SON Tory Candidate Major Mackenzie Is Buxsy Throughout The Riding The Progressive Conservative candidate Major Lex Macken- zie has been covering several parts of the York North riding sometimes from one corner to the other during the same day. On a short term basis the lanes would make off-street parking areas more accessible and more attractive. Additional signs could be erected inform- ing the motorists just where public parking is available. Planning Director Deeks asked the board to pass in principle at least the sec- tion pertaining to lanes “without which the whole thing falls apart.” The board decided instead to hold off until it could dis- cuss the report at further meetings. In an earlier presentation to board members. Mr. Deeks got down to specifics regarding suggested amendments to the regulation By-law 1,000 on parking. Mr. Deeks said the lanes con- stituted the backbone of the report as regards malnw the development of parking in Rich- mond Hill for the next 20 years. The lanes would provide ac- ceSS to vacant areas behind businesses along Yonge Street for parking as well as off-street loading vehicles. Acting Chairman Howard Whillans. substituting for ab- sentee Cecil Williams. was an- xious to know the cost of the lanes, as were other members of the board. Mr. Deeks commented it was beyond the resources of the planning department to go out and "assess the value of the cost it would be to acquire the necessary lands for the lanes.” It would be up to other more qualified persons. he said. but added the planning department would be assisting to a great extent. The report points to the lanes as a long-term proposit- ion the need for which would become more evident as Rich- mond Hill and its parking problems grew. It was the question of con- structing access lanes for off- street parking that provided a major theme for the parking report. Twenty- Page Report Urges Change “The Three Coins Restaur- make the parking more no- cessible." (Continued From Page Pointing to the eventual el- imination of on-street parking over a 20-year period, the re- port notes the 87 on-the-street His campaign is building to two big events next week the “Lex Mackenzie night”, a din- ner to be held at the Masonic‘ Hall, Newmarket, on September 18, and a reception and dance to be held in Aurora Legion Hall on September 20. The report concludes all fu- ture parking needs of the' cent- ral business district must be met entirely through the pro- vision of off-street parking spaces. This includes cost of off- street parking facilities, motor- ist attitudes on parking, signs, and markings, commuter park- ing, and parking meters. Under the heading of "business district parking problems" the report fore- casts a population increase in Richmond Bill from its present 18,217 to 40,000 by 1983. At present in the central bus- iness district there are 574 off- ‘street (30 metered) and 122 public free spaces and 87 on- street (80 metered) parking spaces for a total of 661 spaces between Benson Avenue and Markham Road. In between, Major Mackenzie has been visiting every corner of the riding of 65,000 voters. The campaign began in earnest one week ago when Premier John Robarts made a trip through the riding with Mr. Mackenzie. Last Friday Major Mackenzie was at the opening of the new arena at Markham. On Satur- day he attended a ball game in Aurora, a Rotary garden party in Woodbridge and an evening gathering in Markham Town- ship. Party headquarters are in Aurora, with William Hodgson, former reeve of King, as cam- paign manager. Harry Beau- mont handles the headquarters office. There are also commit- tee rooms at Richmond Hill, Markham Village and Newmar- ket. Mr. Mackenzie who has been Progressive Conservative mem- ber since 1945, is campaigning on his record at Queen’s Park “My interest is in the indivi- dual person," he says, “I do what I can for him. I believe that every person should have easy access to the government of his country through his loc- al member." Hodgson Manager Coffee parties are now being organized throughout the ri- ding for the next two weeks of campaigning. The remainder of the report contains a welter of 8‘s yet un- earthed problems pertaining to Richmond Hill parking present and future. One segment of the traffic report suggests temporary relief from park- ing requirements at least until commercial proper- ties are served by lane- ways. Similar reductions in park- ing spaces would also apply for other structures such as discount plazas, retail stores, and suite apartment buildings. port only space for six cars are required." “With regards to Pop's Tav- ern and Restaurant the same would apply as to parking with four spaces required under the new proposal instead of 21 spaces. “Pop's Tavern is not a pro- perty similar to what it would be if it was located in the cent- ral commercial business dist- rict. However. this is a matter for the board or council to ne- view." One segment of the traffic report suggests temporary relief from park- Costs and types of parking vary with surface lots seeing most of the cost in purchasing or leasing land with minimum cost for developing. Leased land may range in cost from $25 per space per year to more than $200 depending on the location. Average cost runs from $60 to $75 per space. The section on parking meter suggests the Duffer- in Street to Crosby Avenue meters are not accomplish- ing their purpose and can safely be eliminated until such time as they are war- ranted. ant," he pointed out, “under zoning By-law 1,000 requires 30 parking spaces. Under the pro- position set forth in this re-‘ port only space for six cars are required.” \1\lllll\lllllllll\im\llll\lllllllll\lll\lllll111“l1[llllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllll Planning board members will meet next week to dig further into the report for app- roval or disapproval of its many suggestions. Finally, the report urges that a definite authority be or- ganized for the parking prog- ram. It also recommends certain meter charge raises to ensure adequate spaces for motorists parking for a short time and discourage all-day parkers down-town. Such a move would tend to encourage more off- street parking. The report notes that en- forcement of on-street me- tered parking is probably other than uniform. Plann- ing Director Deeks com- mended local police on their efforts but said more officers would be required to handle future meter en- forcement properly. The report suggests meters be eliminated from present off- street parking lots and bet- ween Dufferin, Wright, Crosby and Benson Avenues.
