PEDESTRIAN CROSSING

• Dave Ferguson – [email protected]
• Through PB2014 (Participatory Budgeting) Stinson has ~$125k for traffic calming measures at Wentworth rail trail crossing.
• Overhead advanced warning signs on arms with flashers and simple crosswalk at Wentworth & Cumberland being installed at a cost of approximately $70k
• Highway traffic act is changing which will allow municipalities to add crossings.
• Considered a minor arterial road.
• no pedestrian crosswalk can go in at the rail trail crossing due to poor sightline and steep grade.
• Pedestrian activated stop light is possible, but would be delayed for up to 5 years due to CP co-ordination
• Current proposal to public works being submitted in 2 weeks. If this is approved the process will begin to put in the Pedestrian activated light. Jason Farr to work with CP to expedite the process.
• Stop sign cannot be installed because there is no intersection.
• Jason Farr’s office will send a copy of the report to Stinson once completed.
• Part of the report is to reduce the speed limit on Charlton to 40kph (lowest speed limit allowed by the provincial law.)
• Draft drawings of plans are part of the report.
• Roads and maintenance would have stats around how often the guard rail is being replaced along with the flashing posts.
• Jason Farr to talk to Charlton residents about putting in rumble strips to slow traffic.
• Tunnel or bridge option possible review
• Look into re-evaluating the design of the southbound lane to reduce cars ‘cutting into’ traffic when lanes reduce from two to one.
• Temporary signs displaying driver’s speeds will be installed when speed limit is reduced to 40kph
• Next spring (2016) is the 2-way conversion of Wentworth, approved for 350K all the way to Barton.
