' About 60 residents of Fra- lick's Beach on the west side of Scugog Island jammed council chambers Monday evening to demand that something be done to repair Maple Road which runs in front of their homes. A petition signed by over 100 residents of the beach area had been mailed to council as well calling the condition of the road "de- plorable." Youngsters from the R.H. Cornish Kindergarten class of Mrs. Chandler were introduced to the craft of weaving last week at the home of Wendy Bateman of Council accepted a re- commendation from the, Township roads committee that $20,000 be ear-marked this year to begin up-grading the section that runs along Fralick's Beach, and an- other $28,000 will be spent to prime and surface treat about 1.2 miles of the 4th sideroad which provides the quickest access to Regional Road 7 for the Fralick's Beach residents. Maple Road which runs along Fralick's Beach is a narrow, twisting road built on the side of a hill with expensive homes on both the lake side and the back lots. i § '9 Port Perry.

Residents have been com- plaining about the road for the past few years, citing pot-holes and drainage prob- lems after rain-falls which wash dirt across the road onto the properties on the lake side. Mayor Taylor told the del- egation Monday night the $20,000 ear-marked this year is the first phase of a three- year project which event- ually will see the one mile stretch of Maple Road cov- ered with asphalt in 1983, at a total cost in the $100,000 range. Mayor Taylor said that in 1982, money would be spent - al CIA Y INCOME TAX JACK BEAL (6 Years with H & R Block) Accurate Returns - Reasonable Rates 24 WATER STREET - PORT PERRY Don Forder Insurance Agency Office Monday - Friday 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Saturday 9:00 A.M. to 12 Noon PHONE 985-2232 to pave half the road. The remainder would be com- pleted in 1983 if the council which takes offices in 19882 agrees to spend the money. "It is an expensive project, but we think the three year phasing is the fairest way for the Fralick"s Beach res- idents and those in other parts of Scugog who have been waiting for road im- provements,' said the Mayor. Ward 3 councillor John Williams agreed. He said the $20,000 spent this year will be to remove the poor base of the road and replace it with solid granular material base . necessary for paving in the future. Councillor Williams also pointed out that there is money ear-marked this year for ditching and culvert work along Maple Road as well. Regional councillor Law- rence Malcolm said he had "some qualms' about the asphalt, and he asked the delegation if they would pre- fer the stretch to be prime and hard surface which could cover 36 feet width rather than 22 feet wide asphalt. Councillor Don Crosier, who is chairman of the Township roads committee disagreed, stating that the road should be asphalt as traffic is slow speed and there could be dust problems in the summer. He also" pointed out that with a large number of cars turning onto driveways, prime and hard surface would not stand up as well as asphalt. . Members of the delegatio generally agreed with the initial steps that will be taken this year. Mayor Taylor told the meeting that part of the road problem is the result of a loose subdivision agreement back in 1971 which did not spell out proper road con- struction and design on the part of the developer. He said councils today would never sign a subdiv- ision agreement without guarantees that a road would be built to proper standards. There are about 100 homes along Maple Road, many of them in the $75,000 to $90,000 price range.
