At this coming Monday’s council meeting, we will be reviewing a number of reports including some traffic counts done at a few major intersections in Milton. One intersection that has been brought up during the last municipal campaign is Clark Blvd and Ferguson Drive.
Recently, the Town of Milton has opened up Ferguson Drive north of Clark to connect at Armstrong and Bennett Blvd. This obviously has caused an increase amount of traffic in the intersection over the last several months. It was earlier in the year when Paul Cripps informed me that when that road did open up, there would be a traffic count study to look at installing an all way stop.
The results are in and Report ENG 046 10 will be submitted to council for approval and shortly after that the signs will be installed. They are there right now but covered under tarp until approval by council.
As Ive stated in the past, I am in favour of this intersection having an all way stop due to the amount of east / west traffic and limited visibility of north / south travellers along Ferguson.
Please be aware that shortly after Monday’s meeting and if the report is approved as presented, the signs will be active and take caution while driving through that intersection. If you have any concerns about this or any other report, please let me know mike@mikecluett.ca

One response to “All Way Stop Clark Blvd & Ferguson Drive”
This is long overdue. I remember you talking about this on the Hawthorne Villager too about requesting a traffic count. I hope this works out too. I live on the north side of Clark on Ferguson and trying to turn towards 4th line is always dangerous.
You have my support on this one Mike.
