Correspondence dated October 29, 1999 from Newcastle Ratepayers Assoc.: Proposed amending By-law 1101 REPORT NO.: WD-06-00 PAGE 2 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Correspondence dated October 29, 1999 from the Newcastle Ratepayers Association requested consideration of an all-way stop at the intersection of Beaver Street South and Edward Street East for the following reasons: . Dirt on the road; . Use by school children; and . Trucks going through the stop signs. 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 New Residential Development During 1999, Edward Street was extended easterly from Beaver Street into "Clarnew, Phase I", a new residential subdivision. Edward Street was constructed as a collector roadway with a pavement width of 10.5 metres while Beaver Street is the minor street with a pavement width of 8.2 metres. Due to the construction, there has been some mud on the road but the situation is being monitored by Public Works to ensure the Developer fulfils their obligation to provide regular road cleaning maintenance. One motor vehicle collision occurred during 1999 when an eastbound commercial pickup truck failed to stop for the stop sign and struck a northbound vehicle. 3.2 Right-of-Way Control To ensure proper traffic flow and to ease driver frustration, the major roadway should always be given the through road designation over the minor street. At the present time, north-south traffic on Beaver Street South (minor street) has the right-of-way and traffic on Edward Street (collector roadway) must stop. In anticipation of Edward Street becoming the major volume street as new homes are occupied, a reversal of the stop controls should be considered. If such a reversal were to occur, a temporary all-way stop should be implemented for a three-month period as required in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices published by the Province of Ontario. The most appropriate time for the change over would be Friday, March 31,2000 to Monday, July 3, 2000. This would implement the all-way stop as the winter season ends and create the Edward Street "through road" 1102 REPORT NO.: WD-06-00 PAGE 3 designation after the school year ends on June 28, 2000. Signing would be provided at the intersection advising motorists of the dates of right-of-way changes. 3.3 Pedestrian Safety Pedestrian safety will be monitored by way of adult crossing guard warrant studies to ensure school children do not have any major delays in crossing Edward Street. If the right-of-way changes are approved by Council, it should be published in the local papers and Newcastle Public School should be encouraged to advise parents and students of the changes in the school newsletter. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS 4.1 From the above, it is concluded that Edward Street East, being the major street, should have the right-of-way over Beaver Street South, being the minor street at this intersection. 4.2 That Traffic By-law 91-58 should be amended to reflect the right-of-way change and additional right-of-way controls on the new streets of "Clamew, Phase I".
