No. 39 Wednesday, October 1, 1975 Ten Cents Report proposes harbour dredging to clear the way for large marina Whitby Council was presented with a report on Monday which outlines the preliminary proposals for development of-Whitby harbour. The report, prepared by the consulting firm Tot- ten, Sims, Hubicki Associates Limited, recommend dredging of the harbour to prepare it for the possi- ble future construction of a 250 to 425 slip marina for recreational crafts in the northeast corner. The proposal is in conformity with the Town's Official Plan which states 'it is the policy of the council that the Whitby harbour be developed for water ovented recreational uses'. The report recommends that the Town-owned property between the northern harbour lands and the Whitby Yacht Club be developed with picnic areas, walkways, bicycle paths, viewing stations of the harbour and limited docking facilities. The more -active recreational areas such as filtered swimming basins, boat rental and athletic fields would be located in the northwest sector of the Town-owned property, providing a link between harbour land uses and Iroquois Parks. Inherent of the development of the harbour should be a basic objective - the provision of good public access to the shoreline, the report states. For access to and egress from the harbour lands, it is proposed that Henry Street be extended southerly from Victoria Street, Watson Street be extended westerly from Charles Street to intersect with the southerly extension of Henry Street and for the southerly parcels of Town-owned lands, Front Street remain open. The report notes that 're- tention of Front Street as a public right-of-way is important in providing a link between the harbour lands, Pringle Creek, Heydenshore Park and the waterfront'. The initial dredging will cost an estimated $540,000, some of which is available in grants ôr work from various government departments. Council's operations cornmittee will study the report.

Airport cancellation will affect development 'Industrial development in the region will be affected' by the federal government's decision to scrap the proposed Pickering airport, according to Forbes McEwen, Director of Development for the Town of Whitby. 'It was easier for industry to justify looking to the east (of Toronto) with the airport being pro- posed for Pickering', he said. As a sales tool it was one of the arguments in favour of industry moving Dr. Hobbs will not contest mayoralty Doctor Ken Hobbs has decided not to seck the position as mayor of Whitby. Mr. Hobbs made the decision last week, saying that he would not have enough time to devote to the job, his practice and his family. The announcement puts to rest recent specula- tion that Mr. Hobbs would indeed be a candidate. He contested the mayor's position in 1965 but lost to Des Newman. From 1960 to 1965 he sat on the school board and from 1968 to 1973 he served as a town councillor. in this direction, Mr. McEwen feels. He added, however, that he could not specific- ally name any companies which have recently lo- cated in Whitby which did so solely on the basis of being near the airport. Mr. McEwen called the decision to about the project 'acostly joke' and had' some words for Ontario Premier Bill Davis whose government's last minute refusal to service the lands in the area of the proposed airport seems to have -been the major factor in the cancellation. 'He's made what he feels is a political decision. I think we are all suffering from lack of leadership'. However, he feels that the cancellation provides 'a chance for the federal government to sit on it for a couple years until the demand for air travel is better assessed ià light of the current oil problems'. Mr. McEwen said 'I feel eventually the airport will be built when the political winds are blowing in another direction'. He feels that when the airport is eventually built, it will still be located in Pickering for a numu- ber of reasons - the federal government lias 'gone so far' at Pickering and the provincial government has not changed from its original stand i.e. that Pickering is the best site.
