3.0 RSVISW AND COlRlSNT
3.1 The section of Prestonvale Road from Highway 2 to Glenabbey
Drive was reduced .from 60 km/hr to 50 km/hr during 1992 to
.reflect the urban nature of the roadway. The 630 metre (2,A67
.feet) section south of Glenabbey Drive remained at 60 km/hr
because it was considered semi-urban and outside the Courtice
Urban Boundary.
3.2 Residential development in Courtice has and will continue to
increase traffic volumes along this section of roadway south
of Glenabbey Drive. The residents are requesting a lower
speed limit of 50 km/hr to reflect the higher urban traffic
volumes combined with the fact that the roadway is only 6.4
metres (21 feet) wide with no sidewalks for their children.,
The residents anticipate that the 10 km/hr drop in the posted
speed will have some effect on the speed of motorists.
4.0 CONCLIISIONS
4.1 From the above, it is concluded that reducing the posted speed
will alleviate the safety concerns of residents.
Respectfully submitted,
