The traffic would be allowed to move in a westerly direction along the street. The narrow street already poses congestion problems, as well as the fact that entry onto Main St. is made difficult by poor visibility and an incline, the latter causing problems in the winter. Some thought was given to banning parking on one side, but no decision was made in that regard either. Council also endorsed a suggestion for the addition of several stop signs. Westbound and eastbound traffic will be stopped on Ann at Marlboro and also on James at Albert. Westbound traffic will be stopped on John at William and eastbound traffic will be stopped on Mill at William and also on Thomas at William. In the latter two cases, the streets reach a dead-end at William, but at the present time there are no stop signs. Chief Ted Day, who studied the streets along with Mayor Jack Delbridge and Councillor George Vriese, also suggested to council that some thought should be given to eliminating left turns onto James and John for southbound traffic on Main St. He said this was one of the major causes for traffic jams, as the traffic backed up when southbound traffic stopped while someone attempted to make a left turn onto either side street. Councillor Ross Taylor argued that these hold-ups in traffic were beneficial in that they enabled pedestrians get across the street. "People would never get across the street if the traffic wasn't stopped somewhere," he argTutle' matter of the traffic changes will be dealt With by council in the new year. In his report for the month Of November, Chief Day reported that 14- snowmobile operators had received warnings, 16 driVers had been warned under the Highway Traffic Act, 12 had --Please turn to page 3
