fac tion has banded together to push through road around the ay says Ald Jim Perri And he said this is against the wishes of most Barrie re sidents can remember people tell ing us at pubic meetings

inclusion of road Those in favor of the road were aldermen Ross Archer Del Cole Nelson Garrett Val Brucker Bill Campbell Ed Thomspon and Ernie Rotman Joining Ald Perri in opposi tion were alderan Janice Lak The Barrie Examiner TUSSdOy October 26 19763 Council wants road on landfill site ing Alex Arthur George Harper Paul Wessenger and Mayor Dorian Parker cant believe it The first thing they want to put in is not park but road said Ald Perri Ald Perri said the estimated cost of the road is between $60000 and $100000 It will delay he said any develop ment of park in the area PLAN AMENDMENT He said the decision was made without considering either the steep grade at Mulcaster Street or the provin cially approved amendment 14 to the citys official plan The amendment provides for parkway road to service the parkland in the area but he said road is not needed to ser vice about fivc acres of land The distance between Mul caster and Bayfield streets he said is only about 400 feet which is within walking distance for most people Alex Arthur finance coininit tee chairman said the decision is an example of the 19th century mind of some city council members We have vertical access by Bayficld and Mulcaster streets with parking lots provided at Mulcaster he said Those who voted for the road can see it as the solution to the citys traffic problems This means he said using the lakeshore as an arterial road and not parkway Ald Arthur said the road is like the Trojan Horse because the purpose is not really known and there is an ulterior motive for its construction Ald Arclir and Tole made the motion to send the plan back for inclusion of road Ald Archer said he does not know how much the road will cost city taxpayers but added there is good solid base on
