thursday sept 25 1969 the tribune page 3 begin construction in 1971 of new claremont bypass road 1 million project claremont ontario county council has approv ed the construction of a 1021450 twolane bypass road to skirt the easterly edge of claremont from a point 2000 feet south of the village rejoining cone 5 at the pickeringuxbridge townline harry rammler of the county engineering depart ment said that while rati fication of the project is still required from the de partment of highways he anticipates no problem in this regard work expected to begin in 1970 will include the purchase of properties re location of utilities and clearing of land actual construction will likely start in 1971 with an over pass to be built at the site of the cnr line mr rammler said that due to the magnitude of the venture it could not be completed in one year the entire cost will not be borne by the county however in fact its share will be reduced to about 250000 financial subsi dies will come from the railway transport com mission 444800 cana dian pacific railway 28- 800 dept of highways 296895 and others 500 the bypass route is one of two plans that had been recommended for the area mr rammler said to wid en the existing brock road through the centre of claremont a shorter dis tance 12 miles would have been cheaper 1148- 300 but highly impractical since so many properties extend up to and over the a map drawn to scale shows the plan of the new bypass road to skirt the village of claremont work on the project will begin next year with actual construction to start in 1971 road allowance besides mr rammler said we hated to remove all those lovely trees while throughtraffic will be removed from the village itself claremont residents will benefit in an other way the present brock road will be im proved to the satisfaction of county engineers and handed back to pickering township mr rammler anticipates no problem with regard to traffic flow editors mail while construction is un derway he noted however that some slight incon venience may be experi enced when the new by pass is linked up with the brock road north and south of the village adequate signs will be erected to inform motorists of the correct route to reach the business area of the claremont community mr rammler concluded commend go steady policy of uxbridge council dear sir i am appalled at the sup port you are giving to the revenue properties cen- tury city promotion it is however heartening to see that the uxbridge council are demonstrating mature judgement and insight by requiring more informa tion and study of this pro ject the people of ux bridge and their neighbors will probably never know prenatal classes for expectant mothers a course of weekly classes beginning in richmond hill 7 october

submissions and discus sion could its municipal board in advance of an of ficial plan allow century city not likely could the official plan include cen tury city if it did i am sure questions of informa tion leakage would be sug gested by an active official opposition but suppose revenue properties are lucky or persuasive and obtain ap proval what have the pre sent residents of uxbridge to gain from the urban de velopment of their town ship perhaps employment would be available for a few who had the necessary new skills some localbusi- ness would prospeft new industries could provide assessment but the disadvantages seem to far outbalance the advantages small business lacking capital to expand could not compete with the giants in the new mass market industrial assessment would not keep pace with residential building why would major industries considering sound manu facturing manage- ment principles locate in uxbridge township are there great supplies of water minerals skilled
