Page 2 â€" Waterloo Chronicle, Wednesday, November 30, 1977 The concept plan for the downtown improvement area has been presented to Council. This plan is an "idea‘"‘ document which outlines a number of conâ€" cepts which might be used to improve the downâ€" town and make it more attractive to shoppers and potential shoppers. Some of the suggestions are very interesting, such as those which would widen the sidewalks and provide plantings of 3% to 4 inch trees. Street lighting oriented to pedestrians is also menâ€" tioned. These suggestions in turn open up poSâ€" sibilities for outdoor restaurants, overhanging canopies, etc. The latter would definitely serve to make the downâ€" town more attractive in summer months. Perhaps Downtown perspective some consideration could be given to arrange the plantings so as to provide windbreaks for the winâ€" ter thereby making cold weather shopping a little more pleasurable. This goal would be in line with the report‘s objective of visual separation between the street and the sidewalk. However, there are two major stumbling blocks to the concept proposals, both of which are described youl? matuel? at the exhithotating dlighes these nestourarants feoture~ @VEB&LOOT oror SINN WIN A DINNER FOR TWO AT ONE OF THE FOUR SUPERB DINING > PLACES FEATURED ON THIS PAGE Hungarian Goulash .. . . . .__ $2.45 Hot Beef on French Bread . _ . . .. $2.25 Farmers Sausage On A Bun With Sauerkraut . . . . . . . _ _ ... $1.25 Wiener Schnitzel Sandwich _ . $1.95 Homemade Dutch Apple Pie . .70 Homemade Apple Strude! .80 The Waterloo Chronicle will pay up to $25 of the price of your meal at one of these Kitchenerâ€"Waterioo dining estabâ€" lishments if your name is drawn in ‘"The Meal‘s On Us!" contest. > * Just write us including name, address and telephone number, and mail or bring it to the Chronicle office 92 King Street South, (above O.W.

S _ As -wig;d;p:r{{ng the concept plan looks to the city to provide additional parking spaces. During the Council‘s discussion, the question of paid parking arose. One wonders how a downtown with paid parking could expect to compete with malls where the parking is free. Other reports have stated that some of the parking is used by downtown employâ€" ees. What actions are being taken by the store ownâ€" ers to overcome this problem, and what action would they be able to take? The problem of traffic naturally results form the narrowing of the street caused by the widening of the sidewalks. Alternate traffic routes are thereâ€" fore needed. As in the case of the parking, the conâ€" cept plan does not indicate where the routes might go, stating that traffic is the responsibility of the city and the region. . ’ I can appreciate the position of the merchants when they state that they don‘t want the traffic.
