The coroner's jury made the recommendation in March after an inquest was held into the death of Whitby resident Gerald Victor Mc- Dougall. McDougall, 46, the jury decided, died on October 13, 1980 as the result of a motor vehicle accident at the inter- section. In his report to council, regional public works com- missioner Bill Twelvetrees said that the coroner's report showed that Mc- Dougall was impaired at the time of the accident. "The collision history for this intersection for the previous three years shows that there has been only one additional right angle collision, which also in- volved an impaired driver," Twelvetrees said in his report. "Sight lines in all direc- tions are unrestricted and the signing at the intersec- tion is proper and adequate."
