experts and allow a resident to redesign a public roadway councillors reached an impasse tuesday after a lengthy debate on whether or not a sleepy hollow lane resident should be given permission to replace a drainage ditch with an 18inch culvert ted wilson told officials the culvert would allow him to complete land scaping and would eliminate a yearly attack of weeds growing on the sides of the steep unkempt ditch the culvert would allow for the beautification of the front of our home wilson stated in a letter wilson said his unique request would not set a precedent because there are no homes or building lots on either side of his property he added the proposed culvert would flow directly into an adjacent stream and would improve the look of his circular driveway but town public works director paul whitehouse warned officials that fill ing in the ditch could cause road deterioration such as frost boil pave ment cracking and drainage prob- lemswhitehouse said he discour ages the construction of extended lengths of culvert pipe which can be a nuisance for staff when flushing or removing obstructions ward 6 councillor ken prentice said council should follow the advice of its staff weve heard from the opinions of the experts already why are we wasting more time on this than we did for the fire truck prentice fumed but ward 5 councillor bob ancheril said council should consider wilsons request and wants staff to work out details with the resident why are we closing the door on a request without consultation ancheril said council inquired whether wilson could enter into an agreement releas ing the town from liability if the road does deteriorate because of the cul vert but staff insisted the town cannot escape liability because the road is and will always be public property staff also warned of impending liabil ity problems should wilson sell his property council unable to decide how to deal with the issue deferred the matter back to staff council finally decides on street name spring vista lane it took five tries two years and about 2000 of tax payers money but council finally put an end to a streetnaming marathon tuesday afternoon it all started because of york kegions upcoming 911 emergency system expected to be online next year each municipality was given a list of streets within the region and was instructed to rename those with the potential for confusion during a lifethreatening situation one of those streets was kennedy lane north a quiet dirt road harboring one household the towns street naming committee decided in 1990 to change the name of kennedy lane north to hakon- son lane to reflect the familys heritage but a landowner on the street objected to the name instead anne nicastro who called the decision biased suggested nicely lane or springvale lane both of those were objected to by the hakonson fami ly the committee then voted to rename kennedy lane north to choko lane but nicastro again objected council put an end to the debate this week and unanimously approved spring vista lane its fifth choice during a public hearing although ed hakonson had said earlier that he would object to the latest name suggestion he failed to show up at the hearing despite rumors that spring vista lane would cause confusion for emergency crews fire chief bill brown disagreed this name wont present any problems to us at all brown said after viewing a complete list of york region road names spring vista lane it is finally prentice wins support to lower speed limit on 9th tracy kibble staff reporter ward 6 councillor ken pren tice won council support this week to reduce the speed limit on the ninth line from markham last week prentice asked offi cials to support a resolution to have the ninth line speed limit heading into stouffville lowered from 80 kmper hour to 60 kmper hour despite ward 5 councillor bob ancherils bid to sqaush to plans until further investiga tion is sought council agreed to have staff post the new limits as soon as possible ancheril said council doesnt have the expertise to determine whether or not speed limits should be increased or reduced he added officials should lis ten to their trained staff and make decisions based on expert- recommendations prentice however said his argument is strengthened by the fact that there is no side walk along the ninth line and by mount ing safety con cerns from parkview vil lage and local residents prentice said the fluctuating limits are rather confus ing to motorists who must speed up slow down speed up slow prentice down several times before reaching main st it doesnt make sense to me why people need to speed up just to enter stouffville any way prentice said ward 3 councillor nick tatone told officials he has lost fights in the past to have roads in his ward low ered he warned that if the lim its on the ninth were reduced peo ple would be asking for sim ilar requests from his area 2 councillor stephen bellerby called the ninth a very different piece of road because of the large num ber of seniors situated there council supported the resolu tion to lower the limit from 80 to 60 kmper hour staff is expected to post the new signs in the near future tatone but ward salon fights the dump with the assistance of his wellgroomed customers a stouf fville hair stylist is helping fight the dumps mario daddese owner of newlyrenovated fame hair salon on main st presented mayor fran sainsbury with a 175 cheque this week to help the towns cause daddese said he charged 1 extra for a wash and cut during the past few months to help raise the money how did his customers feel about that the councillors asked some complained but most were happy about it daddese said daddese is the first local business to donate funds for the fight against the province to keep a dump out of whitchurchstouffville but sainsbury said she hopes others will follow by contributing change to one of the 113 green money cans being
