Roads in the Baby Point area of the borough are "shocking" according 'to Dr. H.H. Marty, Halford Avenue. Metropolitan executive committee recommended that Metro negotiate for the remaining lands in private ownership on the north side of E glinton Avenue West between Royal York Road and Islington Avenue in order to form an important link in the establishment of a transportation corridor through northern Etobicoke. In the area between Royal York Road and Martingrove Road a total of 41 acres has already beep acquired and lands from Martingrove to Highway 427 are already under ownership of the province. Metro planners see the Eglinton corridor extending west from the Humber River and Scarlett Road as forming a possible com- bine vehicle and rapid transit route with the rapid transit portion serving Toronto's international airport at Malton. TIC officials in their long term planning have considered the eventual need for an east-west subway line along Eglinton Avenue that would serve three boroughs at the same time including York. Metropolitan chairman Ab Campbell said he didn't see that the transportation corridor would be It's only money The winner Weston-York Times Rapid Transif artery "The Humbercrest-Baby Point area carries the highest assessments and taxation of anywhere in the municipality of York," continued Dr. Varty. "I think that the astronomical level to which taxation has now been reached in this Borough, that something better should be provided for the residents."

The possibility that an air cushion type public tran- sportation service, at least to the airport from west of the Humber, is being examined as part of a long range view of Metro's transportation needs.

Only eight replies were received. Twenty-one letters were No response THURSDAY, JULY t3, I972 The three-part questionnaire asked that Avon Avenue be terminated at McCormack Street by means of a physical barrier. That a oneway south- bound traffic regulation be introduced on the entire length of Lapp Street. And that a one-hour parking 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., restriction be implemented on Lapp Street to coincide with the existing semi. monthly alternate side parking regulation. Non-replfes to questionnaires indicate opposition to suggestions, _ A _ mailed on Lapp Street with six replies. Northlands Avenue received 88 letters with six replies. A "On one or two occasions, the street on which I reside has been sprayed with a mixture of a consistency of ground-up corn flakes and water or oil and is about as ef- fective in providing a roadway as the latter would be," concluded the letter. Dr. Varty maintains that as a general practitioner he drives all over the City of Toronto from Bathurst, west and into the Borough of Etobicoke to Highway 27. He states that this driving has given him ample knowledge of road conditions in other areas. “I think every cursory examination d the roadways in the Baby Point area and notably the lower end of Humbererest Boulevard, Humberview Road and Halford Avenue, particularly, the_lower end, will reveal a situation which is schocking to say the least," said Dr. Varty. il Elabeled successful - ' I. A.“ '33‘3W The controversial sidewalk - plowing was termed a "gtteceaa" by conuniasioner of morkaColinMacdona1dinttiareportto council last week on - plowing operations thtring last winter. The report trom Mr. Macdonald came " somewhat of a surprise " he had con- tinually submitted negative reports during the summer and winter of 1970 and 1971 when council questioned the feasibility of implementing a sidewalk - clearing program Controversy over the pros and cons at sidewalk - shovelllng began in the fall oi WN. The problem was handed from department to department, continually returning to council with Mr. Macdonaid recommendations against such a program But in December of 1970, ignoring strong efforts from Controller Douglas Saunders to have snow removed from all the sidewalks in York, council did recommend a nineteen mile test area. Sidewalks were cleaned on streets north of Eglinton Avenue between Croham Road and Lyon Avenue. A couple of outspoken members of council submitted their opinions on snowplowing at that time. Alderman Gordon Keyes thought it would be "a great election gimmick," and Alderman Lloyd Sainsbury thought "plowing sidewalks is the stupidest thing you can do." But in the spring of 1971 many com. pliments were received from residents in the teat area. And by August 1971 mud! felt that the nineteen mile an area could not submit conclusive reports on the success of clearing the entire borough. They decided the problem could only be solved by at. tempting to clear the entire borough. More reports were submitted and Con- troller Saunders and Mr. Macdonald again came to different opinions on the subject of snow plowing. Mr/Saunders charged Mr. Macdonald with "giving us the gears," after reading what he termed "a very negative report." Mr. Saunders informed council at that time that he felt they were discriminating by choosing a test area. "It should be the whole borough," he maintained. "We should give our citizens a service they can't get in the City of Toronto." These statements brought out immediate response from Mr. Macdonald, who maintained that skilled drivers would not prevent damage to parked cars and property. "I won't be able to do a job I am proud of," he said. o-m-ems-Ao aye-54 1ree'tyyry st- a, we "Mr' - u - eesmerohuttaaot.Otreei. ltw'thnu "itiiiiVika. *’ a :mmanuhuamavutmtmnunwmâ€"a 'glllr.'tl'llG'1'l'dft'l-'.'frr41ll "rdior-dyRipahettl?rr .
