Commissioner of Works Dear Sir:
Please quote our ref: RE: Regional Intersection
Concession Road 7/Regional Road No. 34
Former Twp. of Darlington
TRA-RR34-SIN We have reviewed the traffic control at the above
noted intersection and in light of recent accidents
and a field check indicating potential for future
collisions, we will be upgrading the existing signage.
This will include increasing the size of the existing
'Stop' signs and installing 'Stop Ahead' signs in both
directions . Further to the above, tree branches to
the south, on the west side, will be trimmed to ensure
optimum sight distance .is achieved.
We hope this will serve to better advise vehicular
traffic of the stop condition and avoid future
collisions . Thank you for bringing this to our
attention.
"- Yours truly
