on his way to a markham town council meeting at buttonville thursday when he came upon the scene of a twocar collision at 17th avenue and the 5th concession that took the life of a 59 year old toronto woman why are there no traffic lights as chairman of the regions engineering com mittee hes been asked this question dozens of times and he was asked again saturday by the tribune his reply was short no money when traffic counts were taken at this corner last fall it qualified for automatic signals however with the fiscal year drawing to a close there were no funds available to cover the cost therefore the installation had to wait until 1980 a set of traffic lights can cost up to 25000 he explained with the province subsidizing more than half the expense this means the region must prove theyre needed provincial warrants are tough he said ron moran admits hes sympathetic to the concerns of people in this regard but as cold as it may seem he claims he also must be concerned with costs once the well goes dry there isnt any more he stated he noted too that while in tersecting roads at 17th avenue are a worry to many people it must also be understood that other areas equally as dangerous must also be con sidered mr moran said he expects lights to be installed at 17th and warden very soon but not at kennedy and 17th or 17th and mccowan the latter two do not qualify the
