GORRUD'S 410 SffffW AMRN, lmNuiw AUTOS 9#87 .T M-u a M wy 1iujo turns down request for traffic light By JASON MISNER The Champion Traffic changes at Bishop Reding Secondary Scbool don't include a desired traffic light and the ichool coundcil chair says ils safety concernas will only grow as a result. "I don't know where we go from here," a frustrated Sheila Minkhorst told The Champion afler Milton politicians approved at Monday night's coundcil meet- ing initiatives they hope wiil make tradffic flow around the busy school safer. "We're very, very disappointed." For two years the school coundcil and Bishop Reding staff have complained that heavy traffic and speeding drivers have made t.srning west onto Main Street East from the school's parking lot a nightmare. An accident in October saw s pregnant driver T-boned while exiting the school's parking lot. The school council's hope was to gel a sensored trafflc light at the scbool's wesl entranice to control the flow of hundreds of vehicles crowding the school in the morn- ing and afternoon rush hour limes, and to allow students- 10 safely cross the street. A traffic light ai the west entrance makes sense because many of the school's 1,500 students walk to or frorn the urban core ares, Ms Minkhorst said. But there won't be a traffic light. The Town said il would cost $321,000 10 instail given a amail portion of the Bishop Reding and the Milton Leisure Centre properly next door would have lob recon- structed 10 match up with Robarla Drive across thse atel. Instead, ai a cosl of $5,000, next summer tse Town will restrict westbound turna onto Main Street from tbe school's west enirance by instaling a. concrete island. Drivers can turn eastbound onto Main Street and they wiIl also be pennitted, 10 turn into the school ares via Use wesl enirance. Drivera can be finied by police if they dis- obey Use uiurig bylaw. Drivera wiII only be able 10 tum west onto Main Street via Use easî enirance of Use school. Eastbound turns will also be allowed. In~ addition, Use Town has recommended a saal roadway ai Use rea of Use Bishop Reding parking lot be built 10 link it wiUs nearby Harris Boulevard. Town staff say Usis would ailow drivera 10 use Use existing traffic lights at Use corner of Harris Boulevard and Main Street 10 go west- bound. But because il fails on ichool property, iî's up 10 lthe Halton Catholic District ScIsool Board t0 build and pay for Use road, estimated ai $42,000, said Paul Cripps, Use Town's engineering direc10r.
