INTERCHANGE

PARAMEDIC ATTENDS TO

Transif van (inset) at the
intersection of Wain Road
and the highway, about

The public showed it prefers this
site over two other alternatives by
a margin of two to one, as reflected
in a questionnaire, Singer said.

And the Island View site makes
the best sense because it will have
the least impact on pedestrian
traffic and on residential areas,
although it will use about 8.2
hectares of Agricultural Land
Reserve farmland, Singer said.

The ministry project planner
refuted Ald. Clarence Bolt’s sug-
gestions that the interchange will
seriously disrupt traffic patterns
for people living on Keating
Ridge. ;

But he admitted that traffic
problems at Sayward Road and
Haliburton Road could develop as
a result of the closing of most of
the existing access roads to the
highway.

“We recommended an inter-
change at Sayward Road but the
public didn’t want it,” Singer said.

Also, no decision has yet been

made as to what to do about the

Tanner Road access to the high-
way, he said.

But it won’t be closed off until
an alternative travel route for Tan-
ner Road residents has been found,
he said.

_ The public must realize the
interchange will not, however, deal

with potential future traffic prob-
lems that will arise from popula-
tion growth on the Peninsula and
increased tourism, he said.

“Our plans are not based on
future problems and growth pat-
tems ... they are based on today’s
concems,” he said.

“We're only going to address
current safety and operational
problems.”

Long-term traffic problems
would have been’ dealt with by
upgrading the highway to freeway
Status but the public quashed that
proposal, he said, ~.
