WHITBY FREE PRESS9 WEDNESDAY MARCH 16, 19839 PAGE 3 Reynolds extenision will be top 1984 priority:e Mayor' cese' points te, College Downs currently run off Blair Street. Tliey say a third exit wil make il easier for residents to go downtown and for emergency vehicles and town service vehicles to get to the subdivision. Those opposed Wo the extension say the open- ing of Reynolds Street wil mean increased traffic in the subdivision and increased danger to children who must cross Reynolds to go W school. Terry Stimpson,, an Eva Court homeowner who represents resi- dents against the exten- sion, told council the same set of tacts exist now as when couneil vetoed the extension two years'ago. As far as emergency access to the subdivi- sion goes, Stimpson argued that response times can not adequate- ly be determined until it is known wliether the Brock Street firehali is going te be relocated in the near future.

In a prepared speech, Stimpson challenged each of the reasons rven by bis opponents or extending the street. As far as isolation is eoncerned, Stimpson said, residents of Col- lege Downs are within an eight-minute walk of downtown. "I for one don't want to get slightly faster ac- cess te the beer store at the expense of the cbild- ren's safety," Stimpeon said. Council," however, re- mained convinced that there are' more solid arguments in favour of opening Reynolds Street. Marcel Brunelle, who represents the resi- dents of College Downs as the Centre Ward councillor, said the issue lias become an emotional one frauglit with rumour and hall truths. "The firat rumour _ -J orv says that it is ln the offi- ciai plan of the town to widen Reynolds Street to the sidewalks, put a white line down the mid- dle, ban ail street parking and use Rey- nolds as a major north- south traffic route Wo in- clude buses and trucks bounds for the industrial area, " Bruneile said.' "I want the residents of College Downs to know that every single one of these allegations i 1s patently untrue," he added. Brunelle, like coun- cillors Bugelli and Bat- ten, argued there would not be a significant in- crease lni traffic to war- rant concern for the safety of 'children. Brunelle said traffic on Collette Dr. will be eased with the opening of Reynolds. It was largely the Collette Dr. residents who were in favour of opening.Rey- nolds.
