LETTER:* Town heritage p rotection FROM'PAGE 6 designate that street as an heritage district? Maybe it.wiIl be, in danger in the year 2088 as the development pressures -on Cullen Gardens wiII be astronomical. Whitby Town council, please look. at what you have that is in need of protection: on Dundas St. W.Y the "Bigelow building," hailed by the Main Street report as very important to fhe downtown. Pérhaps the Town could LEAD the way., I think that the acquisition of that building by Town, the restoration of it with m'oney froin theý Prpvincé- (it is available) and from the Town, will serve the BIA as an indication that council is not just. paying "ip service" to the cause of revitalizing the downtown. And this bring nme to Mr. J. Hastie's letter. As an outsider who came to Whitby not long ago Mr. Hastie realizes the. possibilities in downtown Whitby and cannot understand council's endorsernent of the Prettiest Street. PerhÎaps, * council can do for- downtown Whitby what it has done for (',ullen Gardens: *a Whitby museuni, a heritage district, making sure that new developient is sympathetic with existing structures,. activeîy endorsingdowntown Whitby. The BIA is to be recommended for what they are doing. Mr. Anderson's article and letter are' right to the point. I* hope our councillors have read it...
