I realize that the Public Works Committee have
found this to be u contentious issue . However ,
due to the potential hazard on Uwy . 401 and the
length of time it will Lake to either process an
Ontario Regulation or to come up with an alternative
solution Bciwc to the opening of the fishing season

Dear Mr. Shannon :
Hwy 401. at Wilmot Creek
Proposed parking restriction
Further to my letter of 1st August, I have had the
opportunity of reviewing the matter 'with the Mayor and some of
our councillors , and it is suggested that we arrange a meeting
in my Bowmanville office for Monday 10th September at 9 . 30 a.m.
There have been some alternative suggestions for parking,
and they are as follows :
1) Parking at the old gas PUMPS east of Wilmot Creek on the
south side of Hwy 2 . (This location would cause some
difficulties with people walking to the creek)
2) West of the creek and south of Hwy 2 there is a property
owned by, z presume, Natural Resources which might_ be
suitable . however, this might cause some entrance problems
on Hwy 2 as it is close to two other roads that meet in the
vicinity .
3) Parking along the old Kingston Road which is north of Hwy 2
and east of the creek.
I might add that this whole issue has been of concern for
quite some time to not only police but the municipa ity, and
perhaps this is the time to fully look into all a Natives .
You s' sincerely ,
-- - Sato L. Cureatz

Dear Mr. Shannon :
Hwy 401. at Wilmot Creek
1'a��osccl ��arkinc) re;;triction
1•lith reference to your letter of July 27th, I know
this is a problem, but at the moment your alternative
suggestions are not appropriate . Firstly, I am sure
the residents along Cobbledick Road would not like
this volume of traffic and secondly,, there is already
traffic congestion at Hwy 2. Hence , 1: am not at this
time in a position to support your recommendation.
I will be contacting the Mayor of Newcastle and the
local and regional councillors for that particular ward
to discuss the issue.
Yours sincerely,

At the request or the Newcastle Detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police L h i s Office investigated
the need For n parking restriction on Highway
401 ho th ea s thound and wes Lhound at tho Wilmot
Creek bridge . The study indicated Lhot n seasonal
parking problem doer CAsL n this bridge due
to the numerous fishermen that are parking along
Highway 401 in order to get to Wilmot Creek .
the numher of moLoriato parkini) alone Highway 401
c rea tes a ha za rd both to themselves and to the
traffic on the Freeway since the approaches to
Wilmot Creek are on a downgrade with the visibility
o f the parked vehicle being restricted due to the
crosts on Highway 401 both east and west of Wilmot
Creek . Instances have been noted where vehicles
were parked two deep along the freeway and at
Limes parked vehicles have actually encroached
on the Onsthound driving la no . To dato in 1979
there have been two injury accidents at this
location due to parked vehicles .
In order to prevent motorists From parking along
Highway 401 on the downgrades town rds Wilmot
Creek we are proposing to restrict parking on
Highw;) y 401 for 650 metres enst and 800 meLres
west of the ',Wilmot. Creek slructurc .
There is nlLernal:ive ;access to Wilmot Creek either
via Highway 2 and Cobbledick Road or the township
