Additional< no parking vetoed, CLASSIFIED Ab for resut SEEHOW PAY' TVBRIINGS THE GOOD LIFE 1NTOV1EV<ý BY TIM BAINES Commninty Editor Whitby's 'operations <committee bas respon- ded to a group. of Michael 'Boulevard residents by deciding flot to institute ad- ditional no parking regulations on the Street,, from Calais Street to Bell Drive. The decision 'was based on a questionaire circulated to 21 residen- ts wbo would be affected by tbe no parking zone. 0f the 13 questionaires retumned, 10 were against the additional restrictions while only three were in favor of them. According to a report from the works depar- tment, those opposed to the restriction said they required parking for their visitors and also the presence of parked carseut down on speeding cars because they had to drive more slowly. Those in favor were concerned about- the safety and said there was too much parking on the street. The report also recommended strict en- forcemnent of the three- bour parking liit on Michael Boulevard. An earlier report recomrnended that ad- litional parking restric- ~ions not be irnposed. it -as also recommended o have police set Up radar on the street to reduce speeding., 1Durham . - Regional Police complied, with this- request ' between June 8 agd 19, during which time 34ý charges were laid with speeds ranging from 59 -to 70 kilometres per hour. The police depar- tmenât recommended that on-street- parking from Calais Street to Jeffery Street be com- pletely'removedý as tbey felt this, would reduce area traffic problems. The town's repor t countered that complete removal of on-street parking may mrate a Brooklinexpan-sio] eliminate some of the traffic problems, but unless it was vigorously enforced, there would always be traffic. problerns.

"WhaUt we're trying to do la get this whole Brooklin, thing in action." «« The entire projeet bas been on a holding pat- tern because the agriculture ministry bas not agreed to par- cels cf land being changed' from their present, status. When completed, sanitary sewers will be extended to Brooklin and the community will grow from its present 1,600 te 10,000. lTown ' Couneil's change in direction on the plan was agreed to in a private session two weeks ago. *According to Atter- sley, Markborougb bas been informed of Coun- cil's decision.
