Councillior Dave Lacey says Etobicoke will get $1,000,000 in tax revenue from the Sherâ€" way shopping centre. Here is a question for taxpayâ€" result of the recent Etobicoke Planning Board hearing appears as just a battle between the inâ€" terests of a proposed 102 store shopping plaza and other plaza owners with a few lone merâ€" chants thrown in for spice.

It is a pity that Mr. Goudge does not speak for all Planning Board members. Last w eek Reeve MacBeth and W. W. Roâ€" bertson put forward a resolution approving the proposed road system in the area Sherway wants rezoned. Councillor Dave Lacey said he was all for Sherâ€" way. Getting back to roads again, George Barton, traffic consultant for the proâ€"Sherway group, notes that the plaza operation would be based on a fiveâ€"night week, and some new . intersections would have to be developed on Highway 27 and the Queensway. REPORT SHORT Mr. Barton is extremely capaâ€" ble in his field. However, he left out: the traffic impact on secondary and tertiary roads; traffic using an extended Queensway if there is no Sherâ€" way; traffic assignments based on an increasing population; expansion of Sherway up to 1.2 million square feet. "It was concluded" the enginâ€" eer‘s report reads, "that the level of land development in the Sherâ€" way area could be supported and made possible by a network of roads." Sherway Centre will go in. Chairman A. R. Goudge says the board has to wait until Etoâ€" bicoke planning staff members digest the evidence from the hearing and make a report to the board which would be weighed and either accepted or rejected leaving the board to make up its own mind. appalling is the fact that alâ€"; Mr. Barton merely said the though the Planning Board|fiveâ€"night operation s preads should make its decision on the peaks of traffic, but he did not evidence before it, some Planning quantify how they were spread.

Lbs. $ .00 Mr. Smith‘s statement is genâ€" eral, without much meaning. The Planning Board would probably read the report of Mr. Barton with some measure of confidence of its accuracy, but the report does not delve into the problems deeply enough. Larry Smith, an economist, said Sherway "May be expected to contribute materially to the successful solution of problems involved in the long range planâ€" ning of Toronto‘s western subâ€" urbs." An interesting question â€" is: How does it help Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch, Toronto Township, Swansea and Etobiâ€" coke, particularly in light of traffic complications expressed in the report? And economically? As a result of correlating these facts into a report Grant Bacâ€" chus, traffic consultant for the antiâ€" Sherway group writes: "Since high capacity access to Sherway from the .expressway system appears to be physically impossible, which will probably result in overioading of the seâ€" condary road system then . it must be concluded that a road system cannot be adequately provided to serve the Sherway." The aforementioned represent the gravest of deficiencies. At the hearing Mr. Bacchus said he felt the figures given by his opâ€" ponent were misleading and he has pointed out many things which were omitted. Unfortunâ€" ately there is not enough room here to list all of them. # ’s * “;_.m" f & .&k Fy 2. e setih ¢ .. * XF C hN?.: J SALAMI CHUBS ........... c COLD CUTS.............. TASTY VEAL CHOPS ...

Therefore taxâ€" ation would be transferred to the homeowner. Stores would be forced into closure. Finally, and this is only hypothetical, one would end up with practically one place to shop. People would have" to fight traffic whereas previously they could just walk to nearby stores. GHOST TOWN Suppose New Toronto became a ghost town area. Property value would drop. If the charâ€" acter of stores changed and they became secondary stores, ie. siâ€" ilar to those along west Queen St. in Toronto; it would spill off into the residential area. There are other less dramatic arguments, but all equally imâ€" portant, such as the fiveâ€"nigntâ€" week proposition. SOCIAL CHANGE This weuld represent a vast social change.

However, it is up to authoritaâ€" tive bodies to make the final deâ€" cision, Of course it should not be forâ€" gotten that a previous Etobicoke Planning Board stopped Piggot Construction from building a shopping plaza just up Highway 27 from the proposed Sherway plaza two years ago. Industry on the property would guarantee Etobicoke tax revenue but a plaza would not, since it would steal business from existing businesses, thereâ€" fore depriving the township of revenue. Ontario has given municipalâ€" ities the right to limit the numâ€" ber of poolrooms and service stations. Why should it not give them the right to limit shopping plazas? Free enterprise is becoming a myth.
