REPORT
The Traffic Section of MTC has requested that Council formally approve the
proposed exit signage on Highway 115/35 from Regional Road 4, Taunton Road
to Main Street, Orono.
MTC policy currently allows the first exit north bound and the first exit
south bound to be signed with the street name and the Hamlet name (i.e. Main
Street, Orono). All other exits are signed with the street name only (i.e.
Station Street).
A meeting was held on June 10th with a representative of MTC to discuss more
definitive signing to help to clarify the fact that the Town of Newcastle
consists of many population centres. This will be the topic of future
dialogue with the Ministry of Industry & Tourism as well as MTC, however, in
order to allow MTC to proceed with local signing on Highway 115/35, approval
is recommended on the proposal submitted (see attached letter).
Respectfully submitted,
Gordon J. Ough, P.Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
