Per- municipal sons in local Village to spend $35,000 on road paving in 1972 The village of Port Perry . has - made plans for the paving of nearly three miles of municipality streets this year. The exact number of feet to be paved is 15,735 as an estimated cost of $35. 718 or'about $2.27 per foot. Roads. Committee Chair- man Phil Orde said'it should be noted that these are not yet definite figures, -and could be subject to change for the necessary approval by the Department of High- ways. It is believed that Ontario County will supervise the paving, and a request has been made by the Village for inclusion of the Village program into the County's overall 'call for paving ten- ders. If it is possible for the County to include the pro- gram, the Village would then pay the County directly, It was agreed at a Roads Committee meeting held . February 10, that the Village should be prepared to spend $40,000 on the paving pro- gram this year. Half of this amount can be subsidized by the Department' of Trans- portation and Communica- tions, and the Village will maintain a reserve fund for unforseen expenditures. The remainder of the total amount will be raised through the mill rate. The Roads Committee de- cided that work this year will be done on the: following streets. John Street-1500 feet from 7A to Queen North Street-1400 feet from Water. to Lilla ¥ Perry Street-1150 feet from 7A to Mary Perry Street-900 feet from North to Lilla Rosa Street (and Ella)-3,000 feet from Bay to 7A MacDonald Street-500 feet from Rosa to Queen Union Street-1200 feet from Ontario to Sexton Bay Street-700 feet from Bigelow to Rosa Bigelow Street-2650 feet from Queen to Kellett Simcoe Street-560 feet from 7A to Queen Mary Street-1350 feet from Water to Lilla There are about 16 miles of streets in the Village, and now that the sewerage system is completed, plans call for all the necessary road paving and upgrading to be done over the next three years. No date Has been set for commencing the 1972 pro- gram, as this could hinge on whether or not the County is able to supervise the work. Wherever possible, the road paving will be to the standard 22 - foot width, though some roads will be paved narrower by two feet. politics seemed to agree that the new airport would speed up the creation of an Oshawa-centred regional PORT { PERRY Kinsmen, | Vol. 106 -- Port Perry Star, Wed., March 8,72 -- No. 20 Kinettes sponsor Blood Clinic When the last Blood Donor Clinic was held in Port Perry the result was poor enough to make the Red Cross stop promoting clinics here.
