ITEM II

Re: Petition for 4-Way STOP at Oxford & Lincoin

A petition requesting a 4-Way STOP at the above inter-
section had been received directly by the City Engineer and was
considered by the Committee. At the present time there are STOP
signs on Lincoln on both sides of Oxford with Oxford being the
through street. There were only two accidents at this intersection
in 1978. By comparison, the intersection of Lincoln and Wellington
which has a 4-Way STOP had four accidents in 1978. ‘Traffic volumes
are light, the highest approach volume being 1200 vehicles per day
on the west side of Lincoin. The highest approach volume on Oxferd
is from the north at 950 vehicles per day. These valumes do not
warrant a 4~Way STOP.

a distance of about 100 of the STOP sign
and in many cases speeds in between STOP signs are even higher
than before STOP signs were installed.

The Committee recommends that a 4-Way STOP not be
installed and that the signs remain as they are.

A copy of the petition is attached for Council's infor-

mation.

Respectfully submitted,
