in recent discussions of the
Standing Committee on Stipply,
Estimates, Ministry of Tran-
sportation and Corn ,'
munications, the topic of road
maintenance was on the floor.
Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron
presented several cases in his
riding, which he felt should be
taken care of in the near future.
His main concern was for
rural routes as he felt that
although people in urban areas
definitely had transportation
problems, those in rural areas
should not be ignored.
Mr. Riddell said that I often
think that with some of our big
ideas—and no doubt that we
have to do something to im-
prove the transportation for
people in cities—I often think
that we are neglecting the rural
areas. We are really forgetting
where the real bread-basket is
in Ontario. I am thinking now
of Highway 8, where the
development officer asked for a
study to be done. He is fully
convinced that there has to be
some maintenance done on that
road.
There are several towns
where the speed limit is 30
mph. Of course, this slows
down traffic. This road is
heavily travelled by trucks
coming out of Goderich and
coming out of Stratford. There
is no question that Huron
county is certainly one of the
best agricultural counties in
Ontario. We have the potential
for industry in places like
Goderich.
But Goderich can't attract
industry for the simple reason
that they do not find the tran-
sportation services there
adequate to meet their needs.
AU the development officer
asked for was some passing
lanes on hills. It is rather
rolling terrain, particularly bet-
ween Clinton and Goderich,
and all that was asked for was
some passing lanes so the
trucks going up there can move
to one side and allow the cars
to go by,
I am not going to say a great
deal more about this, other
than the only point I want to
make is that the condition of
the highways in Huron county
has a direct bearing on the
development of the county.
With a highway such as High-
way 8, which is heavily
travelled by trucks out of
Goderich and out of Stratford,
why isn't there some con-
sideration to doing something
on this highway?
Granted you have been resur-
facing. I think it's resurfaced
now from Goderich to Seaforth.
It is supposed to be finished
from Seaforth to Stratford
some time next year.
The novel statues at Apple
Park on Highway 8 just east of
Goderich, will make up part of
a CBC television program
known as "Arts Magazine" ac-
cording to Brigitte Berman of
the CBC.
No final date has been set for
showing the Laithwaite portion
The point of the matter is,
regardless of whether you
resurface or not, trucks are not
going to travel it if they can
help it, We are not going to at-
tact industry to Goderich, or
even Stratford for that matter,
because the truckers find that
they cannot make any time on
that particular highway.
There was a study done and
there was a letter written by a
Mr. Blevins, regional director,
indicating the results of the
study. They did admit that the
Ever notice how quickly the
pedestrian seems to disappear
into the darkness...even when
wearing light-coloured
clothing? Pedestrians can in-
crease their chances of being
seen by hundreds of feet by
wearing reflective tape. It can
be a fashionable addition to a
jacket, raincoat - even an um-
brella. Your imagination is its
only limitation. Be safe, be
seen, says the Ontario Safety
League,
but when the time is fixed the
CBC will be making a further
announcement.
"Without A Hobby It's No
Life" will be seen January 1,
1974 between 10:00 and 11:00
p.m. and one shot of Mr.
Laithwaite is used in the
credits of that broadcast.
traffic through the town slowed
traffic down considerably. They
admitted that something
needed to be done. They have it
all broken down as to the
amount of time it takes to
travel from Goderich to Strat-
ford. But they didn't feel that it
was important enough actually
co construct some pasSing
lanes. I Would disagree, as
would the people of Huron
county, because, as .1 80Y, as
tong as the situation stays as it
is, there is just no way that in.
dustry is going even to watht t
take a look at Goderich. Yet I
think there's a real potential
here for industry to become
established,
