He told 25 Chamber of Com- merce transportation commit- tee members and businessmen Wednesday that 54 on-street spaces on King and Bond sts., have been removed and 70 off- street spaces at two Bond st., lots will be added One lot, 28 spaces, at 64 Bond st. e., will be open by the end of July and another 42-space lot at the corner of Church and Bond sts., later this year. Mr. Richardson said when the lots are developed there will be 506-off-street spaces and 394 on- street spaces in the central busi- ness district. "The one-way system is quile successful and the streets are doing basically what we want- ed them to do -- move traffic," he said. Merchants at the meeting agreed the one-way system was generall yacceptable but they questioned Mr. Richardson. and Ald. John Brady, council's traf- fic committee chairman, about parking problems and shortage of delivery locations in certain areas. "FEW HEADACHES" "There are a few headaches and we came today to hear what they are," said Ald. Brady. Mr. Richardson said if the merchants could live with the one-way streets for a while and let things settle down to a nor- mal pattern the problems could then be pinpointed and ironed out One merchant, in a letter read at the meeting, said with the one-way streets, traffic is really moving . .. "right out of the downtown area and so are we -- we are not renewing our lease." "T haven't noticed that much damage to business with the one-way streets but parking is a problem," another merchant Said during the meeting. Mr. Richardson said there are problems at the "four corners' with turning vehicles conflicting with vehicles and pedestrians. He said changes in the signal timing will be made to help overcome the problems. A "scramble" intersection is also being considered, he added. Mr. Richardson also said: --Speed studies will be con- ducted on certain streets (King and Bond sts., east and west, Stevenson rd., and _ others) "where the 30 mile per hour limit is "ridiculously low". --Two small off-street park- ing lots with a total of 35 Spaces will be developed on Simcoe st., outside the central business district, --Parking lot and meter re- venue was $78,500 in 1962, $82,- 000 in 1963 and $92,000 in 1964 with operating costs steady at $35,000 per year. Revenue is used to develop off-street park- ing on a pay-as-we-go policy. --Recent costs for developing one-off-street parking space are between $1,500 and $2,000 de- pending on the land cost.. 'We are getting closer and closer to the day when it is more econom- ical to put up a parking garage but at present surface park- ing is more economical." ~--Parking rates in: the city - are comparatively low and should be increased and parking fees should be charged from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Merchants pres- ent agreéd the rates are low and one said he thought most businessmen would concur with night parking fees.) , Janice Ostle, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Os- tle of 532 Simcoe st. s., receives award from Mayor SAFETY AWARD FOR CITY GIRL Gifford for the outstanding patrol .member from an ¢ Oshawa school, Also in the picture is Kim Jenkins, a local. businessman. who do- } nated a typewriter to the winning girl.
