1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The intersection of Baseline Road and Holt Road, north of Darlington Generating
Station has been under review for a number of years due to increasing traffic
volumes.
2.0 COMMENT
2.1 Intersection Review for Illumination
A traffic volume study was conducted during September, 2005 to determine if
warrants were met for consideration of either partial or full illumination. As a
result of the review it was determined that partial illumination of the intersection
would be scheduled for 2006. Sufficient funds were subsequently approved in
the budget and the partial illumination will be completed during 2006.
2.2 Consideration of an AII-wav Stop
Holt Road which presently has a stop condition is considered an Arterial B
Roadway while Baseline Road which currently has the right of way is considered
an Arterial C Roadway per the Official Plan. The traffic volumes and motor
vehicle collision history were reviewed during September 2005 but the Provincial
All-way Stop Warrants were not fully satisfied. Staff, have continued to monitor
the intersection and have now taken into consideration the expected growth in
traffic volumes which should satisfy the Provincial All-way Stop Warrants within a
short period of time. As growth in Bowmanville continues to move west of
Durham Road 57 with the construction of Green Road and the planned
residential areas, much of the traffic is expected to use Baseline Road and Holt
Road to access the westbound 401. Due to the anticipated fulfillment of the
warrant requirements, Staff is prepared to support the early introduction of an all-
way stop.
