Since the closure of the only other en- trance to Vanastra. the flow of traffic through the residential area has in- creased, making it hazardous to young children waiting for the school busses. they said. Mr. Bridges said that Huron County Development officer, Spence Cummings thinks Fifth Avenue could be reopened through a lawyer, as the road was meant to be opened on the original plan of Vanastra. "Ontario Hydro, which is accessabie from Highway 4 was supposed to be closed according to the original plan," Mr. Bridges said. He also felt that if Fifth Avenue was closed then the Ontario Hydro Road should be closed. An alternative ' to both roads being closed was recommended. A collector lane could be developed from Debbie's Custard Cup with a passing lane as well. This could •continue on past the,Ontario Hydro driveway as a 14 mile an hour zone and posted as a major intersection. The Association is waiting to find out what support they can get from Hydro before they discuss the plans with the , Ministry of transportation and com- munications. rrqri•n Pre -emergent weed control in soybeans, field beans (white and kidney) snap and lima beans.
