Re: Traffic Count on Chester at Shaughnessy

As a result of an earlier discussion with Council
in Committee about the problems of traffic exiting Chester to
go south on Shaughnessy, Council asked for a report on traffic
volumes on Chester.

A traffic count has been done at the intersection
of Chester and Shaughnessy. This count shows approximately
1890 vehicles entering Chester from Shaughnessy in a 24-hour
period and approximately 200 vehicles leaving Chester to go
northbound on Shaughnessy. Since a large percentage of the
200 vehicles per day leaving Chester to go northbound would
continue to go northbound or eastbound, it is felt that the
actual number of vehicles making a U-turn in Fraser Street or
in the Church parking lot would be relatively low. ‘rhis is
for your information.

FE. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer.
