4 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, November 10, 1992 Mayor says better roads are needed in township By Scott Anderson Port Perry Star _ "Build it and they will come" is the message Scugog's mayor has for the regional and provin- cial roads planners. Mayor Howard Hall says with "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice " COMMUNITY CALENDAR way to get to the south." But although the mayor is concerned about providing a north-south link for his commu- nity, he says there is a need for better roads across Durham Re- roads situation in Durham and came up with a number of rec- ommendations. The report discussed the tech- nically-preferred routes for the Pickering/Ajax/Whitby freeway Community Calendar runs each week in the Port Perry Star and Star Marketplace providing space for local non-profit organizations to receive coverage for their important approaching events. Listings in Community Calendar are absolutely Free to any non-profit group.

This report urged the Minis- try of Transportation "to expe- dite the extension of Highway 407 from York Region to the pro- posed freeway link east of the Oshawa/Newcastle/Courtice urban area. It also agreed to oppose initia- tives which precluded the possi- bility of improving the transpor- tation system at the west Durhamboundary. Despite the lack of transpor- tation alternatives, Mayor Hall says Durham has taken strides recently to improve the trans- portation corridors to Toronto. He points to the Taunton- Steeles connection which will provide a continuous link from Durham to Toronto. This should be completed by next fall. Although he says Durham pushed for this link, the region must push harder for similar improvements. He says Durham has "laid gion. And he says the longer the wait, the more it is going to hurt economically. Mayor Hall says the region would attract far more industry if its roads sys- tem was improved. Mayor Hall uses the large Sears warehouse as an exam- ple. He says the company ex- pressed interest in Durham Re- gion, but decided against it citing among its reasons a con- cern over the ability of the roads in the area to handle the in- creased shipping volumes. "Industry is lacking out here and Durham's biggest hold up is the roads system," he says. Mayor Hall, as does other re- gional officials, believes better roads must be constructed in or- der to attract more industry. A July, 1992 report prepared jointly by the Planning and Works Committees studied the the clear message being sent out to the northern communities that train service is out of the question, there needs to be bet- ter roads to handle the 4n- creased traffic. Mayor Hall says it "makes sense" to improve the north- south transportation routes in order to accommodate the hun- dreds of cars heading to the job market in the southern portion of Durham Region and Metro- politan Toronto. "If people in the north work in the south they must be able to get there," he says. Mayor Hall says the popula- tion in areas such as Scugog has burgeoned in the past few years, but the roads have not been able to keep up with the increased numbers. He says now is the time to start doing something aboutit.
