With less than a week to go before a contract is awarded for the entire reconstruction of Queen Street, council was presented with a petition signed by 23 business people and 248 residents. Members of council reacted with anger and disappointment over the fact that the objectors had waited until the last minute to voice their concerns. The objectors were reminded that the reconstruction of Queen Street, including angle parking being replaced with parallel parking on the north side, had been public knowledge for almost a year. A businesses spokesperson said that replacing the parallel parking would result in the loss of 13 parking spots and it would have a serious detrimental effect on the business community. Council eventually voted unanimously to take no action on the petition and allow the Queen Street reconstruction to proceed as planned. An official opening ceremony for the completed project was held in September 1980. Angle parking eliminated from Queen Street Historically speaking . . . by J. peter Hvidsten Angle parking, from Water Street to Perry Street, was eliminated in 1980 during a complete reconstruction of Queen Street, despite objections voiced by the local business people. 15930 Old Simcoe Rd., Port Perry www.facebook.com/snapfitnessportperry 905-985-7627 “PICK A DEAL” Mention Deal Number when you come to the gym Noon to 7pm Monday to Friday (staffed hours) or call Snap Port Perry at 905 985 7627.
