An example of this type of improvement can be seen at present north of the village of Markham on this same Highway, where the Department of Highways is improving the road and redesigning the inter- sections with all township roads by eliminating the jogs. Continuing Mp. Forrest next levelled criticism against the C. N. R. crossing at the 5th Line and 14th Avenue. "In this whole general future urban area there is a haphazard network of streets serving an ex- isting partially urban area and it will be very difficult to produce a workable road system as the area builds up .The advent of the C. N. R. Line through this area has increased the problem tenfold, particularly at this intersection. It was the township's future in- tention to remove the jog be- tween Glen Cameron Avenue whi- ch runs in from Yonge Street, and Proctor Avenue which runs in from Bayview Avenue and thus produce a direct neighbourhood road through the area from Yonge to Bayview. This proposed road is the only east-west through street that the municipality could hope to obtain either now or in the future, between Steeles Aven- ue to the south and John Street to the north. The need for such Referring first to the 9th Line and the C. P. R. Line Mr. Forrest remarked, "This proposal almost certainly eliminates any future grade separation of the 9th Line and the C. P. R. line, and creates for all time a major concession road with level cross- ing which in itself is a. hazard, and to add to this we now have a railway bridge over the level crossing. A fine ex- ample of the C. N. R.'s disregard for future life and limb. Of course, by crossing in this man- ner it means only one bridge instead of the two which would be required if they were to keep away from the level crossing. but of course, two bridges cost twice as much. The C. N. R.. once again to save the cost of bridgeS, are de- liberately locating their line di- rectly through the intersection, the one place on the highway that they should be avoiding.” “Again a future major intersec- tion and the C. N. R. has delib- erately aimed their line through it. An interesting point here, is that the original expropriation showed the C. N. R. avoiding this intersection by crossing the 5th Line a ’74 mile north, and then swinging down over 14th Avenue some distance west of the inter- section. This was good design, but must have been an oversight, as a few weeks later they again ex- propriated, this time smack through the intersection. Once again the C. N R. have saved money at the expense of future human suffering through traffic accidents." , Finally the speakelf dwelt for some length on the Henderson Avenue, Glen Cameron crossing in Doncaster. Director. At this time. when the Metro Toronto United Appeal is at the height of its campaign for funds, it might be timely to remind the many residents of this locality who work in Toronto and who are therefore likely to be approach- ed for contributions, that their own area receives no direct bene- fit from this fund. Charity should know no bounds beyond the in- dividual’s own generosity and his ability to give, but it is also worth remembering that it begins at home. Many praiseworthy Toron- to charities are sorely in need of funds - and so too are many that serve our own district. Mr. Forrest represented Mark- ham at a recent meeting of mun- icipal, county and highways bf- ficials held at the office of Mr. J. L. Cann, C. N. R. Project Dear Mr. Editor:- The Richmond Hill - Markham - Vaughan joint committee might well consider if it is feasible to organize a similar appeal for their own area, or ma'be it should be approached from the County lev- el. As this area receives some indirect benefit from the proxim- ity of certain institutions in the Toronto area which are not dup- licated here - such as the Sick Childrens Hospital - a local ap- peal could make a block dona- tion to such institutions, whilst reseriring for local use sufficient funds to maintain and develop our existing charities and for en- couraging the institution of others of which we stand in need. In a detailed presentation to council Mr. Forrest stated that in four cases the location of the line has been so ar- ranged to deliberately create road intersections that no highway designer in his right mind would create, but, as the C.N.R. are saving the cost of extra bridges, they feel this is justified. The crossings are the 9th Line and the CPR. Line, Highway No. 48 and 14th Avenue, the 5th Line and 14th Avenue and Henderson Avenue and Glen Cameron. Meanwhile, local residents should consider ensuring that an equitable portion of their charit- able donations is distributed to those charities in their own area, which are of direct benefit to their less fortunate neighbours and fill a need in this community. Yours truly, ~ T. 3:03th Folowing strong criticism by Planning Director R. For- rest of the way in which the new C.N.R. By-Pass will cross township roads, Markham Township Council Monday de- cided to seek an immediate meeting with the Hon. Fred Cass, Ontario Minister of Highways regarding what coun- cil and Mr. Forrest feels is a very serious matter. Markham Planner Critical‘ By-Pass Crosses Roads] “:Dear 7%. <le Charity Begins At Home Jitor The foregoing illustrates the importance of the Henderson - Glen Cameron intersection as compared to other minor inter- sections in the area, and again this Is one chosen by the C. N. R. as the most economic to cross." Mr. Forrest stated he was un- successful in his attempts to have a discussion of the intersection problem at «the meeting. The C.N.R. ruled any such discussions should take place at a later meeting. ly the only other through street North of Steeies Avenue is heav- ily built up and runs along the lip of the ravine for three-quarters of a mile which makes it almost impossible to widen in the future. The next east-west artery is No. 7 Highway, 2% miles north of Steeles Avenue. It is interesting to note that at the time of ap- proving the Selkirk Subdivision (1% miles north of Steeles Aven- ue) an attempt was made to ob- tain a through road from Yonge to Bayview but the C. N. R. re- fused a crossing over its Bala Subdivision. an east-west through street 15 made more serious by virtue of phe fact that John Street, present- SHIELDS W/iw the correct shoe for growing children Product of 32 years of scientific research.
