town country Wives petition collecting names COLLINGWOOD Ont CP Members of the Coll ingwood Police Wives Association are continuing their cam paign calling for the reinstatement of capital punishment and stricter gun control laws spokesman said Tuesday Chairman Anne Cheevers said signed petitions from across Canada have been sent to the organization and she expects to receive at least 25000 signatures The campaign began Oct 12 following the shooting death if Sgt Ron McKean of the Collingwood police department To select warden The new warden for Simcoe County will be elected at the inaugural meeting of the Simcoe County Council at the County Administration Centre Midhurst Monday Support request City councils general committee voted this week to ask the federal government to reinstate capital punishment and impose stricter controls on the use and sale of firearms The vote was taken in response to request from Coll iiigwood town council to support its resolution calling for capital punishment stricter firearms control and an end to the temporary leave program for prisoners The committee did not support abolishing the leave pro gram for prisoners because as Ald Bill Knowles said if it works for one prisoner out of 100 its worth it Some aldermen thought it was waste of time for them as members of municipal council to comment on matters that fall within the jurisdiction of the federal or provincial governments IAPA meeting The Barrie section of the Industrial Accident Prevention association IAPA will meet at the Barrie Holiday Inn Jan Dr Tom Porter of

roposals Traffic flow preservation of older buildings and ways to attract major department store to downtown Barrie were among the concerns expressed by Barrie residents Wednesday at public meeting called to discuss 11 proposals for redeveloping the citys downtown core area The meeting held at the Sunnidale Community Centre attracted about 70 residents including six aldermen and members of the Citizens Advisory Committee which has been studying the proposals for about month Jack Diamond president of one of two consulting firms which drew up the proposals said the proposals offer the city choice between an onstreet or offstreet mall either east or west of Bayfield Street between Dunlop and Collier streets The study also includes alternate traffic routes in and around the downtown core and development proposals for the areas adjacent to the shopping core NOT COMPLETED Those proposals have not been completed but they will form part of the final package submitted to the city for approval he said Diamond said the reason the consultants presented the downtown shopping area proposals before concentrating on other aspects of core area redevelopment was to make sure Barrie gets share of provincial monies allocated to cities undertaking core redevelopment The money given as loans to municipalities is used to offset the costs of attracting major drawing card such as department store or shopping mall to serve as an anchor or seeder development in downtown core which would attract other smaller developments into the area About $30 million was set aside for such proects last year by the province and Diamond said Barrie is hig on the list of municipalities that can get the money if suitable project is undertaken All of the 11 proposals drawn up by the consultants meet most of the criteria major department store would demand before agreeing to locate in downtown Barrie he added such as enough land no zoning problems and connection with another large store Woolworths with between 30 to 50 smaller stores between them But he stressed that downtown redevelopment will go ahead if major department store or other seeder project cannot be attracted to downtown Barrie LEISURE FACILITIES One city resident however said she hoped the waterfront area will be developed in conjunction with the shop ing area to provide parks and leisure facilities adjacent to shopping area think we want to make sure that this is town you can live in and enjoy notjust buy things said Connie Hodges Arch Brown owner of the Canadian Tire store in the Bayfield Mall one of the main factors behind the decline of the downtown retail area said he thinks major department store in the downtown area would make both the Bayfield and downtown shopping areas stronger He also said the need to get people from the southern areas of Barrie to the northern end and the expected increase of traffic on Bayfield in the foreseeable future can be handled best by extending Toronto Street under Highway 400 to Kozlov Street Traffic would then flow to Bayfield Street and out Highway 2627 he said Sam Cancilla member of the Citizens Advisory Com mittee and owner of Cancillas Fruit Market on Clapperton Street said the city must be careful not to choose the oxamlner Thunday Jan 12 1978 or core area discussed redevelopment proposal that only recreates the Bayfield shopping malls in the downtown core FIND REASONS He also suggested the consultants and the city try to determine why people dont come downtown as often as they once did One man replied that overlyefficient meter maids who ticket cars after their parking meters expire are partly to blame If meter maid comes along and the time is up bingo thats it he said woman who lives in Allandale said it is far easier for her to drive up Highway 400 to the Bayfield Street mails to shop than try to get downtown through the traffic Cancilla said that as alternative redevelopment schemes are eliminated the city should take care to demolish older run down buildings to make way for new shopping malls while reserving historic buildings Wilma Pavlik chairman of the Citizens Advisory Com mittee said she was pleased at the number of people who at tended the meeting despite the weather The turnout indicates high interest in downtown redevelopment among Barrie residents and she sees that as positive sign You can make studies and recommendations until youre blue in the face but if the public isnt interested its waste of time she said Mrs Pavlik said her committee will continue working on other aspects of downtown redeveloument such as land use policies and densities before recommending four or five alter natives to the core study committee of city council The committees mandate expires when the consultants finish their work expected sometime in February she said Arch Brown owner of the Canadian Tire Store in the Bayfield Mall says the analysis of retail shopping patterns used by core area consultants to draw up 11 redevelopment proposals for downtown Barrie contains at least two major errors At pubic meeting Wed nesday to discuss the redevelopment proposals Brown said he sees credibility gap in the study which says downtown Barrie now gets more business than tire Bayfield Street malls and that tourist business accounts for only two per cent of all retail sales in Barrie Brown criticized the studys conclusions on Barries share of the tourist market at one point labelling it crap former president of the Huronia Tourist Association board Brown said the associations study of tourist business showed the Huronia region gets 17 per cent of all tourist business in the province And you say tourism ac counts for only two per cent of Barries retail sales he asked the consultants who did the survey Brown was upset because the consultants did not include automotive sales at the Canadian Tire store in their study of tourist shopping in Barrie He said he takes exception that most of the Canadian Tire store sales were left out of the tourist sales analysis because automotive sales were not considered tourist retail sales Steve Janes of Diamond Planners said the analysis considered only the second floor of the Canadian Tire Store where sporting goods are sold Ive got 20000 square feet on the first floor Brown replied Janes who said Brown was the only Barrie merchant to come out against the studys conclusions told Brown art of the problem could be he LEGS different definition of retail sale and tourist retail sale than the consultants did Marshall Green lawyer and member of the Citizens Advisory Committee
