Whitby joins road study Whitby will participate in the urban road needs study with the province's Ministry of Transportation and Comi- munications in the future. Director of Public Works Dick Kuwahara had recom- nended that the town parti- cipate in the study, saying It is ny feeling that Whitby would lose out if we do flot undertake this stuidy". Mr. Kuwahara pointed out that the cost of undertaking the study would be approx- imiately $12,000 to $16,000, but, because the MTC finances 75 percent of such studies. the town would only pay about $3,000 or $4,000. [le also feit that if the town was to conduct the study it may be eligible for subsidies for construction or repair of roads in the future. According to M r. Ku waha ra, of the 1 26 n>unicipalitics which the MTC asked to participate in a study, almost ail conîplied.

The work party consisting of (left to riglit) Do ug Scott, Don Vipond, Bill Fraser, Clyde Johnston, Bob McCrae, John Thiebaud and John Darling, began work on Saturday to transform a tract of wld woodlanid into a completed park with nature trails, picnic shelter and playground apparatus. Free Press Photo The town did a stînilar type of study in 1972 when it commissioned Totten, Simns, Hubicki Associates Limited to prep;ire a public works program and needs study. The new needs study programn as suiggested by the MTC is slightly different than the ()ne, which lias already- heen Prînared, but some of the data accumulated from the first study could be used in the new study. F.r example, in the old study, traffic volumes were required as an indication of the traffic deficiency in the urban and semi-uirban areas but, under the new study, these volumes would not be required. The basic idea of the study is to have ail the municipalities' fixed costs for maintenance and construction costs for road deficiences determined on a five-year basis. From the total costs, a municipality's share of subsidies could be determined. Mr. Kuwahara expeets that the study could take approximately two years to prepare.
