If -you want to corne down here, there's no parking. You haveta park on the streetý and, sometimes you- get a ticket.» While niany new residents are. not aware of the historical- back- &und of the park, they may be familiar with the :îovel 'AM an Called Intrepid,' written by namesake William Stevenson.

And once again, the plea from councillor Marcel Bruànelle failed taý receive the support of any other councillor. By a 7-1 margin, council approved terms of reference for an open spaoe master plan study of the Lynde Shores -Secondair Plan ares. The master plan' will impIe- ment recommendations con- tained in a previously-approved enviranmental manageent plan (EMP) which adressesthe efect of devlopment on the marsh.

(Housing parks and schools are planneci for as many as 6,700 people.) Reminding council that lielias opposed the project almost from teoutset, Brunelle asked caun- cil ta take another look at the "Itikif you liad the chance ta go down and walk it like I1 have you'd know we have nome- seaindBr==eal tiers ta preserve,7 'Tm not convinced this will do Notng tiat the concept is tau- ted as ai new approacli in plan- ning; Brunelle agreed 0we ahoul be exoimentg. lBut t tee tryr. it i ast we have.» Brunelle said if tlie area must be develaped, lie favours -9iglit industry» as a better methoro bufferihig the marsi.
