The Golf course has already been subdivided on the orthodox Grid pattern rectangular blocks with lanes through now the metropolitan plan of greater Winnipeg comes Forward with a proposal for re subdivision offered by the organization in its advisory capacity. The proposed subdivision is bounded by Lyndale drive on the West and South following the River by Birchdale on the East and by Highfield and Ashdale on the North. The development features curved lines rather than straight for the most part and does away with lanes altogether replacing them with service ways with separate walks for pedestrians. It is claimed for the new plan that it reduces the area taken up by streets and lanes from 40 per cent to 23 per cent. That would mean cutting Down the amount of paving if Only the streets were to be paved from Square Yards on the existing Grid plan to on the alternative design. Sewer and water would account for linear feet instead of on the Grid plan. The number of lots on the two subdivision plans Are the same 180, but because of the saving in Street space it would be possible to in crease the size of lots considerably. Instead of a Standard 50 by 120 feet they would be 70 by 100 to 110 Leet in about half the area and n the rest go by 120. Further there would be 6.5 acres instead of Only 2.9 available for a school site. The metropolitan plan designers suggest a combined school and Community Centre. Altogether they say around six acres is saved by Street Elimina Tion. Would face parkways All the houses would face on parkways or Community walks Sepa rated from the streets. But the word Street in t used they Are called vehicular service ways Thesa would run at the Back of the lot according the a form system. This method is to be followed in Post War Britain. A place is reserved on the plan for Small shopping Centre near the shool. That would be at the Corner of Birchdale and Highfield. About half a dozen houses Are Al Cady standing on the area covered but these would not be interfered Vith in any Way and they Are so placed that they make Little differ me to the general design. Under the metropolitan plans pro Josal. No Homes would be built on he River. That would mean keep no the strip of River Bank beyond tyndale drive open to the Public. The metropolitan plan of greater Winnipeg suggests this layout for a proposed development of Norwood Golf course. The area is bounded by Lyndale drive Highfield and Ashdale. 1 he lower right hand Section of the above plan lies outside the new subdivision and has already been do eloped on the old Grid pattern. Streets and lanes become merged into one in the new design which i provides for 180 lots 70 feet by 110 to 120 and also 60 feet by 120._____________________________ finance committee refuses Elm Park Bridge ownership the City of Winnipeg still does t the feeding of the Bridge to the want any part or parcel of the Elm Park Bridge City finance commit tee made Plain Friday afternoon.
