The houses in sorne cases are not at 90 degrees to the road and are staggered in order to create more privacy' areas in the front and rear yards and to relieve the monotony of the streetscape, he says. The single famnily homes :ange from 5,000 te 7,000 square feet in lot area. Prices range froni S53,000 and unp.

The key feature cf tdi Bradley South suù-divisioni the Aslî Creek diversionî. IRecreation Ltd. brought the firsi formai application for a plan of sub- division to the town in May i972, thc council decided tuai the devlo)poîcot co uid net p)rocecd until the seaso()lial floodting problemns of the Ash (reck wcre soived. According te Mr. Tunriey ilicre was a lack of a defined watcrcoursC for the Ash (?reek, which runs aiongside the CI>R tracks fromn Brock Street, and turns south along Ash Street. The creek drained a large area of land to the north, and was subject to severe flooding, particularly in the spring runoff, and during the heavy rainfail of August 28, 1971 when many nearby homes had their basements flooded. To solve the flooding problerns it was proposed that a ditch be dug to provide a well-defîned watercourse for Ash Creek and that this ditch divert the water from the headlands of the creek directly into the Pringle» Creek. The town made the ditch a condition of development, and the developer is paying the full cost of the mile-long ditch, part of which is open and part of which is made up of enclosed culverts. The ditch- follows north side of the railway line and is enclosed from Brock Street to Beech Street and open to Garden Street where -it is again enclosed where a grade separation will be but at the raiiway crossing in the future. The remainder of the diteli is open to where it joins Pringle Creek. Construction of the Ash Creek diversion began in the fail of 1974 and was com- *pleted this fali. By next spring, says Mr. Tunney, the iarea wili be iandscaped with a *gently ro'-.'î ig asphaît wak way, with lamp standards along the fuli course. There will also be three parkettes constructed along the water- scourse. The diversion ditch will sbe fed by storm sewers froni 1the Bradley farm develop- nient, and wvill p:,event any of gthe water fromn northi of the iCPR tracks froni entering the -oid Aslh Street alignment of ýi the creek, finis relieving the y danger ef flooding in the Il southern part ef the town. s Is r e a ,e ýk [t c t is Bradley Farm to be develepeti is likely to be the area east cf Brock Street betweeîî Starr Ave. aînd Rossland Road. Various forms cf higher deîîsities, hopefully encour- aging sonie rentai acconmmo- dation as well as privately owiied dwelliiîgs are anticipa- ted says Mr. Tunney, although no time schedule for buildinp, has been set. The Bradley Farm's original concept also ineluded lands east cf Garden Street which have yet to be deveioped. depnartmen t h ires a programmer to help co-ordinator Mrs. Audrey Robbesclieu- ten, a former teachers' aid 1with handicapped children,1 has been hired as a recreation programmer te assist 'Bob« Caspeil, co-ordinator of cern- munity services.
