PAGE 8, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1977, WHITBY FREE, PRESS Con troversial'in dustrial development par tially approved by council A draft plan for subdivision for an industrial developinent area west of Hopkins Street and south of Highway 401 lias been approved by the town council subject to a question- aire being sent to the province outlining concerns about the developrnent expressed by the Regional Works Departr-net and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. CLOCA comments that because of inadequate culvert passing Pringle Creek under the CNR tracks, the subject lands are 80 per cent within a flood plain. No develop- ment should be allowed until the culvert is enlarged, says CLOCA, therefore the plan- ning departm-ent says over- sizing the culvert should be a condition of' draft approval. The regional works depart- ment says there is no sanîtary sewer capacity for the area unless the Victoria Street puinping station is expanded. Also, until thie Pringle-Corbett Diversion systern tentatively scheduled for budget discus- sions in 1978 is completed, only 10 acres of the property can, be used, the works department says. No other development should be allowed above 10 acres until the diversion is comple ted says the planning clepartment. There is also concern about a major arterial road passing through the property south of Victoria Street, but n0 timing has been set for this road. The property under discus- sion is owned by Tarnay Realty Ltd. Now GO bus service' to York Milis subway Residents of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa will soon be able to take advantage of a GO Transit bus service direct to the York Milis Subway station. The initiation of the ser- vice has been announced by Minister of Transportation and Comimunications James Snow who pointed out that this new routing not only gives residents east of Metro an opportunity for direct connections with the subway but also opens up a much- needed transit corridor into the rapidly-growing areas of North Metro. Iniitially. the route will be designed to service rush hour riders travelling in both directions, Monclay to Friday. Buît, as demnand grows, it is likely the service* will be ex pan de d.
