On Wednesday April 12th, residents in the Alder Street area will see two changes to intersections.
The existing all-way stop at Alder and Sherwood is being removed.
A new all-way stop is being installed at Alder and Glengarry Road.
The decision to move the intersection came as the result of a traffic study the Town undertook in 2022, and here are some of the key findings:
- Traffic and pedestrian counts at both intersections were similar.
- There would be less impact on local driveways if the current stop sign was moved to Glengarry Road.
- Existing pedestrian crossing facilities at Glengarry Road would be enhanced by this change to provide a safer, direct route for pedestrians and students accessing Spencer Avenue Public School.
- The changes can be accommodated within the current 2023 Operating Budget.
