The increasing cost of repair of destruction by van- dals of Town property is amounting to a reduction in services the Town can pro- vide its residents, and a possible increase in the tax rate next year. For example the park in West Lynde area has been vandalized to such an extent that it has cost the Town $80,000 in repairs. Councillor Gerry Emm asked for support from the Whitby representatives on Regional Council when he would by bringing up the subject of vandalism. He stated that he would raise the ,Town's concern about the increasing vanda-, lism at the then forthcoming meeting of the Regional Council. He had hopeato have more police on patrol in the Town and in the regiori. Both police members and the several representatives on the regional council were asking for at least five more men to be added to the regional police force. The Regional Police Commission did not wish to spend $130,000 for an additional five men on the police force. Councillor Emm pointed out that, it would be better to spend the taxpayers' money for better protection of the region than having to spend it on the repair of destruction done by vandals. "We have to pick it up (the cost of repairs) through tax- ation due to the vandalism in the parks. It would be better Road and sidewalk program proceeds Although one of the Town of'Whitby's road reconstruc- tion projects has run into public opposition, there are several other projects plan- ned for the year that are expected to proceed on schedule. Recently, a number of citi- zens met at the municipal building to protest the recon- struction of Walnut Street fro4 Brock to Euclid Street. Thé people are in favor of the plan for storm sewers, curbs and gutters and sidewalks, but are objecting to the width of the road, which has been designated as a collector street by the town. While the town and the residents discuss the future of Walnut Street, other pro- jects are continuing. If the town can obtain the necessary land, it intends to widen Manning Road to four lanes from Hazelwood Drive to Garrard Road. The work is presently being designed and has been scheduled for construction in May, to be completed by the end of July. This will consist of storm sewers, curbs and gutters, sidewalks and asphalt pave- ment. The project is esti- mated to cost $200,000. At present, Manning Road is a four-lane street from Hazelwood Drive to Thick- son Road. The town intends to continue with the con- struction of Manning Road west of Thickson to Anderson Street. Eventually the various completed sections will be joined together to provide a major east-west route from Brock Street to Garrard Road, and eventually to Adelaide Street in Oshawa. Also planned for this year is the elimination of the jog at the intersection of Corona- tion and Conlins Roads and the improvement of Conlins Road east of Coronation Road. The total c.ost is esti- mated at $70,000. The jog has been consi- dered a traffic hazard for a number of years. By July, there should be four lanes of traffic moving under the CPR overpass on Brock Street North. Traffic was opened for two lanes in January. Last year a survey was made of the existing side- walks in the town and they were categorized into three groups: those requiring total replacement; ,replacement of parts; or not at all. The inventory showed there was a great amount of work required to bring the walks up to a reasonable condition and that a renewal program was necessary. Council was made aware of the situation and an accel- erated program for renewal was initiated last year. It will be continued for several years until the needs have been phased out. Sidewalks replacements will be done only in areas where they will not be in conflict with any future road works. Where a road recon- structioh is being done, side- walk replacements will be considered part of the road project. Council - has granted $40,000 for replacement of sidewalks' this year, gener- ally in the older core of the town. Stratford Festival For those going to the Stratford Festival - this summer and any others in- terested in the Whitby Public Library's plans to hold a discussion group to study some of the plays being presented, register at the reference desk. The pro- gram will be Tuesdays at 2:30 p.m. beginning April 18. at region to have that $130,000 for five bodies (police officers) than paying it out in taxation to repair vandalism of Town property." Mayor Jim Gartshore agreed as he said, "that makes sense...to pay for pro- tection rather than paying for vandalism." Councillor Emm brought the subject up at the recent regional Council meeting. He reported that "we were shot down." The Regional Council and Police Commis- sion are against tbe addition of extra men on the Regional Police Force this year, he said.
