Re: STOP Sign on Maxwell at Westminster Avenue

The Principal of the James Park School has requested
that we install a STOP sign on the new cul-de-sac across from
the James Park School. This is a justified request in that
Westminster Avenue is considered to be a collector street and
all other. intersections approaching Westminster Avenue between
Oxford Street and Coast Meridian Road do have STOP signs. The
Committee recommends that a STOP sign be installed on Maxwell”
at Westminster Avenue. .

' Re: | STOP Sign on Brown at Langan Avenue

Langan Avenue has recently been reconstructed under
local improvement and is now built to a collector. street standard.
‘The Committee recommends that STOP signs be installed on Brown
on both sides Of Langan Avenue in order to provide some protection
to drivers crossing the intersection. The fact that there is a
pub at the end of Brown Street also contributes to the need for
STOP signs.

Re: STOP Signs on Cornwall Street at both
‘Intersections with Lombardy Drive

Council recently approved a STOP sign on Cornwall south
of Lombardy Drive. Referring to the attached sketch no. 1, you
will notice that Cornwall crosses Lombardy. It is extremely
unsafe to have a STOP sign on only one side of an intersection
and therefore almost essential that a STOP also be placed on the
north side of that intersection. Another wason for STOP signs
would be to protect children who use Lombardy Drive to get to the
park.
