Cannella. Dear Sir, e The purpose of this letter is to request the permission of the Town of Newcastle for vehicular access to our property from Kingswood Drive in addition to the existing entrance from Townline road south. The I! reasons for this request are as follows : -- Since moving to the above address in June of this year, we have ' become increasingly aware of potentially dangerous traffic situations created by the proximity of our driveway in relation to the intersection Olive Ave/Kingswood Drive and Townline Road south in conjunction with ! e high volume of traffic at this location . - Our driveway is approximately 25 feet north of this cross street on the East side. This creates problems both on entering and leaving our home: - Entering we have two approaches : - 1 Drive south on Townline and turn left into our driveway. This results in us signalling a left turn, which following traffic interpets as a turn left onto Kingswood, with the result that we have had several close calls with traffic nearly ' rear-ending' us as we turn 30 feet earlier than the following driver had anticipated . -.Bast _on_Olive Ave, turn left onto Townline and make an i.mmediFite right turn into our driveway. - --- This immediate right turn has caught many drivers unprepared, resulting in many more ' close-calls ' . (A very drrs ` ally ignore the stop sign at this inter.sectiongandPfollowgusoroundvthe _ _ ner, meaning that they are already very close to our bumper before we turn into our driveway. ) Roth the above situations ( ie with following tE�r our driveway traffi.c:) dictate that s�f> nn in a forward direction which then force:; n^ "" t intn Townl ilia road traffir When , wish to t � �vF• , r)n the few occasions when no traffic is following, wP had earlier drivewa the technique of stopping on the shoulder and reversing into t:hr driveway in order to be able to exit in a forward direction . This we f'�>unc1. to be a significant improvement as far as safety and visibility was 11t (>rder to eliminate both the above hazardous situations we had more re(� ntly created an additional entrance to the south side of our property nff' Kingswood drive approximately 60 feet back from the Olive/Kings wood rrr"i ) owrrl. itie cross streets . We were then able to turn into our driveway fry>m 1(.i ngswood and were in a forward fac:i ng direction for exit on tc> T n d ) in(- roa . ATTACHMENT 1(A) WD-31-88 This in effect gave us the best of both worlds : - we Wo longer were making turns into our driveway that following drivers did not expect . - the additional distance down Kingswood together with the much lower traffic volume ( I estimate less than 5% of the Olive/Townline traffic) made the turn into the new location much safer. - our subsequent exit onto Townline was in the forward direction with attendant improvements in visibility and elimination of a change of direction once in the road. 1 Unfortunately, the installation of curbs along Kingswood drive a few /. weeks ago has eliminated this option for us and we are now back to square 1 - entering and leaving our property from Townline road only. 0 In addition , our 10 year old son is bussed to and from Courtice school . e school bus driver had been stopping :k him up, but considered this dangerous , as drivers were hnot expecting a pick up so close to a Stop sign at the corner of Kingswood Drive. After some discussion , our solution to this situation has been to have the bus stop on Kinsgwood Dr. , just to the south of our house. Therefore, as mentioned at the beginning of this letter, we wish to request the permission of the Town of Newcastle for additional vehicular access to our property from mentioned Kingswood Drive at the location previously (ie. approx 60 feet from Townline road in line with the front wall of our house) . This would reinstate the benefits we were enjoying of the reduced exposure to collision and would also provide an alternate stopping .Location for the sr_hool bus . i We feel that the substantial improvement in safety and reduction in , ential accident situations fully justifies this request . Thanking ou in anticipation, yours faithfully Keitff D Jo and Chris R . Jones .
