REPORT #51
TO: Mr. B. Tink, Chairman of the Public Works Committee
FROM: J. Dunham, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Elgin and Concession Street Intersection
DATE: July 9, 1976
The above subject was referred from Council to the
Works Committee, contents being a petition submitted
by Marnwood Company Limited, claiming the said
intersection to be dangerous. Apparently, the
visibility immediately at the intersection is
not the concern, but some distance north due to
the elevation of the existing railroad bridge.
No modifications have been carried out at or near
this intersection for many years; also, the railroad
bridge has existed for a number of years.
Due to the date whereby we received this referral,
there was not sufficient time to undertake a study
of this intersection including portions of Elgin
and Concession Streets.
I would recommend that an in-house study be carried
out in order to determine if traffic is sufficient
to warrant for example, a caution light or possibly,
a four-way stop.
The recommended study is necessary to establish what
criteria the mentioned intersection would come under.
