wHTrBY FREE PRESS, wEDNEsDAY, JULY 6,1988, PAGE s Landacusto delays hotel he construction of the Consumers Dr. extension to Brock St., se desired by Whitby counicil and, a hotel interest, is being held up by a land, acquisition probeM. 1Ministry of Transportation spokesmnan Peter Shaver told The Free Press that the road exten- sion requires extra land >to provide space for* an additionai ramp. In- order to rebuild the highway ramp, we require land from the developer. The difficulty is that there are unresolved conditions (in order te obtain land from the developer)," Shaver said. Rathero than explain these "conditions," Shaver' said only that they are "quite complicated. "There have beennegotiations over the past. few years. It is difflicuit because it has to be a multi-party. agreemnent between the four parties," ho said, re- ferring to the doveloper, hotel, operator, Town of Whitby and Ministry of Transportation. Shaver' said that the Town would be. meeting with the Summer Sale OceS agai, Woodcrf i offering Specia Sumer Savings on a wide selection of fumitur for your home or cottage.
