Former Port Perry man helps with disabled Jay Madsen, a former resident of Port Perry, has recently been named Execu- tive Administrator of PAL Reading Service - a tape transcription centre for the handicapped located in Toronto. Blind since birth, Mr. Madsen left Port Perry in Request flashing lights Members of Scugog coun- cil feel the intersection at Regional Road 8 and High- way 12 is a serious traffic hazard. There has been more than one accident there, including a fatality, and the problem seems to be for eastbound traffic on the Regional Road, approaching the stop sign at Highway 12. Council agreed Monday afternoon to ask Durham Region Works department for flashing red lights on top of the stop signs at the inter- section. A request by council last November to the provincial Highways department for street lighting at the inter- section was denied. | In a letter dated December 11, the provincial ministry says the request for street lights is turned down be- cause "the intersection does not meet the guidelines for illumination." The letter goes on to say that if Scugog council feels street lights will make the intersection © safer, the Township can pay for them, providing they meet provin- cial specifications. - Apparently this is the third time the MTC has rejected a Township request for better lighting at the intersection. Councillor Neil Hunter says he has been a driver go through the intersection in broad daylight, and he believes part of the problem may be that the stop sign facing eastbound traffic is too far from the edge of the road.
