According to Administrator Yvon Gagne, officials from the Town have already met with Ministry representatives to discuss the matter and it is now in the hands of the Town council to decide whether or not to under- take the exercise. ; Although the Ministry was hesitant at first to get involved in a study with such a small community, Gagne said, the Town has got- ten the green light for their financial assistance with the project. Traffic Opera- tions studies are usually only completed in Towns the size of Midland or larger. Gagne said once the study is completed the consultants would provide the Town with a report that would outline areas of traffic pro- blems in the Town and give recommenda- tions of possible solutions to the problems. & In a letter to the Town from the Ministry, it stated the study is intended to recommend a street designation plan, identify traffic operational deficiencies on the existing road system within the study area and develop recommendations for optimizing traffic operations at intersections.
