MUST COOPERATE A clear ray of light now shines on the Civic Centre Study. Board of Control in a special meeting decided that they should conâ€" sider the phasing of the study and â€" its related implications, then pass the Board comments on to Council for information and to the Planning Board to do with as they wish. Noting that the revised plan will only provide living accomâ€" modation for 600 seniors comâ€" pared to 900 in the original conâ€" cept, Ward 4 Councillor Paul Godfrey said that 300 of Metro‘s elderiy are going to be denied a place to live. He contended that the Metro site is isolated and too far away from shopping, theatres and libâ€" raries. It should be in the heart and hub of the future city of North York he said. Ward 2 Councillor Joe Gould disagreed. He suggested that "senior citizens are like a big family and are far happier away off on their own." Councillor William Southerland in the proposed civic centre TOO FAR AWAY Metro‘s two year effort to build a home for the aged and n iti ‘ noued o in central North York has finâ€" ally been approved. But even when it became quite clear Monday, that the modified complex is inevitable, several councillors attempted to block it again.

Surely the various | groups of planners of any proâ€" | ject must participate equally in | a study to produce a worthwhile end product. Not so in North York! Board of Control must act as a Committee in judgment of the study, advise Council, for ‘lheir information, and give a copy of their findings to the Planning Board, in case it is ;inf,erested. What is the reason ‘for North York‘s existence? Is it to continue to be a dormitory for the City of Toronto? If so, why bother with a North York Civic Centre? â€" Should North York be planned to be something different â€" a recognizable and somewhat homogeneous entity in the Metro complex, then what is that form? And how will the Civic Centre reflect that North York image? NO ANSWERsS ‘The only bright note he said, was that Metro had retained two good architects to design the complex, and they were doing a *‘fantastic job" within the limiâ€" tations imposed by the township. Even the revised plan was opâ€" posed by the local councilior, Kenneth Lund. He contended that the senior citizens‘ centre would be an intrusion into a single famâ€" ily neighborhood. It is estimated that actual conâ€" struction of the project should begin in five months. He also regretited that the municipality will lose the assessâ€" ment and taxes that the original plan would have yielded. He added thai he felt sorry for the taxpayers in the area beâ€" cause land which would have been used as green space will now be covered with the lowâ€" rise building.
