All Way Stop Requests in Ward 1
As presented by Councillor Cimino:
WHEREAS residents in Ward 1 are concerned for the safety of drivers and pedestrians;
AND WHEREAS requests for all way stops have been made by the residents and results of current reviews remain outstanding;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Greater Sudbury Roads and Transportation staff present reports to the Operations Committee outlining the results of reviews for requests for all way stops at the following intersections by March of 2014:
a) Isabel Street and Whittaker Street;
b) Isabel Street and Albinson Street;
c) Irving Street and Clemow Avenue;
d) Arnold Street and Moonrock Avenue;
e) Gold Street and Zinc Street;
f) Gemini Crescent and Moonrock Avenue (changing yield signs to stop signs);
g) Jupiter Court and Arnold Street (changing yield signs to stop signs).
As presented by Councillor Cimino:
WHEREAS residents in Ward 1 are concerned for the safety of drivers and pedestrians;
AND WHEREAS Ward 1 Councillor Joe Cimino has received several requests for the following:
a) That a yellow flashing light be installed on the speed reduction sign at the curve on Southview Drive just west of Kelly Lake Road, as such lights exist in other locations in Greater Sudbury. Several accidents have occurred at this location as a result of cars missing the curve and ending up on peoples’ front yards, one taking out a mature tree; b) That the sidewalk on Whittaker Street between MacLeod and Struthers Streets be plowed. The sidewalk along MacLeod and Struthers are already plowed so the machine would only need to make an extra short run; and c) That Jupiter Court be added to the salt route as vehicles cannot safely proceed up and down the hill;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Greater Sudbury Roads and Transportation staff present reports to the Operations Committee outlining options for the following requests by February of 2014:
a) That a yellow flashing light be installed on the speed reduction sign at the curve on Southview Drive just west of Kelly Lake Road;
b) That the sidewalk on Whittaker Street between MacLeod and Struthers Streets be plowed; and
c) That Jupiter Court be added to the salt route as vehicles cannot safely proceed up and down the hill.
