No 3-way stop for Ethel It appears that Ethel should not be expecting the "three-way stop" it petitioned council for any time soon. Before leaving the position as engineer for the County of Huron, Sandra Lawson explained that the request and petition had been passed by council and forwarded on to the roads department. The county considers the three- way stop to be a summer project Lawson explained, and sometime during the summer, would have one of its employees do a traffic study to see if the intersection met the province's criteria. If the volume of traffic warranted the three-way stop the county would install it. Questions regarding the status of the signage at the intersection were raised at the recent COP meeting held in Ethel with particular concern now that children will be out once again waiting for buses. One resident at the meeting noted the volume of traffic and the speed at which vehicles travel through the hamlet. As Sandra Lawson is no longer engineer for the county of Huron, inquiries were referred to Bob Cluff of the county's road department. Cluff stated in a telephone-- conversation last week that the only information he had on file pertaining to a three-way stop in Ethel dated back to 1994, a handwritten request from a resident. When asked how long after the county received copies of the original documents the process could begin. Cluff explained that he felt there would be no movement on the issue until a new engineer was hired, most likely not until after the new year. An Ethel resident contacted Brad Knight, treasurer of Huron Easrand requested that copies of any correspondence with the county regarding the three-way stop be forwarded to the roads department.
