Residents gave their opinions throughout the meeting and expressed their concern mainly over the proposed widen- ing of Albert Street which they felt would only lead to de- terioration of the entire downtown residential districts. Mrs. C.G. Steller. a 50 year resident of 105 Albert Street said she talked to an alderman concerning the problems of being a home owner on Albert Street but came away with the impression she couldn't talk to anyone about the prob- lem. Mrs. Gray told council the type of station they are establishing is the first of Residents unite; form association Bill Mart of 148 Albert Street briefed the group on what he had found to be the plans of Waterloo Hydro. He explained that because of the increase in the amount of electricity necessary for the downtown new poles would be needed. "Watenoo Hydro is willing to put the new poles in the same place they are now," Mr. Mart said, "the only dif- ference being that they would be 40 feet tall instead of 30. Their main concern is to get the hydro downtown with the least amount of cost. " Mr. Marr then said according to the official plan of Water- loo, Albert Street would be widened to become one of the principle arteries in the city. He explained this would be the reason why the hydro would move the poles now so if the city did decide to widen the street they wouldn’t have the additional cost of placing these new poles twice. A former member of the community services board until it was dissolved under regional govemment, David Ramsay said each year the board used to ‘seek $50,000 for tree plant- ing projects but the amount was always cut from the budget. Concern for the future of their neighbourhoods was ex- pressed last Thursday night by over 100 residents who gath- ered at MacGregor School for the formation of a downtown resident's association. When one resident asked why Albert Street couldn't be made into a one way street Mr. Marr said according to the city engineering department there was particular rules for that. "You must have a street going the other way within 500 yards," he said “so since we obviously don't that idea was immediately dismissed." A steering committee of nine members including repre- sentatives from both Albert and William Streets was set up to plan further action by the group. "When my husband and I asked the alderman he told us to sell the house and he said there should be all high rise apart- ments there overlooking Waterloo Park" Mrs. Steller said. "The next time we met a few weeks later the first thing he said was: 'Have you sold out yet?' ', of thisooucil deciding on anything?" Aid.
