"A Family Tradition for 132 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 23, 1998 - 9 Accused driver is in court A Brooklin area woman, charged after the June 7 accident that claimed the life of 17-year-old Amanda Heron, made a brief appearance in a Whitby Court Monday. Marcia Pope, 20, appeared on charges of criminal negligence causing death, impaired driving causing death and exceeding the legal blood-alcohol level. It is alleged that on June 7 Ms Pope was operating a Mazda sports car in which Ms Heron was a passenger when it left the road west of Brooklin on Brawley Rd. and rolled over, ejecting the two occupants. Police reports stated neither person was wearing a seat- belt. The car landed on top of Ms. Heron. The accident turned doubly tragic when fire rescue crews arrived at the scene. Ms Heron was the daughter of a member of the fire hall that responded and while her father, Paul Heron was not on duty, close family friends were among those who responded. Marcia Pope returns to court July 27 in Whitby. Cars too close to intersections, council hears Township attempts to clear SAN a up Queen St. parking hazards By John B. McClelland Port Perry Star ~ Scugog council will attempt to improve the sightlines for motorists at two busy downtown inter- sections. But to make that hap- pen, the number of parking spots along Queen St.may have to be reduced. And parking spots on the street in the downtown shopping district are already at a premium. A council committee will take a look at the sightlines at two down- town intersections -- Queen and Perry and Queen and Water Streets. At both intersections, vehi- cles parked on Queen St. often interfere with the visibility of motorists entering the intersection. It is especially difficult at Queen and Perry, where motorists on southbound Perry St. must inch out onto Queen St. to deter- mine if there is oncoming traffic. Council was told Monday that the Highway Traffic Act demands that parking spaces be 10 metres (32 feet) from the intersection, unless other- wise designated by the local municipality. Clearly the parking spots at the two Port Perry intersec- tions are not back 32 feet, and therefore are in con- travention of the act. Ward 2 Councillor Ken Carruthers said Monday that to make the two inter- sections safer for motorists, council will have to move the parking spots back. That will mean eliminating spaces on Queen St. It was suggested that the visibility problem could be corrected if tickets were issued to vehicles too close to the intersections in the no parking zone, especially courier and other delivery trucks at Perry and Queen Streets. Queen St. merchants have been told by courier and delivery drivers they will simply stop making deliveries if they start get- ting ticketed, councillors heard. Mayor Doug Moffatt, who has a working back- ground for the ndtional courier industry in Canada, said delivery drivers have no more right to break the law by double parking or stopping in no parking spots than any other motorist. The mayor said that if any merchant feels deliv- ery drivers won't make the delivery if they may get ticketed, the merchant should report it to the com- pany head office. The long discussion about parking and sight- line problems along Queen St. started at last Monday's works committee meeting when Gareth Grainger, the rep from the local Business Improvement Area, sug- gested the township mark the no parking areas at the Queen and Water intersection with white paint on the pavement. Mr. Grainger said visi- tors and tourists may not notice the elevated no- stopping signs on the posts and if they get a ticket on their windshield, they may not return to Port Perry. Mr. Grainger said motorists are less inclined to park in a no parking spot if the pavement is covered with white paint. He also suggested that the crosswalk areas in front of stop bars at inter- sections be painted with cross-hatching. The committee is going to examine that idea as well.
