SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS AND COMMENTS:

1) Restricting left turn movements at Lougheed and Hastings
in the morning rush hour as suggested in the letter.

This suggestion could be implemented with signage only at
the intersection noted however:
policing the intersection would be difficult
placing barrier's or a median is not feasable for two
hours only
industrial area would suffer ag truck traffic would have
to enter off of Westwood adding to an already congested
Lougheed /Westwood intersection in the AM peak hours
2) Restricting right curn movements at Westwood and Davies
in the afternoon rush hour as suggested.

This suggestion can also be implemented with signage only
with the following comments:
would also be hard to police
again the industrial area traffic suffers by having to
take a circuitous route in the evening rush hour
access to the townhouse complex at the corner of Fox and
Davies would mean having to travel an additional 2 KM
to get home

3) Barricading Davies at Raliegh as suggested in the letter.
This suggestion is by far the most radical as the

repercusaions would be felt by all who live and work in this
area. The following are reasons that this suggestion and the

two noted above should not he implemented:

emergency response time would increase to the west and
east end of Davies

the industrial area east of the barricade would
certainly oppose any idea of closing the road

as the road is classified as a collector, the RTAC
manual states that this type of road ig to carry traffic
between local and arterial roads, the two arterial
streets being Lougheed and Westwood

also from the RTAC manual, traffic volumes can range
between 1000 and 12,000 vehicles per day for this road
classification (see attached excerpt from RTAC manual)
