THICKSON ROAD DEVELOPMENT Monday, January 19, a meeting was held in the council chambers for residents to view the proposed development for Thickson and Dundas south. The official plan-suggests the lands be zoned for medium and high density. However, the developer apparently feels that townhouses are not selling and prefers single family detached homes on 35 to 50 foot lots. The Town of Whitby's plicy for low density detached dwellings is a minimum of 50 foot frontage. The main objections to the proposed development was the lot size. The residents felt, and rightly so, that low density detached homes on 35 foot lots was completely out of the question. The proposal was talbed for one month to allow staff to I study the plan.

EMM Chairman, Regional Public Works Committee I would like to extend my thanks to those responsible at the Whitby Free Press for producing the space for this column. After my successful election to regional council last fall, I felt that the Region of Durham and the Town of Whitby would benefit if I took the view of "how could I get more involved in a position of higher responsibility." So I ran for and was elected to, the position of regional public works chairman. Whitby always has been a great place to live, not only do we have a great community of interested residents but the potential for maintaining the heritage and foundations for which our forefathers worked so hard, is seen everywhere. The challenge is to determine the future. I believe we should maintain a healthy, safe and clean environment and constantly be aware of the side affects of our actions, if we don't. We must, in good conscience, work to find solutions to end the polluth.i problems which we find our rivers and creeks suffering from. They are looking more polluted as each year goes by. I have asked Whitby Town Council to embark on a program to plant more trees in the town as a method of not only beautifying but safeguarding our environment. While other things can and should be done, I feel that this is at least one step in the right direction. Another problem of increasing concern is the traffic flow throughout Whitby. The increasing flow of traffic in the town will demand the construction of safer intersections and con- siderable time will have to be taken to come up with new improvements on the roads. If I can be helpful to any Whitby resident at any time, please do not hesitate to call me at 655-4809 or to write me in care of the Municipal Building. 575 Rossland Road East, Whitby, Ontario.
