According to North Ward Councillor Ross Batten, chairinan of council's operations committee, the money will be used to plan the public works depar- tment's road recon- struction and repaving sehedule for the next few years. "The primary pur- pose of the study is to determine the condition of the streets in Brooklin and the rural areas," he said. Batten pointed out that road, repair often fails into one of two categories: top dress or simple repaving, and reconstruction. He said that before spending huge amounts of tax- payers'mroney, the town wants to determine exactly what must be done to ensure that long terrn maintenance costs are kept down. "We want to do it properly right from the start, " he said. The study wiil be divided into two parts. This year, $17,000 will be spent doing a study on road s in Brooklin and the surrounding area. Next year, $32,000 wil be spent to conduet a "network study"l of roads in the rural areas not only of the north ward but of the east and west wards as weil. Batten said that $60,000 will be spent on Broooklin and area roads this year.

"Lt doesn't look like sewers are going to corne to Brooklin for a long time, " Batten said. Durham Regional that that is enough money to, repave many badly damaged roads in the hamlet but far from enough to, reconstruct thern. The councillor said he doesn't want to see roads repaved this year only to find out later that they have to be reconstructed. - When the study is completed and the town decides what work will be done,most of the cost will be borne by the On- tario Ministry of Tran- sportation and com- munications, through its road grants program. Batten said that he is particulary concerned about the conditions of roads in Brooklin and the rural areas. "Nothing bhas been done in the pa st 12 years," he said pointing out that there are still many gravel roads throughout the municipality. -"I personally think its bad economics to, have gravel roads," he said, "they need a lot of maintenance. " He pointed out that gravel roads require continual grading and other work to make them usable. Work on Brooklin roads was put off because the town did not want to, spend the money required until af- ter the hanilet had been developed. But since the scheme has now been scrapped the rnunicipality will now have to do work it has been putting off for the past 10 years. "The work was put off because we felt there was going to be development," Batten said, It's been put off for that length of time- because we thought somebody else was going to, do it. " Neitlier the Town .of Whitby nor the Region of Durham bas wanted to do the major road work be cause they vould only have to, be ripped up again to, in- stail the sanitary sewe r system, that had been planned for Brooklin. But now that sewers for Brooklin have- become iomething of a "pipe ream" that barrier is WORWONER w AIT CALI 004111 CORPORATION 1OFTHE TOWN 0F WHITBY s.iet- TOWN 0F WHITBY MUNICIPAL OFFICES C LOS E D MONDAY, MAY 219,1984 WHITBY TRANSIT The Whitby Transit WILL NOT be ln operation on Monday, May 21; 1984, because of the Vic- toria Day Holiday.1 The Transit System wiII resume operations on Tuesday, May.22, 1984.
