Mrs. Hancey pointed out that when improvements are implemented at the intersection of Yonge Street and Markham Road {next year). the decision could be re- valuated. In the meantime the stop signs on Harding and Elmwood (the north-south Ruggles Aveâ€" nue already has stop signs at both intersections) will tend to cut down excessive speed on the east-west roads, she explained.

Colo-Ml Sander: makes “finger lickin‘ good"® 884-4423 il [York County's New Freeway Stalled By DiSpute The fish and chips, says owner Les Crouch, were added about two months ago by popular de- mand, and are proving very pop- ular. The Seafood Corner in Rich- mond Heights Centre has intro- duced a new service - fresh fried fish and chips-“Olde English" style A seafood man from childhood, Mr. Crouch apprenticed in the business for five years before coming to Canada in 1954, and until he opened his business in Richmond Hill more than a year ago he worked in seafood sec- tions of supermarkets. He comeâ€"s by it naturally. His parents operated a fish and chip To be known as Highway 404, the four-lane freeway is to have provision for some sort of futu- ristic public rapid transit com- ponent. such as a mono-rail or air cushion vehicles, according to Deputy Highways Minister Cameron McNab. MI‘. MCNab agrees With the transportation committee with local township councils that the an offer to build a 1%-mi1e ex- new link between Metro and tension of the Don Valley Park- Highway 404 is to run north- west from the Don Valley Park- way-Highway 401 interchange, as shown in the accompanying illustrative map. From Steeles Avenue it will run directly north beside what has long been known as Don Mills Road. The the Lake Simcoe area is badly needed. However. Metro isn’t plan- ning to budget for its portion of the freeway for about 30 years. Metro refuses to pay for high- ways that it considers are essen- tial routes between cities, or be- tween the city and rural areas, says Sam Cass, Metro roads commissioner. Local councils have been urg- ing construction of the new corridor for years. The land re- quired for the right-ofâ€"way from Steeles Avenue East to the north has been owned by the province for several years. Mr. McNab says the pro- vince would have the freeway under construction in a year if Metro would agree to some re- sponsibility for the part of the road south of Steeles Avenue East and within its boundaries. Flies In Fish From Non-Polluted Waters For Local Seafood Trade and 889â€"5531 name of Don Mills Road was officially changed to Woodbine Avenue some time ago so the name wouldn’t conflict with the street of the same name in Metro. At Newmarket, 35 miles north of Metro, Highway 404 is to branch off to connect with high- ways east of Lake Simcoe, also with a connection to Highway 400. Metro Chairman Albert Camp- bell confirms that the province has approached Metro Council‘s transportation committee with an offer to build a 1%-mi1e ex- way to Steeles Avenue, linking the parkway to the new free- way corridor. This portion would normaily be Metro's re- sponsibility, the province con- tends. When he started the busineSS he expected that his customers would be mainly English people and Maritimers, but he finds that Europeans and Westerners are just as fond of fish. All fish in the store in the mall at the north end of the plaza is government inspected and approved by the department of health to ensure that it does not come from polluted waters. Among other things, you can get fresh BC salmon, mackerel, halibut steaks, fresh lake trout, cod steak, skate, turbot fillets, plaice, scampy, squid and tinned and frozen seafoods including cra‘bmeat, lobster meat, smoked baby clams, frogs legs, scallops, and of course, kippers. ‘ But Mr. Crouch specializes in fresh fish, carrying frozen var- ieties when the fresh is not avaâ€" ilable. Frozen fish, he says, you can get anywhere. shop in the Jersey Islands, and during the war years, Southamp- ton. He carries an average of 65 to 75 varieties of fresh fish flown in daily by Air Canada, “And if we don’t have what you want, we will endeavor to get it.” The length of the Metro link could increase soon if the pro- vincial suggestion of extending Metro north to Highway 7 is implemented. Also available are various sauces and preserves, a new line of Horton’s spices, and packages of dry dulse. Customers are not only local people. They come from all parts of York County, from ‘Metro and even from Lindsay and Haliburton to stock up on fresh seafood. Much of the supply comes from Newfound- land. But under the provincial of- fer. Metro in turn would be ex- pected to build a controversial leé-mile extension proposed for Highway 400, says Metro Com- missioner Campbell. It is said the Highway 400 extension would be more expensive, since it would cut diagonally across an urban area, instead of fol- lowing an existing street. North York Controller Irving Paisley, :1 member of the Metro transportation committee, dis- missed the provincial offer as “cute” and a “political gim- mick.” “We want no part of the extension of 400,” Paisley said. “The province needs the exten- sion, but finds it hard to justify politically aunu . , Mr. and Mrs. Crouch have liv- ed in Richmond Hill since 1956 except for a brief sojourn in Ottawa, and they have two chil- dren.

Amount of the seat tax which has been withheld is $1,194.64. When the electrically-run streetcar service (also operated by the TTC) was suspended in 1948 to save hydro, residents of the area decided in a refer- endum they preferred bus serv- ice to the streetcars. In 1949 the right-ofâ€"way was turned over to the province for road- widening in exchange for a 10- year exemption of seat tax (im- posed on all bus services in the province). Since the expiry of this term the seat tax has been exempted on an annual basis. Richmond Hill, along with Townships of Markham and Vaughan, owns the franchise for public transportation on Yonge Street between the northern limits of the town and Steeles Avenue. Richmond Hill owns 50% and each of the townships 25%. The Toronto Transit Commission operates the bus service for them under a contract. Last year’s exemption was granted by an order-in-council dated June 25. 1970. The TTC which has been withholding the $1,194.64 pend- ing government action will pay interest for the time it has had the use of this amount. The proposed route for the Highway '404 four- lane freeway corridor north-to-south through York County is shown on the map above. Provision for some ultra-modern high-speed transit component, such as air cushion vehicles, is predicted by Deputy- Minister of Highways Cameron McNab.
