Whitby and Brooklin merchants tackle traffie Downtown Whitby and Brooklln merchants wil meet with represen- tatives of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications and the Region of Durham to discuas the increaaing amount of traffic on Hlighway 12. Ed. Buffett, Chair- man of the Board of Management for the Central Business District Improvement Area, appeared before the operations commit- tee asat week and ex- pressed concerns that the amount of heavy truck traffic în down- town Whitby waa making it difficult to at- tract shoppera to the downtown core. The town had earlit-r requested the MTC restrict the heavy traf- fic on Highway 12 through Whitby and Brooklin by directing heavy traffic to use Thickaon Rd. The town had also requested that the MTC instali 'radar con- trolied' warning igns in the vlcinity of Brooklin much lilce the signa near Whtby. But the MTC refuaed to install the signa and wil not reatrict the flow of traffic. "The primary f un- ction of Provincial H1ighways la to move traffic efficiently...To restrict truck traffic on ighway 12 ... would defeat this purpose, and would be very unfair to, a large portion of road- way users, " waa the response from a traffic analyst of the MTC. So to make the MTC more aware of the problemn, the town has requested the BIA to submit their concerna in writing and will arrange a meeting between the four parties involved. A report by the Public Worka Department, recognized the heavy traffic flow on Brock St., but tated that it may be because Thickson Rd. S. la currently under con- struction. 11... when the road la finished there may be quite a reduction in the volumes because it would be easier to use Thickson Rd. than Brock St.," aaid the report.
