.Mrs. Jo'Morrison and' her daughter Lizann
ex(i'ressed• concern that a parking lot on the
corner would lead to ' traffic problems,
parti'cularly,with CKI!iX and the high school
nearby, and, with the number of children
using John Street on their way to and from
school.
• -Mr. Chomyii said the committee recogniz-
ed the . potential for a problem, but
suggested the concerns should be addressed -
to town council or the police department.
The new '.parking 'lot will be diagonally
across .Carling Terrace from the hospital's
new emergency and outpatient • wing,
adjoining a small existing .parking lot.
.Together, the 'two lots should give the
hospital 'about 72 parking spaces.
Hospital Administrator- Norman Hayes
said this will meet theparking requirements
for the new addition: and, in conjunction with,
the existingstaff parking lot at the rear of
•
the hospital, should handle . patient traffic,
fairly :well.
- He said he did not have' the final estimates.
'yet, but . guessed it would cost about
$125,0d0 to develop the new lot, including
the cost of the land, paving and .drainage. He
said the cost will be met from the hospital's
capital funds, adding.the hospital is unlikely
to charge for parking in the lot since all other
parking lots in' 'town are free.
He also•said he did not anticipate it would
create any traffic problems, since all it would
do would be to move parked cars' off the
street. However he said the hospitalis

erecting a three=way stop at the ,corner.
Lizann Morrison said the neighbours are
concerned by the volume. of traffic in an area

worse. Anyone who has ever watched that
