Waterloo, Ongwio the {our subdivisioqs in the area or, in lieu of that, at least some form of partial service. "Some of the people in the area have been around for nine years without any kind of service," Glazer said. He said the proposed two- mile route would serve tour subdivisions; suggested that the intersection at Hallman Road and West Ridge Drive could become the new ter- minal for route four and be the transfer point to the Erb Street ‘route five; claimed the route would currently service 206 families with a potential ridership of 618 people; and would be a posi- tive feature for the develop- ment and growth of these areas while at the same time promoting the use of public transit. ' “The high cost of gas and lack of parking tend to make people think, about using public transit," he said. Alderman Mary Jane Me- whinney was worried about the way the proposed route “doubled back.on itself". She was also concerned about the reaction to the scheme by those not repre- sented by the brief. C “Will we get a counter-pe Chronicle at." min! A second Kinsmen club - based in Waterloo - may soon be formed in the Twin Cities, according to the K- w Kinsmen Club. The Association of Kinsmen Clubs is a Canada-wide service group made up of over 600 clubs and approx- imately 17,000 members. Club branches are located in most population centres including Kitchener and Cambridge. . Since approximately tttree-quarters of the local ciub's membership comes from Kitchener, organizers have decided to base the new club in Waterloo in hopes of boosting membership. New Kinsmen club to be formed in area The meeting wifstart with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7:30 pm. -- - The reason tor starting a second Kinsmen Club in this area according to organizers, is the increased demand for community and social service work. For close to 40 years, the local club has channelled monies and service to projects such as milk for Britain, play- grounds, mental retardation research and treatment, cystic fibrosis and other worthwhile projects. An organizational meeting regarding the project is to be held on Wednesday, March 12 at the Waterloo Motor Inn for anyone interested in the club. Prospec- tive members will get further details at that time. However, the demand for work such as this has grown at a faster rate than the club's membership, and organizers feel a second club and some new ap- proaches will remedy the problem. Soyou think you know Wand . Community Calendar Inside mien from thbse along the Mayor Marjorie Carroll shared Mewhinney’s con- cern when she said some re- sidents in the area might say "yes, we want service, but not in front of my route who oppose it?" Me vhinney asked. - -- Alderman Doreen Thomas suggested Council ask Kitchener Transit to see if "they have enough slack to incorporate six routes per day or at least a minimum of one" and if so, include the project in the City's 1980 budget. "The market is there for the service ... something is required immediately," Thomas said. Alderman John Shortreed suggested that “any kind of service would be better than no service at all." Glazer claimed.. the pro- posed route would cost an estimated W,000, based on statistics he acquired from Kitchener Transit, with a recovery rate for the exten- sion of " per cent. . Kitchener Transit will be asked to study the situation before the scheme can be in, cluded in the 1980 budget proposals 15Cenu..
