Although flot opposed te the 407 Whitby has been at logger- heads with the mn'inistry ever smnce the .routç was announced Te mimistry wants the link te run between Halls and Corona- tion roads. Council prefers that it be built along Lake Ridge Road, thus causing the least disruption to, residents and allowing more land te, be freed Up for develop- ment. Whitby has submitted several alternatives te the ministry's proposal in recent years and al have been rejected. "As anyone who travels through this municipality knows, we don't have a north- south traffic problem», said Mit- chell. "There's neyer been any demonstrated need for it and y et they are determnined'te build it regrdess. They're determined te build two roads and carve up Whitby." (Plans cail for Lake Ridge Road te eventually be expanded te six lanes whether or not the link is bulit.) «Ail you can say is that the MTO crawls on," bemoaned Mit- chell. «We first made our commenta three governments ago and nothing's changed.» ?

"In five years the 401 will be tied up totally and no one will get anywhere, he said. "We need an east-west route first and the link can go in after.» Councillor Judi Longfield felt that if anything can sway the current government's thinkrng, it may be the financial argument. «If nothing else we should be driving home te (Premnier) Mike Harris, AI Palladini and Brenda Elliott that we have found a way for the government te save money," said Longfield. «They're pourrng millions- of dol-1lars*into a road we don't need or want,» she said. «Tere are alternative ways te t te the 407.
