WHIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1988g PAGE 13 Whitb y transitbs fares wil ince in Februar Both daily fares and monthly passes'for Whitby buses will 'in- crease as of Feb. 29, Whitby council has decided. For adults the fare will increase to 70 cents from 65 cents; for students, 55 cents from 45 cents; for seniors 45 cents from 40 cents; for children, 40 cents from 35 cents. The public works department in- formed council that student fares go up 10 cents because students are the primary users of the t-ansit system. "We provide extra vehicles in the Car dealership.planned on Brock N. morning and afternoon, at ad- ditional costs to the Town, to serve' their (student) needs and they take up as much space on the bus as an adult and currently receive a 30 per cent reduction from our adult fare," states a department report. The department said student. fares will continue to increase in the future but gave no time period gr amount. Monthly passes for adults will in- crease to $26 from $24; for students, $18 from $15; for seniors, $15 from $13; and for children, $13; and for children, $13*from $12. Hilleourt Dr. residents say they don't oppose plans for a car dealer- ship just north of their properties off Highway 12 (Brock St. N.) but want certain conditions met before the development is approved by the Town. Martin Van Kessell presented a petition of concerns and possible solutions to administrative com- mittee at a public meeting last week for the application by Walter and Am Labanovich. The nine-acre property, south of Taunton Rd., is now occupied by an au to wrecker's yard and single family dwelling. Kevin Tunney, planning consultant for the ap- plicant, said Chrysler Canada has "expressed intent" to lease another part of the property to relocate from an existing dealership in the downtown area of Whitby. Van Kessell, who submitted what committee chairman Gerry Emm described as the best presentation "best I haveseen in i long, long time," wants to ensure that the water supply for nearby residents is not upset; that a traffic hazard be solved at that location on the high- way, perhaps with the construction of a turn lane; that a barrier of cedar trees and a chain link fence be erected between the property and residents; that service doors on the dealership face north, away from residents. Draft plan for housing is approved Aproval has -been given by the Town to a draft plan for the second phase of housing by Baif Develop- ments Ltd. on property north of Rossland Rd., betweenAnderson andThickson. The second phase will include.178 single family lots, including one block for a park. Whitby administrative commit- tee had tabled the draft plan for the second phase at the Jan. 4 meeting because of concern ,over the con- struction of a sereen fence along Rossland Rd. adjacent to the first phase. But a Jan. 13 notice from ap engineer for the developer noted that work had begun on the fence. Councillor Joe Drumm asked last week that the fence be erected by Jan. 25, when council would decide on draft plan approval, or he would not give approval. Myrtle news By LAURAL HAMER Last Sunday Rev. Ian MacRury officiated at our regular service which combined a christening ser- vice for baby Sarah Slater, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Slater. The sermon was on family and the value of backgrounds, was most interesting, and the church was beautiful with flowers. The CPR course bas been filled. It starts Feb. 15 and runs for three Monday nights (Feb. 22 and 29). Nght start at 7:30 and run to 10 p.m. A date to keep in mind is Feb. 8 when Susan Shepherd will show a slide presentation on Auberge, the hostel for abused women and children in Oshawa. Anyone in- terested in helping with this project can join the United Clíùrch Women on their regular meeting night in the church. Tunney said a drilled well would not affect. existing wells' and he noted a hydrologist's report would be made. But another resident, Pat McCloskey, noted that the digging of footings for construction could lead to water problems. He asked that the developer be responsible for any problems that may occur. McCloskey also said lighting could be a concern, particularly, he noted, after the complaint made auuout sign lighting from a new Kendalwoodplaza building. Residents also pointed out that services were being installed on another nearby development, iden- tified by Town planner Paul Rycroft as the first phase of the residential construction by Graywood Developments. Councillor Ross Batten suggested that a separate report be made on water supply for the area because of the two developments beside Hillcourt.
