Newmarkets Share To Cost 275 NEWMARKET The cost of rejuvenating downtown Newmarket would be approxi mately This is the amount given in a final report by town planners Proctor field and Bacon who have been making an urban renewal study of the town The study was undertaken to investigate the urban fabric of Newmarket in order to identify areas of substandard physical ec onomic and social conditions The planner said that three problem areas exist Hie first and most serious of these is the downtown area In this locality the report continued many buildings are in poor physical con dition traffic access and circulation are un satisfactory and the business of many of the smaller commercial establishments has declined considerably as a result of com petition from the recently constructed and very attractive shopping Trie report continues it is considered that the preparation and implementation of an urban renewal scheme for this area would do much to this central lo cation and restore the downtowns important function as the major office and shopping centre in the town The report proposes measures whereby this may be achieved Including the removal of some buildings too deteriorated to reha bilitate Included in the planners recommen dation are tin Institution of an adequate traffic and pedestrian circulation system suitably located parking lots and the crea tion of a park from the vacant land adjoin ing Holland River Tin cost of rejuvenating down town Newmarket would be shared by the Federal Provincial and town governments Of this figure Newmarket taxpayers will have to spend approximately 688000 The planners say this would mean ni Increase In the mill rote of 37 mills about per year to overage taxpayer The report also designated two other problem areas In Newmarket It said that these are basically residen tial areas In which dwelling deterioration Is becoming apparent and In which the stan dard of munclpal services He- low that of the remainder of the town The planners suggest that since prob lems are generally scattered throughout the two areas and have not reached serious proportions they recommend that town out extensive municipal maintenance and a maintenance and occupancy bylaw to ensure that rehabilitation Is achiev ed Next week The recommcndllons in detail Santas Snow Ball This Saturday Santas Snow Ball Will be held this Saturday to raise
