Request for All Way Stop at Jeanne d'Arc and Heritage Drive
As presented by Councillor Lapierre:
WHEREAS in 2011, all way stop requests were reviewed for several intersections along Jeanne d’Arc Street in Hanmer and were recommended against based on traffic volume and collision information;
AND WHEREAS a playground was established at the intersection of Jeanne d’Arc Street and Heritage Drive in August of 2012, subsequent to the traffic studies conducted in 2011;
AND WHEREAS as a result of the new playground, the intersection at Jeanne d’Arc Street and Heritage Drive is now subject to increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic;
AND WHEREAS more children play, and more people congregate at this new playground location, creating an increased need for safety precautions, such as an all way stop;
AND WHEREAS to ensure the safety of all children at play, pedestrians and drivers alike, we need to consider more than just the numbers, because even one accident is too many;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT an all way stop be installed at the intersection of Jeanne d’Arc Street and Heritage Drive, or, that if a traffic study must be conducted in advance of installing an all way stop at the intersection of Jeanne d’Arc Street and Heritage Drive, that this traffic study be conducted and the results reported back to the Operations Committee at its September 21st, 2015 meeting.
