First of all, some readers may have been left with the impression that Mutual has been continuously offering a bus subsidy program. While its true that Mutual did have such a program for some time, that proâ€" gram was rather unceremoniously terminated in February of 1995 When Mutual stopped subsidizing transit passes they continued to subsidize people who drive their cars to work. If we want to keep core areas healthy, we should automatically be suspicious of any proposal to eliminate housing near them. We should be careful to consider if projects such as expanding the asphalt wasteland around Mutual are really a good idea from an urban uglifiâ€" cation perspective. With this summer of smog alerts we should quesâ€" tion the wisdom of encouraging people to get to work in private cars Would Mutuals expanded parking lot be to the overall benefit of Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo? Emphatically no! ~Martin Vierula â€" Barb Cook 1 think it is ludicrous that the Mutual Group is being allowed to destroy affordable housing so their employees can further contribute t0 Kâ€"Ws poor air quality. by makang it easier to take their cars to work rather than cleaner alternatives, such as cycling, public trans port, and car pooling. I doubt their atempt to promote these altemaâ€" uves to the automobile were much more than a token effort. The last thing Kâ€"W needs is another 330 parking spaces! â€"Jason Whitfield Regarding the article on Mutuals plan to demolish houses to make room for more parking: Mutual tries to give the impression that they‘re trying everything but still need more parking. There are at least two problems with this impression. READER‘S RESPONSE: AGAINST DEVELOPMENTS I completely agree with the residents who oppose the sale of land by U of W for development and the building of condominiums. In addition to al} the arguments put forward in the arucle in the August 5th issue, I find it interesung that the reason many people hike living in Waterloo is because it is not a large city. Yet developments like this are destroying this very aspect of the city that is appreciated by so many of us A message to U of W Please, reconsider your plans Some of us who are alumnae may just be angry enough to stop makâ€" ing the contributions we have made in the past. Good relations with the community are worth senous considerauon.
