One indication of its magni- tude is the time spent by em- ployees of Damas and Smith Ltd., consulting professional en- gineers, in the preparation of a city-wide traffic planning report and a functional. planning report on. the Creek Valley route. To the end of July this year, the Damas and Smith staff has spent 13,200 man-hours or 354 man-weeks -- or one man work- ing seven years -- on the re- ports. And they have not been completed. In addition, several hundreds of hours have been spent on the preparation of the reports by the city's engineering, plan- ning, police and assessment de- partments, the Public Utilities Commission, the Ontario De- partment of Highways, those persons responsible for the di- rection of the traffic study, and by members of planning board and city council. This article and subsequent articles, will attempt to review, summarize and explain the steps leading to the reports and the. mass of information con- tained in them. The articles. will deal primarily with the Creek Valley Route and with the traf- fic planning report as it re- lates to the valley route. The idea of a traffic study was considered by a council committee in the fall of 1960. But it was not until Feb. 6, 1961, that city council officially approved the 'dea and estab- lished a technical co-ordinating committee to guide the study. At that time, Ald. John Brady, council's traffic committee chairman said: " . . .we need facts and figures. Citizens have been coming to us with com- plaints; we haven't any an- swers; we need expert advice." Members of the technical co- ordinating committee were: Fred Crome, city works coms missioner, chairman; Robert Richardson, deputy city works commissioner; G. A. Wandless, city planning director; Insp. Norman Smyth, head of the traffic division, Oshawa police PUC bus superintendent; A. E. Argue, urban studies engineer, department of highways; and A. Ward, district municipal engin- eer, highways department. Ad- visors to the committee were: Ald. Brady; Ald. Walter Branch, council's board of works chair- man; and T. R. Prest, chairman of the Traffic Advisory Council. This committee developed the terms of reference for the study and asked Damas and Smith Ltd., to prepare an ap- praisal (including objectives, scope, procedures and fees) of the terms. Traffic -- City' & Biggest Poser Following a discussion of the appraisal with Damas and Smith in April, 1962, the com- mittee recommended to council on May 1 that the firm be hired to prepare a traffic planning re- port which would cost $33,000 -- $11,000 to be paid by the city and $22,000 by the department of highways. Council concurred in the recommendation and Da- mas and Smith started work im- mediately. Generally, the terms of ref- erence for the study were: 1, An origin and destination study of the movement of per- sons and vehicles within the City of Oshawa planning area between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. 2. An evaluation of the exist- ing traffic service. 3. Analysis of the existing problems together with present and future street deficiencies. 4, The development of a mas- ter traffic plan outlining solu- tions, preliminary plans and costs, minor needs and a pro- gram of implementation for the plan. 5. A study of parking in the central business district. 6. A study of the public trans- portation operations including routing, bus stop locations and the effect of these operations on the street traffic particularly in the central area. 1 omni jo Usenet Ht unter tene RT fut AU OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1965 The Oshawa Cimes FOR CARRIERS Approximately 450 Oshawa Times carrier boys and girls will compete in a fall contest of attaining new subscribers, for a trip to Ottawa and other valuable prizes.

Dr. Vipond's daughter Doro- thy is also)campaigning for a seat in parliament, but this} particular parliament is the one set up at O'Neil Collegiate for| the students. Dorothy Vipond is a_ sixteen- year-old, who between student political meetings, represents O'Neil Collegiate on the cheer- leading team. The pressure of campaigning is beginning show. She says, "I will be glad when it is over, late at night with political meetings then early in the morning for cheerleading, my homework is beginning to suffer." Dorothy Vipond will wrap up) her electioneering on Oct. 1, but! father will have to wait until! Nov. 8. to Increase old age pensions from the present $75 to at least $100. This was the plea most often heard by members of the On- tario Government's Select Com- mittee on Aging on a recent tour, reports Albert V. Walker, Oshawa Riding MPP and a member of the 12-man commit- tee. The Select Committee visited 10 cities and towns in northern Ontario in 19 days to hear briefs on "the growing problems of our ever-increasing elderly pop- ulation." SENIOR CITIZENS Mr. Walker said the commit- tee was met in North Bay by over 200 Senior 'Citizen club members toting placards out- lining their requests for in- creased pensions and other benefits. "Tt was forcefully pointed out to our committee that many orrawaconrsst Pension At Least $100, Plea Heard Most Often elderly citizens do not want to go to homes for the aged, but would like to maintain their own homes, where their roots are," Mr. Walker said. "Often they cannot do so on the present inadequate pensions. We heard several times the statement that 'the aging citizen is the most neglected citizen in our society today'."

"Governments at all levels have become _ increasingly aware of the many and varied problems facing the elderly citizens," Mr. Walker says, "In the United States the government recently appointed a special committee of the Sen- ate to deal with the aging problem." The Ontario Select Committee has visited much of Ontario and will now hear additional briefs in Toronto, especially in the housing. field. This committee is expected to present its final report to the Legislature in the next session, probably January, 1966.
