Another Costco is to be built at Ritson & Adelaide Oshawa
along with a gas station. Naturally, some local residents are concerned, regarding noise and lighting levels, which they expect to rise. A Traffic study done in September expressed there may be some slight delays at some intersections during peak shopping hours, but over all the study doesn’t forecast any major problems regarding street parking. L Let’s hope the study is correct.
Hart department store located in the Whitby Mall will be closing its doors in January. Stock will be reduced; presently it is being reduced by 10 to 40%. It is unfortunate that another Canadian business is being affected by the economy; let us hope the next business to fill the space is Canadian and one that will bloom. J
