REPORT #: WD -89 -86 gRIF(T: SPEED LIMIT - SOLINA - PETITION FILE #: RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That Report WD -89 -86 be received; and, 2. That the westerly limit of the 50 km /h speed zone on Concession Road 6 through the Hamlet of Solina be relocated to a point 60 metres (approximately 200 feet) west of the Eldad United Church; and, 3. That the membership of the Eldad United Church be requested to reorganize their parking arrangements to assist in improving the safety of the area of concern. ....2 Page 2 Report No. WD -89 -86 A dangerous traffic situation has been identified at the Eldad United Church just west of the Hamlet of Solina on the Concession Road Six. The increase in traffic along Concession Road 6 has been making the situation even more critical and it is felt that extending the 50 km /h speed zone to a location just west of the church and enlisting the aid of the police with respect to enforcement will help to lower the dangers in this area. The membership of the Eldad United Church should be encouraged to investigate alternative parking arrangements as even with a reduced legal speed limit through this area the dangers will persist. As a minimum requirement, the parking on the south side of the roadway should be changed to parallel parking rather than the right angled parking currently being practised. It is recommended that the 50 km /h speed zone be extended west to include the area in front of the Eldad United Church as requested in the petition. Respectfully submitted, Gordon J. ugh, P.
