service will be ideal with the GO train coming as far as Georgc- ruction this morning Wed will be drawing bock his forms from in front of several homes and repairing damage done to lawns on town property J On the west side of cement had already been poured partway down the side of the Queen St plain from Queen St This walk will now terminate at the back driveway which runs behind Norms barber shop beauty shop Royal Milk store Glenlea medical centre and drug mart The contractors had already Installed an shaped walk guiding pedestrians on the east side of Meadvale to the Queen St crosswalk This will now be enlarged at collector area for children More sidewalk will be built alongside Toth Shell service station ending before the first house The asphalt walk there is to be removed Tuo main objections Erie Lynch who lives in the first house on the west side and was spokesman for the delegation joined council on the road as the new plan was decided He and his neighbors had complained council primarily for two reasons they had not been properly informed they thought the sidewalks location on west side wrong The reasonable place would lie the east side to direct school children to the crosswalk Tended lawn Surely It would have been common courtesy to inform residents who like himself had tended town property IS years or more His property when pur chased included a rockery which with its bulbs had been cut through Tuesday for forms People had come home from work to find their driveways inaccessible The police were immediately Informed by council to prevent overnight parking fines They had seen the town superintendent looking over the property Thursday and they bad inquired Friday Need for seed Council agreed public relations had but cited need for speed The contractor whose was low was available Const had lust com pitted work on Main St The public works committee had Monday decided to have put in new sidewalk on the west side more practicical than the cast since there were fewer obstructions no hydro poles to be relocated few Irees and hedges to be moved Utile fill needed less distance to cover and more room for a five- foot walk This was the engineers recommendation The walk was to run down Meadvale and Long Held as far as and was as a collector Added to danger Mr Lynch explained per cent of the people walk down the cast side and the new walk would have added to the danger for children Cam Lcishman should be citizen of the year every year as far as Im concerned asserted Mr Lynch and hes responsible for the fact there more accidents there A sidewalk on the west side goes nowhere a monument to futility he opined Better than road Deputy Reeve Marks felt children use the plaza and a sidewalk there would be useful Mr Marks felt a sidewalk even badly located Is better than using the road He also wondered why a sidewalk on the east side t dodge around the hydro poles member of the delegation Eric Scott declared You could have saved your money and left things as they were Ted Cope Elliott also spoke Glenlea resident Councillor Norm Elliott predicted per cent of the people there wouldnt want a sidewalk at all So whats the use of fighting to get one in wondered reeve Mckenzie 1 m sorry About this With a limited amount of money we tried to provide safety for the children Lets wait and get reaction from other people said roads
