representation(minimum is 2 and maximum is 3 per ward). Fred Johns, a
Ward 2 representative submitted his resignation. His vacancy will also be
advertised.
Count Down Signal
At the intersection of King Street and Simpson Avenue, the count-down
signals are working well and make patrons aware of the amount of time
they have to cross with the light. The westerly entrance of the
Bowmanville Mall will be moved in order to better align with the entry of
the Retirement Residence which is located across the road from the mall,
as well as to facilitate plans to expand the Mall.
Longworth &Reg. Rd. 57
Longworth Avenue will eventually connect to Green Road. Currently
there is a T-intersection at Regional Road 57 and there are no immediate
plans for change. There are plans for Longworth Avenue to continue east
in the near future. Traffic monitoring has currently started at this
intersection.
Liberty Street & Baseline Road
There have been discussions regarding this intersection but no proposals
have been made. The immediate area is under MTO,Regional and
Municipal jurisdiction who all must collaborate on a redesign.
Operation Hay Wagon
In April there was a region-wide project whereby vehicles were randomly
pulled aside to undergo an inspection. Approximately 25 tractors were
inspected, and almost half were taken off the road by the Ministry due to
various deficiencies.
Handout

Statistics Report for different types of offences in Clarington. The
