Picture: General Plan of Ajax, Ontario, at a scale of about 3,000 feet per inch. (Kent Barker, Planning Consultant for Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation) Photo: Plan d'ensemble d'Ajax, reproduit a l'e-chelle d'environ 3,000 pieds au pouce. (Kent Barker, pour le compte de la Societe centrale d'hypotheques et de logement.) We came to the conclusion that a business frontage of approximately 20 feet for each hundred of the population was a reasonable estimate of future needs. Part of this will be provided in the small neighbourhood shopping centres to be included in each new residential neighbourhood. This meant that the Central Business District could be accommodated on the west side of (H)arwood, extending from the new Highway to 2nd St. The plan of the business centre was based upon the following objectives, which we accepted as mandatory requirements: (a) Elimination, as far as practicable, of pedestrian traffic across motor roads. (b) Separation of customer access, whether by motor or on foot, from service roads and employee parking.
