Planning For Highway Commercial Development by F. H. Brennan (Member of Markham Township) Planning Board) In considering the many miles of roads that traverse Markham Township it will readily be ap- parent that three categories of roads exist. Of greatest import- ance are the arterial or trunk roads like No. 7 Highway and Don Mills Road linking up main centres of population. Next in importance are roads such as the Kennedy Road carrying traffic having its origin outside the Township and its destination generally within the Township. Finally there are the local roads usually linking small commun- ities. Perhaps for long term sound planning we should ensure that our arterial roads do not run through a neighbourhood. nor be flanked by development which has access to it. However. such an ideal plan is not practical at this stage in our growth. Frontage on such roads can be valuable if ‘properly’ developed; and what is meant by ‘properly’ is a con- tentious issue! Paralleled by Service Roads Today highways are being en- gineered for ever-increasing speed. The greater the speed,_the straighter must be the road, and the more clearly defined its boundaries. To maintain speed vehicles must not be allowed to stop â€" and so reduce the width of the moving stream. The plan for the development of highway commercial sites therefore en- visages certain sections of well travelled highways being par- alleled by service roads. These service roads would have limited access to the main highway only at points having good visibility in both directions. Consequently areas where the road winds, is undulating, or where vision is masked by trees, etc., are un- likely to be zoned for commer- cial develpment at thlsrtime. The establishment of service roads ’will be new to the Town- ship, and will necessitate new de- cisions by council. Roadside adâ€" vertisements and signs must not be allowed to disfigure the coun- tryside or cause blind spots. or contribute to road accident. The planting of trees should be giv- en some thought, eg. the poplar has a bad reputation for break- ing pavements. The service road should either be fully lighted or not at all as patchy lighting is distracting and dangerous. - Bound to Have Opposition Inevitably certain individuals will object to areas desigated for highway commercial. Conflictions will arise where a man has a nice home and learns that some day a service road will run through his garden. Here, as in other cases of non-conformity, Planning Board proceeds with the view that a non-conforming building should not be given a perpetual “life.” The duration of its life will vary dependent upon its probable physical life: its probable effective economic life, and the detrimental effect of its continuance. It is an old saying that “You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs" and ‘vestâ€" ed interest‘ however human and reasonable they may be must Many more to choose from and priced to sell Baker’sSales&Service L'l‘D.

The development of highway commercial establishment and light industries other than on a service road is not encouraged, as they tend to create conditions of congestion and danger. The highway store is being replaced by the shopping centre where ad- equate parking iacilities ensure safety and convenience for all. and do not-jeopardize the swift movement_ of through traffic. The only deviation from the principals set out above is for gasoline service stations. How- ever, only certain sites which have been deemed desirable will be zoned for development, and strict regulations are being drafted to assure that every safe- ty factor possible is incorporated in the station layâ€"out.
