Calling Exeter "one of the
best Shopping areas in the
region" Tatasciore said th.
purpose behind the study
was to determine "what's
good about shopping in Ex-
eter' and how it can be im-
proved.
The two thrusts in the
preliminary report will be
the condition of the facades
of the various buildings and
the provision of adequate
parking. -
With .reference to the
parking. Tatasciore said the
town and businessmen
should work together in its
provision. -
He said -one -of the aims of
the study has been to put
down in some concrete form
various proposals that have
been around for a few years.
Tatasciore sajd a B.A.
thesis by- David Mackie
proposed parking be
eliminated from a portion of
main .street,. which. was a.
move he didn't believe was
feasible in the town.
Ted Butler brought up the
subject of parking meters
for main street calling them
a "necessary evil."
The Installation of the
meters would force parking
off the main street and deter
tourist traffic. according to
George Severn.
Tatasciore said his com-
pany had conducted a study
on the state of the down-
town core and concluded
that the off-street parking
should be a walkable dis-
tance. -
He said the people would
be more inclined to stay in
the core area if walking -dis-
tances from parking were
kept to a minimum.
The Toronto planner term-
ed the length of the existing
business core a "walkable
distance".
He -cautioned =-that==be4h-
pedestrian. and auto traffic
is needed for a successful
business core. -
One move that could help
the core would be the widen-
ing of the sidewalks and sub-
sequent narrowing of- Main
street 'down to . the legal
minimum.
This would slow down
traffic which would force
people to take a longer look
at the eore. Tatasciore
stated.
Gerry Gray of the BIA.
emphasised his group was
not interested in the
'rerouting of traffic as some
people had said. He said the
group is interested only in
what can be done to improve
the cofeat ea,, •. • --
Gray told the meeting he
hoped the study when it's
done doesn't. "sit on the
shelf."
He said there is a need for
long range planning in the
core area. -
Tatasciore- told the
meeting there . are govern-
ment grants .and loans
available for downtown im-
provements but "in order to
get funding from the various
sources ... there has to be a
concensus of what people
want but frankly I don't see
it yet. but I do feel it's com-
ing.'• _
Members of the associa-
tion are paying $16.000 over
a two year period for the
study. '
