for the new truck yard and resi- dence) is prime agricultural and residential, and does not need such aggravation. The reason, Mrs. Hudson, that you have no objection to the building of a garage and truck yard in this area is that it is be- ing moved away from your area. Yours truly, D. Richards. Ward 4, Scugog Township. NO DOWN PAYMENT were safe from this sort of de- velopment. Now they are upset to find out that they may be the dumpsite for four million tonnes of garbage a year from all over Toronto. Brenda Davies from Cher- rywood said that council was, "selling Pickering down the riv- er for 30 pieces of silver." She asked that they, "do not prostitute themselves with such an association." Maureen Jones of White- vale spoke on the behalf of Friends of Whitevale. Her pri- mary argument was that On- tarians cannot afford the de- struction of anymore prime agricultural land. The P1 site has inappropriate drainage, and would be detrimental to farms around it. Many residents proposed instead that the dump be used for Durham garbage alone, and metro be told to find their own site. Others were appalled at the apparently low $26 million price tag that Metro was offer- ing Durham for the use of these . facilities. They exclaimed that if they are going to allow Toron- to to dump their garbage here, they should at least get a fair price which would enable Dur- - ham to deal with the additional mess and bother. Al Ward of Green River, said that the GTA plan would not provide any incentivefor Metro residents to recycle and reduce their garbage output. He said. "It's only when he is standing in it that he will take it more seriously."
