WHITBY FHREE PRESS, WEDNESDAYOCOER 21. 1987, PAGE 19 Bradley sidewalk appeai 1 rejected A Bradley« St. resident failed in his attempt to have Whitby council overturfl a Sept. 28 decision requiring sidewalks be buiît on both sides of Bradley. Frank Grieco, of 713 Bradley Dr., presented his -case before councîl last Tuesday night but lost his bat- tle despite some help from coun- cillor Marcel Brunelle. Brunelle presented a motion to rescind the September decision but the motion was lost when no other councillor would second it. Council's original decision was contrary to an administrative committee recommendation that called for a sidewalk to be built only of Garden St. and Martinet on the west side of Bradley as part of a 75- unit townhouse for the area. On Tuesday night, Grieco said the council decision, which was partly based on a Town policy to have sidewalks on both sides of collector roads, was inconsistent since neither Garden St. or Blair St. have sidewalks on both sides. "This is a gross. waste of money for whoever has to pAy for this," he told council." That is not required for a safety point of view. There is no necessity for a sidewalk on our street. We cannot understand the rationale." He added that only five bouses from. the area front the proposed sidewalk location. He said people bought . their bouses in the area on the basis there would be no sidewalks. "It just doesn't seem fair. The sidewalk would deter fromn the beauty of the area," said Grieco. Bruneili said he had opposed the sidewalk on both sides and instead suggested the Town take cash-mn-lieu-o! the sidewalk from the developer, Arch Construc- Centennial rents go uP Rents will go up for permanent residents of the Centennial Bui ldi ng on Centre St. S.

In introducing himself, Furlong said "some of you may or may not be delighted with the outcome of the election." He then looked at councillor Tom Edwards, a longtime NDP supporter, and smiled. "I can't guarantee 100 per cent resuits with help at Queen's Park but we will do our best. " Under questioning from coun- cillors about the permanent location of the land registry office, Furlong replied, "As far as I'm concerned it wîlI be located in the Town of Whitby. If there was a change, I would stand with you. " The registry office bas moved to a temporary location at Thornton Rd. and Dundas in Oshawa to help alleviate overcrowding problems when it was located in Whitby. But long range plans cail for the per- manent location to be in Whitby. Furlong also told council there has been a suggestion that ail five MPP's in Durham Region get together on "an occasion" to discuss the region's problems. "I'm sure that wilI happen," said Furlong.
