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.

between this new endeavour and the
last store. The Mervin Brubacher

"It's a two !Linger", he replied. "I
like the sound they make."
Mr. Godden kindly explained that
a "two lunger" means a two-cylinder
motor that makes a unique sound.
