Town of Whitby Is Being Bullied Just Like Tenants of 1010 Dundas

After attending town council meeting with presentation by Meridian Planning Consultants Inc. I am left with the feeling that the Town of Whitby is being bullied by the Province of Ontario, similar to the bullying of Whitby Trailer Park residents by their present and former landlords.

We are all residents of the Town of Whitby, Province of Ontario in this great land of Canada.  Will the Town of Whitby Council stand up for their RIGHTS, the same as I am trying to stand up for the RIGHTS of the trailer park residents.  It is time to fight together for our mutual RIGHTS.

The Provincial Government is bullying the Region of Durham and the Town of Whitby as seemed very clear to me a member of the audience at tonights presentation by Meridian Planning Consultants Inc.

If the current population of Whitby is approximately 110,000 people and the population growth in a 20 year term between 1986 and 2006 was 12,000 or roughly conservatively put at 12% growth.  How can the province possibly force the Town of Whitby Council to believe that in the next 21 years the population is going to grow almost doubling to 199,145.3 people?  I get the odd total population of 199,145.3 by adding together the present dwellings of 37,260+34,375 new dwelling units and then multiplying by the projected 2.78 people per dwelling unit as outlined at http://www2.whitby.ca/asset/cs-report_PL45-08-mar312008.pdf page 13.

The Town of Whitby Council should consider the page of the presentation "Establishing the Context(cont'd) The appropriate form, type and density of development for each Intensification Area were determined through the consideration of a number of factors: EFFECT OF DEVELOPMENT ON HISTORICAL AND HERITAGE BUILDINGS.  The Whitby trailer park may need an official classification of historical importance.  The Town of Whitby has already lost Cullen Gardens, lets not lose the trailer park which dates back to at least the 1940's or approximately 70 years.  If "The Details 'The Official plan policy framework that should be applied to stable residential neighbourhoods'" is to be taken seriously, just look at the Whitby trailer park and ask yourself if 70 years doesn't imply stable then what does?

For those of you who may be unaware what I mean by the tenants of 1010 Dundas being bullied, feel free to read up on our situation at http://1010dundas.blogspot.com
