Councillor Emm said that reconstruction of this inter- section will take place in 1979. He pointed out that during the June 5th Public meeting held by the Admin- istrative Committee dealing with the Special Study Area 4B, which takes in the area bounded by Garden Street on the west and the* old Town boundary on the east, a motion was passed to have advanced 'green lights located at the intersection. The motion was deait with by the Town Council a t which time another motion was passed recomniending to Regional Council that advanced green light timing be installed and the inter- section be improved, in order to facilitate the flow, of traffic and improve safety for pedestrians. When the motion was first placed before the Region of Durham Council it was deferred. The Anderson- Hopkins-Dundas street inter- section is part of the Durham Regional Road system there- fore it can not lie deait with directly by the Whitby Council. The Regiona~l Represen- tatives for the Town of Whitby insisted that the motion be deait with. 'The Regional Council looked at the motion recom- mending the advance green liglits and safety improve- ments lie made to the Anderson-Hopkins-Dundas street intersection when the Whitby Representatives put pressure on the members of the Regional Council,' Councillor Emm said. As a result of the review SALES REPS John Crane Stan Westfali Phil Stevenson Gord Donnelly Bob Archer Tom LaRocca uSie made by Whitby Council, the Regional Council gave the promise' to the Whitby Representatives that the Regional Council intends to proceed with reconstruction of this intersection and the installation of advance green liglits along with, turning lanes. The Planning Departmnent anticipates that most of the heavy truck traffic on Hopkins Street will be elim- inated with the future construction of east-west roads such as Burns Street and Consunwrs' Drive through to Thickson Road. Improvements to the Hopkins-Dundas street inter- section are anticipated with the -reconstruction of Anderson Street scheduled in 1979. The need for an advanced' green light at the intersection will be reviewed again after the intersection improvements have been made, Deputy Planning Director Robert Shortt said. Councillor Emm pointed out at a public meeting'last week that the Regional Council at a recent meeting had given its promise that advance green liglits along with turning lanes will be installed in 1979. 'Anderson Street will be constructed to a four lane road,',both Mr. Shortt and Councillor Emm said. Mothers present in the audience expressed their concern for the children attending St. Theresa's School. It was pointed out that it is not safe for the children to cross Anderson Street to go to the School on Crawforth Street. They can not cross at the intersection as there is no sidewalk on the east side of Anderson street. 'It is dangerous now for the children; what will it be when Anderson Street is a four lane road and no side- walk on the east side of the street,' they asked. Anderson Street, now an 86 foot-wide road will be widened to 120 feet, the planners said. 'What is going to happen to the houses along Anderson Street,' Herb Visser of Bowman Avenue asked,' 'What is going to happen to Mrs. Wickett's house? She is here in the audience.' Mr. Visser spoke on behaif of the residents on Bowman Avenue and Anderson street 'as well as ail others in the area.' He said the Dundas- Hopkins-Anderson inter- section is a 'disaster area. It ties up the whole area.' Mr. tie ups and lengthy waits the motorists have to put in as they travel eastward on Dundas Street. The traffie backs up from the inter- section westward to Garden Street where there is 'another congested area.', Councillor Joe Drumm agreed that this particular portion of Dundas Street east is 'disaster area.' He declared that it has 'been a complete disaster area since last Friday, (October l3th) with the opening up of two new business establishments on Dundas Street. 'On the whole' lie thought that the Secondary Plan Report, Special Study Area 4B3 'is a fine plan.' But lie wanted 'to see the design and width for Anderson street - particularly the design for Anderson street on both sides from the intersection ta Crawforth Street. 'He also wanted to see that the Dundas-Hopkins- Anderson street intersection improved. The Special Study Area 4B plan is referred back to the Planning Depart- ment Staff with the recom- mendation that a public meeting lie held in 1979 to informn the people on what is being done with the pro- posais and suggestion put forth by the residents in the area. More than, 30 people were present at the meeting last week. Where have the park's brick pillars gone? 'Where are the pillars that have been in Centennial Park for some tinie?' Council1or,- Gerry Emm asked at a, rerent council meeting. . He expressed alarm 'that some force is trying, to do away with history and not trying to preserve the heritage of the land.' He told coundil that lie had heard the pillars that stood at the entra nce of Burns street fron-i Brock street were to lie relocated in some other area. 'I don't know why the pillar~s are going to lie located in another area. They belong right where they have been for these many years and they have become a landmnark,' lie said. The Coundil learned from the Director of Public Works Dick Kuwahara that an immediate decision had to lie made. The workers were on the site, and the pillars were in the pa th of the machinery being used to construct Burns Street through Centennial Park. One of the pillars was moved in its entirety whule the other was taken down 'brick by brick.' The bricks fromn the pillars are 'to be stored until a decision is made as to their future use.' Mayor Jim Gartshore said that he 'didn't want to have them (the pillars) taken down to -put the road in there,' bût he was advised that 'they had to be taken down. 1 want them put liack ini that park. That is where they belong as far as I am Iconcerned,' he said. The recommendation, was mnade that the Operations THOUOHT Committee report back with the yec ommenda tion tha t the' bricks from the pillars lie used again as pillars in Centennial Park. Council was in favor of the recommendation* and Counilor Tom Edwards asked, 'was the Historical Society notified about the removal of the park pillars, an historical landmark in the Town, The pilars were donated to the Town Of Nhitby i 1926 by the Women's Institute Greenwood girl. saves woman 98 life and is honored by council A io-year-old Greenwood resident, who belongs to the Second Brooklin Guides was honored by council Monday for saving the life of a neighbor's cleaning lady.
