The study also shows a stopping sight distance problem for 7A eastbound motorists if lights were installed. Reconstruction of the roadway to flatten the crest at Regional Road 7 would alleviate this problem. The Island Road itself generally "meets the min- imum standards for a low volume roadway," the report states. The report finds that during peak periods addi- tional conflicts will be created, especially for vehicles passing other motorists. This in time will create a demand on the roadway geometry, the pavement and shoul- der cross-section beyond the existing standards, the report finds. Collision patterns on the roadway can be par- tially blamed on the pave- ment and shoulder widths, as they are not built to the highest stan- dards for those who may be operating their vehicle in excess of the speed limit, the report says. The Region says it is not practical to recom- mend that the entire road be improved to provide wider lanes and shoul- ders, but suggests the areas be monitored as the development proceeds. As the traffic volume grows those sections requiring increased main- tenance will be candi- dates for improved pave- ment and shoulders. In the interim the study suggests that grav- el shoulders be partially paved. Areas included in this would be at Stephenson Point Road and in the vicinity of Pine Point Road. The report also finds that a left turn- ing lane at Stephenson Point Road is also justi- Info day Approximately 35 Tocal agencies will provide in- formation and education about their respective pro- grams at at "Mental Health Awareness Day" on Thursday, May 4 at Oshawa Centre, 419 King St. W., Oshawa from 10 a.m.-9p.m. This event is being co- hosted by the Oshawa/ Whitby/Clarington COPE Mental Health Programs and the COPE Committee members.

The entrance to the site of the gaming facility will not create any prob- lems, the report finds, but a northbound turn lane should also be con- structed there. LIFETIME ONB wait service.
