AI- though the school is only seven miles away, they have to travel the entire bus route, he said.

New lights are planned Two new sets of traffic lights will be installed in Whitbythis, year ýaid one existing set will be improved Council bas passed a by- iaw to instail lights at the Dundas and Garden-Blair in- tersection, and the intersec- tion of Brock and Dunlop Streets.

SThe total cost oM the work is $59,00, of whicb $52,500 will be paid by the Ministry Mf Transportatio and Comn- munlcatons amc $6500 by the Townof Whltby. closing The parents feil that added transportation and other costs will eliminate any savings made by closing, the schooi. The board says there are more facilities such as a gym and library at St. Paul's but the parents are not im- pressed by this, said Mr. Dimitroff . A financial impact study for Brooklin's development bas beeh delayed for one year, but at a public meeting last, Wednesday, Brooklin residents asked council's administrative committee to approve a growth plan with- out waiting for the study. The residents say they are concerned about inadequate sewage facilities and delays . n approval of development "plans that would increase Brooklin's population Up to six times its present size. »They urged the committee to consider a final land use pl an and housing mix with- out further delay. A study of the cost of growth from the present 1,800 residents to as many as 11,800 would follow. Roger Smith, a Brooklin resident since 1973 said fi- nancial studies by two con- sultantsindicate there wouild be littie impact on taxpayers from extension of water and sewer services to the hamiet. He expressed concern about over-taxed septic tanks and stench in the creek at Cassels Road. Rick Bagg, another Brook- lin resident, reminded those at the meeting that Consoli- dated Building Corporation had offered to pay $4 million toward the* initial cost of building sewers and water- mains to Brooklin. He ex- pressed concern that Whitby might lose this offer if there are futher delays. North Ward Councilior Bob Carson told the meeting that residents have put off costiy repairs to their sew- age systems while they wait for a decision on the expan- sion of the community. "I can show you at least a dozen areas where people have sewage in their base- ments," he said. Councillor Carson 's ai4I also that he was baffled that OBO is proposing a lower housing density for Brooklin than the town's consultants have recommended. A consultant's report calîs for construction of 62 per cent single family homes, 10 per cent semi-detached and 28 per cent two-storey garden apartmenits. An alternative plan advocated by the Town of Whitby would increase the number of single family and semi-de- tached homes and reduce the number of apartments by 16 per cent. Somer Rumm, vice-presi- dent of land development for CBC, said his company wants 76 per cent of the uni *ts to be single family, and reduce the apartments to 12 per cent. Studies are show- îng a trend away from apart- ment living in Ontario, he said. Mr. Rumm confirmed that CBC bas offered to pay for sanitary sewers on existing streets, but he wants an additional 200 acres of land on the western boundary of Brooklin earmarked for future housing development. The addition of 98 acres at Brooklin for industrial development, in a consul- tant's report, pleased Don Cole, vice-president of Mark- borough Properties, which bas plans for industrial de- velopment in the area. Mr. Cole, however, sug- gested that the proposed in- dustrial park be moved from Thickson Road and the 7th concession south to Win- chester Road.
