Submitted for the WDRA Downtown Perspective Another step has been taken in the formation of the secondary plan. Council has appmyed the recommenda- tions of the planning depart- ment which were a part of the recent height review. These recommendations raise the height limit of GR3 zones from 35 feet to four stories along Union St. E. and in the Ezra-Bricker area, create a new GR3 area on the west side of Regina between Elgin and Lodge, and create a new medium density zone along Erb St. W. and along King No. from MacGregor school to Bricker on the west side and from opposite the school up to the present commercial area on the east side. The medium high density area includes the property at 9 Lodge St. and all of the north side of Lodge from Ron Kraemer local Jaycee president (left) and pro- ject chairman Fred Huttqr present Susan Kachik (centre) with a plaque in recognition of her nomine- tion in the national Jaycee outstanding citizen con- test.

The recommendations also ex- plicitly include a method of extending the area of the King Sts and Erb St. me- dium high density areas. This would be done by con- sidering zone changes on “lands required to complete a development parcel for a project." What does this mean to the average downtown resi- dent who is concerned about his home and his neigh- bourhood? For those residents in the King and Erh corridors. it means that their property has been earmarked for re- development. For the residents on the west side of Regina, it means that their area is the first area of the CRD plan to 1541 HOGHLAND RD WEST, KITCHENER It's Time To PLANT EVERGREENS We have the right chemcal or lawn femlazer tor your lawn or garden RUGHT NOW Is the hme to sway tor bugs. weeds, etc Get your garden gvowmg INTERMEDIA YEW NURSERY LTD.

This has impli- cations for all residents of the CRD, for the original purpose of the CRD plan was to downmne suitable re- sidential areas. All the residents of James St. are included in one or the other of these areas. For residents near either the King St. or Erb west cor- ridors it means increased pressures for re-develop- ment. If the move to in- crease densities in these corridors had been accom- panied by a firm committ- ment to retain the adjacent zoning. then, for example, a developer holding a lot on the south side of Erb St. which lot was not large en- ough for his project, would have to buy other lots on Ertt St. before he could de- velop.

Opposition Parties conti- nue to attack the Governs ment on the subject of X-ray hazards. following the re- cent disclosure in a report from the University of Toronto that excessive ra- diation from X-rays is caus- ing 20 cases of leukemia each year in Ontario. Li- beral Leader Stuart Smith charged that the Govern- ment has allowed its X-ray inspection service to dwin- dle to only nine employees. and said the Ministry of Health was being 'secretive' about the inspection pro- gram and not taking the sa- fety issue seriously, He sug- gested the Ministry only be- came concerned when this sort of thing becomes public knowledge. The Minister re- plied that this Province is further ahead than any release.

There was a 67% increase in the number of mad deaths during the first three months of this year, and the Government now plans a mad surveillance and adver- tising campaign. The Minis- ter said there was no known reason for the increase, beyond the fact that there were more multiple death accidents. Total deaths, . eluding pedestrians and clists were 270 for the peri January lst to March 31st this year, compared with 198 for the same three months of last year. Follow- ing introduction of the man- datory seat-belt legislation and lower speed limits three years ago, figures declined, but the 1979 figures are a complete tum-around. Since cars are now built to more exacting safety standards, these statistics would in- dicate that Ontario‘s drivers are the culprits, in 85% of the total fatal accidents there was no alcohol in- volved, no mechanical de- feet and no snow or ice on the road. Regardless of views expressed to the con- trary, more unbelted drivers involved in ac- cidents were killed than drivers who were. wearing their seat-belts.
