As the map shows, Prepared for Oshawa Planning Board by Consulting A Engineer Wesley Dempsey, this plan of a central por- tion of the Creek Valley Drive, has been approved by the Board. It provides for an entirely new road from the corner of King and McMillan on the north to Gibbs Street on the south. Considerable fill will be required over the course of the road. It is being recommended to Oshawa City Council that a start be made in acquir- ing the land necessary for the project. Considerable re- lief to city traffic would result from use of the road. The two paved traffic lanes are proposed, but one could be built at first and put to use, leaving the other until city finances permit. On this sketch, the road traverses the CRA property on Gibbs Street, cutting through a por- tion of the east wing of the building. An alternative route, west of the CRA has also been put on paper and it is this latter route which would appear to offer less inconvenience to CRA activities, versed by the road is alread Much of the land tra- y owned by the city.
