It was the Damas and Smith Ltd., traffic planning report which had taken one year to prepare. Purpose of the report was to outline what should be done to the city's overall street system so that it may, over the 20-year period to 1981, meet the re- quirements of the travelling public in an orderly and effi- cient way. N. E. "Nick" Damas, project director for the traffic study, has been a partner in Damas and Smith (founded in 1953) for 11 years and has teen a pro- fessional engineer for 14 years. His firm was not unfamiliar with Oshawa and traffic stud- ies and traffic planning reports when it was hired by the city in 1961. Previous work in Osh- awa included functional plan- OTHER STUDIES _ Damas and Smith have con- ducted many traffic planning studies, including blue-prints for Cornwall, Peterborough, Owen Sound, Galt-Preston and Oak- ville-Burlington. And the firm has done fuctional planning for such developments as the Queen Elizabeth Way through Niagara Falls and Highway 402 through Sarnia. A. J. Sharp, project engineer of the Oshawa study (he is now traffic engineer for Metro Win- nipeg) headed a team of road engineers traffic analysists, technicians and office personnel from the Damas and Smith 70- member full-time staff. In order to assess existing problems in 1961 and estimate future travel in the study area (Oshawa and small portions of Whitby and East Whitby Town- ships), a program of fact find- ing surveys was undertaken in travel habits to all house hold- ers; interviews with some householders and many com- mercial vehicle owners; traffic counts; travelling time tests; and vehicle classification sur- veys. In addition, the department of highways obtained origin and destination information about motorists entering the study area; population and employ- ment figures were broken down into zones by the city's plan- ning epartment; the number of cars and commercial vehicles in each zone was determined from information supplied by the Motor Vehicle List Com- pany; and a complete inventory of all major streets was under- taken by the city's engineering department. As the study progressed, the city's technical co-ordinating committee met frequently to re- ceive, review and discuss the methods and procedures used. "Urban growth in the area has kept pace with the growth of the automobile industry, in- creasing from some 3,000 resi- dents to 60,000 over the past 60 years. This expansion has re- sulted in increased vehicle travel on the city street system to the point where serious traffic congestion is evident, particularly on those routes serving the industrial areas and in the downtown section of the city. The report said that from 1961 to 1981: the population will in- crease to an estimated 133,000; job opportunities from 27,000 to an estimated 46,000; ownership of automobiles from 17,000 to an estimated 48,000; and that the level of commuting travel to Oshawa will remain at some 15 percent. "Analysis of the problems has been undertaken. based on the peak hour which occurs between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday in are recommended in this report. It has been estimated that the number of motor vehicle trips within the study area will ine crease from 13,650 in 1961 to an estimated 35,650 in 1981 between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on an aver- age week day, representing an increase of 2.6 over present day traffic. It has been found that traffic will increase by some 2.8 in a north-south direc- tion and 2.5 in an east-west di- rection. "Traffic originating outside the study area and terminating in the city is some 30,470 trips per day in 1961 with a further 21,795 trips travelling complete- ly through the area. In the 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. period these vol- umes are 3,320 and 820 respec- tively. By 1981 it has been esti- mated that the external traffic will increase to 9,200 trips and the through traffic to 2,450 dur- ing the rush hour period," said the Damas and Smith report. May of 1961. vetsnernrasa ts Nf DUNBARTON TRAIN DA BUT BY CAR IT'S HANDY The proposed commuter service between Dunbarton and Burlington "will likely be of little value to Oshawa resi- dents," says a City of Osh- awa brief to be presented to the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Transportation Study. The brief, prepared by six city officials, was adopted last night by city council. "It is our understanding that a 20 minute service is pro- posed with a 40 minute trip time from Dunbarton to Union Station, Toronto, during the normal work week," says the brief. "At present the freeway and express way facilities are more attractive and more con- venient for the Oshawa resi- gvvtgnennttagasin att NDY dent. Except at peak traffic periods, the time via road is undoubtedly shorter than by rail and the inconvenience of transferring is eliminated." | The brief also points out | that the city is aware that the | commuter service is being established in order to con- duct studies on the effective- ness of commuter service in an area reasonably well serv- iced with road facilities. And the city, in the brief, says it realizes the problems involved in extending a commuter service east of Dunbarton.
