A110 ° Terrace Review — Wednesday, March 21,1990" - Left turn ope, experiment) - _ pondered If you’ve been wondering how you're going to get home once the. 4 p.m.-to-6 p.m. "No Left Tum" restriction goes up on Lakelse and Emerson — and possibly Lakelse and Kalum ~ forget it. At least for the time being. The idea was discussed at a recent Planning and Public Works Comniiitee ~ meeting and there are still enough details to work out to keep the idea on hold for a while. On March 12 city council accepted the committee’s recommendation and tabled the matter pending further investigation by the Public Works Department and consultation with the RCMP. It appears council will eventually do something to speed up the traffic through the constricted 4600 block Lakelse, however. A traffic - check a little over a year ago showed that almost 10 percent of the traffic at Lakelse/Emerson intersection make left turns, and in the summer, it gets worse. But some decisions have to be made. Should the restriction be placed on cast-bound traffic only or on traffic headed in both direct- ions? Is a sign sufficient or should the city spring a few thousand dollars for left turn traffic signals? Is there possibly another way to get traffic through the 4600 block . Lakelse Ave. a little more quickly? As the Public Works Department director of operations John Colon- gardpoints out, however, the debate may be blown out of proportion. We are, after all, only a small city and while we contem- plate the frustrations of a 30- second delay, drivers in Vancouver never give a three-minute delay a second thought. Perhaps, when the - debate is done, there won't be any changes at all.
