WIIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1985, PAGE 9 !t'll be ready Toroni The Toronto firm Beinhaker/Irwin Assoc- iations has been awar- ded a contract by the GO Transit board of directors to supervise the construction of the new Whitby GO station at the bottom of Henry St. on the south side of Hwy. 401. According to Durham Regional Chairman Gary Herrema, a mem- ber of the Toronto Area Transit Operating Authority (TATOA)- which redesigned in light of the provincial government's decision to scrap the GO-ALRT (Advanced Light Rail Transit> system for more conventional technology. In addition to $500,000 for the actual station, the -architectural, engineering and plan- ning firm will receive $125,000 to redesign the station, compile tender documents and provide construction manage- ment for the facility. Herrema told the Free Press last Thur- sday that hie hopes the station will be comn- pleted by early 1988. 'It may be completed before then, but that will be the latest," the chairman said. Four other contracts were also awarded recently that will have a direct impact on the GO Transit push east from Pickering to Whitby. According to Herrema, $80,000 wor- th of engineering and design contracta were let a few days ago to provide for the laying of track and the building of necessary bridges bet- ween the two comn- munities. Herrema even hopes that the service could be in operation sometime "In'ml hoping to be there in 1987, if we can get the equipment pur- chased," hie said adding that the diesel engines and passenger cars have yet to be ordered. However, the push to extend the rail com- muter service from Whitby to Oshawa bas run into a few snags. Although Herrema believes that the comn- peeextension can be undertaken with the next five years, hie says that the service still has to cross Hwy. 401. That will mean special brde ilhave to be modate the heavily con- ventional train. The GO Transit authority bas also con- tracted the Whitby firm of Totten Sims and Hubicki to re-assess the $250 stolen from food store's till John Vince Foods Ltd. of 1912 Dundas East was broken into last week and $250 taken from the store's tilI.
