"CARRIED"
Mr. Garrard reviewed the letters submitted by individuals and
groups (32 in total) together with the Consultant's response to
each letter.
Mr. Garrard emphazied the fact that the opinions expressed in
the responses are those of the Murray V. Jones Associates rather
than those of the Town.
Committee members expressed concern over the following subjects.
(i) The lack of sufficient open sps®e or green belt to provide
an effectively defined pbysioal separation between Courtioe
and Oshawa.
(ii) The proposed alignment of the north-sputh portion of the
easterly section of the new No. 2 highway. It was suggested
that this section be re-looated one township lot further
to the east (i.e. lot 26) and thus avoid the destruction
of existing productive form lands.
Massaro Penfound and Oke, requested that the easterly extension
of Bloor Street, as it intersects Prestonvale Road, be re-looated
further to the south thus utilizing valley lands in lieu of
existing farm lands.
Mr. Hanewioh, on behalf of 300 petitioners, expressed concern
regarding traffic noises, air pollution etc, which would be
generated by the increased traffic resulting from the proposed
development.
Mr. P. Frangella referred to an error in mapping (page 10)
whereby the new highway No. 2 was designated as a 6 lane
arterial road. This error will be corrected to show a 4 lane
highway.
