Re: Traffic Signals at Oxford and Prairie

A request had been received from Alderman Keryluk to
consider the installation of traftic signals at the above inter-
section due to the difficulty of crossing Prairie Avenue from
Oxford Street. The Committee considered the traffic counts and
accident record in calculating the warrants for a traffic signal.
According to the standard calculation for signal warrants, this
intersection receives 96-out of a required minimum of 100 pcints
required for signals. This means that it is very close to the
point where signals could be considered by Council. -This cal-
culation takes into consideration the fact that there would bea
some traffic which would he diverted to this intersection from
other intersections once signals were installed.

Costs of a set of traffic signals would be about
$30,000. The Committee recommends that signals mot be installed
in 1980 due to a high capital budget already plamned for the
coming year and due to the fact that the minimum requirements
for signals -have not.been met.

Re: No Stopping signs on east side of Donald Street

A memorandum had heen received from the By-law Officer
indicating the difficulty in enforcing the existing No Parking
sign on the east side of Donald Street adjacent to the Empire
Restaurane. Many of the drivers ticketed claim that they were
not parking but simply stopping. Passage through this narrow
road is very awkward if any kind of a vehicle is parked near
the intersection and particularly if it is a large vehicle such
as avan. It was felt that an extension of the vellow curb with
No Stopping signs along the narrowest part of ths road from
McAllister to about 30 m south would help to eliminate. this
problem. The remainder of the street could remain as a No
Parking zone as at the present time.

The Committee recommends that No Stopping At Any Time
be implemented along the éast Side of Donald Street from McAllister
Avenue to a point approximately 30 m south.
