Corridor a Capers We are now into dur'second week of the faîl term and schedules sliould, once again, fail into a systematic routine. There are many important events taking place in the àutumn season that will automatically affect the Corridor Area. September 22nd, at Dr. Robert Thorton School, from 4:00 until 9:00 p.m, there will be a workshop to examine WHITBY1 tiue possibility of severing lots witlîin the Corridor. Although the Ratepayers A 1ssociation attempted to obtain further information on this subject, nothing was available, for the public at our Planning Department. This will affect every landowner within the boundaries of Rossland Road to the north, Whitby-Oshaàwa boun dary to the east and the hydro power Commission to the west. It is, therefore, very important that you make every effort to attend the wo rkshop, to assess just what will be in store for y ou. Bylaw 390-76 should have come before Whitby Council on Monday evening. If our Council, in thcir wisdom, decided to approve this by-law, one land owner within' the Corridor, will be granted the privilege of building semi- detached homes on lots of 30' x 100' in a low density area. 1 simply wonder how our Planning Department could refuse any other landowner, in a low density area the same right. Our Senior citizens and handicapped persons are still waiting for an answer on some formn of transportation. FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER. 15, 1976, PAGE 7 The majority of the residents of WhîW.by did not take advantage 'of *the trial bus sçyjge. The cost of supplying bus service for so few persons would be unrealistic. It appears that Whitby does not have, as yet, sufficient population to support such a venture. We do have, in our Town, at least three taxi companies that could supply the adequate, personal transportation our seniors and handi- capped require. Surely there is some method of utilizing this service at a reduced cost for our most worthy citizens. Bulletin from the President of the Durham West P.C. association.

ITEMS 0F INTER EST: Hopefully. the bad wcather fast Satuîrdav dlid iiot ddversely affect the Boy Scout Paper Drive. Rumour has it that fuiture paper drives depended on the success of last Saturday's effort. 1, for one, would uîot like to sec, them cancelled. First of aIl, the drives give us a chance to get rid of ail tiose old newspapers which otherwise we would have 40o put out in Uic garbage. Secondly, unlike garbage, the oid newspapcrs are recycle'J which benefits us ail. And, thirdly, and pcrhaps miost impoutantly, it gives the Scouts the opportunity to work for the fonds tlîey need, and saves us being hounded for yet another draw or walkathon. i hope wc didn't ict ourseives, and the Scouts, down.

'Fle biglînises have iiy just upciid, and aiire,:îdy tiiis fear is bcing borne onet. Both the~ elc:-iiet tary .clioo)ls servicing our area have needed to achi portable classrooms, the traffic flow around the corner of Jeffrey St. and Hwy. 2 has increased dramatically, and the shopping facilities in the area are becoming more crowded with each passing day. Opposition to the highrises was based, in part, in the apprehension that people had to placing such a concentra- tion of people in such a limited area. But, while the highrise issue was bcing debated, our development was going on almost unnoticed. Townhouses, off Jeffrey St. and on Michael Blvd., brought more people to this littie corner of Whitby, and the.East Lynde homes added more people.4 Future development in our areat promises to bring more people, and more congestion. When the Otter Creek area-is finished, one can imagine with very little difficulty the chiaos that will await when we try to negotiate the turn onto Hwy. 2 from Jeffrey St. And when the second two highrises are built, what effect will be felt in the schools, shops, and on thie roads? The purpose of this littie dissertation is to bring to the f'ore, once again, the dearth of planning that seemns to proceed development in the county town. My dimiensions miay be a little shaky. but, by my figuring, we could concievably have sonie 6,000 people hioused in an area of miaybc 5 Io 7 square tuiles. Lt does appear that proper planning xvas flot part of the consideration that accompan- icd the dcvelopmnent of West -Lynde. East Lynde, Lynde Village or Otter Creek. No planner could find meritin putting one-fourth of the town's population in one- tiftieth of' its space. No -xvay! Bye for now. Sec you in a week's time.
