This way no one WOUlct have to make that so-called hazardous left-hand turri from Pearl onto the main street. The association also wondered why the main street of Whttby has been scrubbed perfectly dlean of alI winter debris and sand, even to the extent that manual labour was brought to bear in the form, of a Town of Whltby employee sweeping the sidewalks. The situation on Baldwin Street is a disgrace. On dry days it is bad enough with the dust swirls but on rainy days, everything gets a fine coat of mud. Several people have called on several occasions requesting that the street be cleaned ti a proper mannen. Last Friday we had a token pass by with the sweeper truck. This was done during business hours and most of the areas were missed due to cars being parked on the street for shopping. That one little run though I hope did not constitute the extent of cleanîng we can expect. Is Brookir not part of Whttby, paying its shayre into the tax coffers? Last but not least the question of garbage pickup stili appears to be a problem. When Whitby took over the collection of garbage, they were speciftc- ally asked to pick up garbage from the main street ftrst. They assurai us they would. They are not doing it. Sometimes the garbage lays around the sidewalks for shoppens to walk through until nearly il a.m. This is disgusting. Many mothers have complained to store owners that they do not appre- ciate have to steer carniages and children around smelling heaps of garbage. With the warmn weather comning, this will make a great tourist attraction to visitors to this town. Being a ratepayer is simple. You just have to live north of Tauniton Road and care about your commu- nity. The only way to get things done is to stick together.
