Traffic Lights on HWY #7 & Ditson

There have been some complications arise as the HWY #7 & Ditson site is being prepared for new traffic lights.

• there is a disagreement between the engineers for both the supplier and the Ministry of Highways regarding how strong the stands should be to withstand wind:
• the supplier believes, based on their calculations, that the stands supporting the traffic lights needs to be stronger than the Ministry of Highways is requesting.
• a new project manager for Highways is requesting a formal resolution for a redesign of the site:
• we have had emails and phone calls discussing the redesign but now they are requesting a Council resolution.

Thank you for being patient as we work through this challenge. We are also considering how to redesign the intersection and the area so it is less congestive and less likely to have an incident.
