2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 Prior to November, 1997, the intersection of High Street
and Meadowview Boulevard was a 90 degree curve with no
right-of-way control required. During November, 1997,
access was required into the new residential development
by extending the roadways to the north and west of the
intersection. A temporary all-way stop was implemented
to alert drivers to this change to the existing
conditions.

3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 The all-way-stop control was introduced as a temporary measure
for a period of at least three months in accordance with the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, to reflect a
required right-of-way change.
3.2 Staff have reviewed the intersection alignment, traffic
volumes, sight lines and future development in the area. The
all-way stop is not warranted on a permanent basis as it does
not meet the Provincial guidelines for traffic volumes.
3.3 The lack of sidewalks on High Street is a concern, but traffic
flow or speed is not expected to change much as a result of
High Street being extended one block northerly. There is
presently an all-way stop at the south end of Lord Elgin
Public School at the intersection of High Street and Fourth
Street. Reconstruction of High Street to full urban standards
adjacent to the school is in the four year forecast and was
tentatively scheduled for the year 2000. This project is
being financed largely through development charges and is now
proposed for 1999. The roadway adjacent to the school will be
reconstructed with sidewalks before High Street is extended
northerly to Longworth Avenue.
3.4 To remove the temporary all-way stop, staff's recommendation
is to designate High Street as the through street with stop
signs placed on Meadowview Boulevard. The stop signs on
Meadowview Boulevard are required due to the reduced sight
distance for westbound drivers rounding the curve on
Meadowview Boulevard

4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 From the above, it is concluded that the temporary all-way
stop should be removed.
