The Ministry of Highways have recently recommended that the Town consider having only two access points to HWY#7: Ditson Road and Highway #21. Our recent Traffic Study also suggested that these access points need to considered.
The reason for the consideration is safety. The Main St access is dodgy with 3 roads connecting at in a small poorly designed area. I get the safety thing.
My concern with the other access points, and much less so for HWY #21, is design. The corner at the KI and the road to Co-Op and Walmart is tight. Can this interchange accommodate the increased volume of traffic?
With proper signage I don't think our businesses on the Service Road would see a drop in service.
Let me know what you think. Email me.
