The County is reminding drivers and pedestrians that the intersection of Church and Union streets will become an all-way stop on Tuesday, November 3.
Drivers travelling on Union Street will now be required to stop before the intersection with Church Street. The municipality is installing stop signs in both directions on Union Street.
A pedestrian crossing will be painted on the roadway to help people safely cross Union Street. An overhead flashing LED beacon will provide drivers with advance warning that a pedestrian crossing is ahead.
To alert drivers about the new stop signs on Union Street, portable digital message signs and “Stop Ahead” signs will be installed in advance of the intersection.
The County is enhancing the intersection based on a study conducted by Jewell Engineering in 2019. An all-way stop and pedestrian crossover was recommended for the intersection based on pedestrian and vehicular counts.
If you have questions regarding the intersection, contact Aynsley Osborne, E.I.T., at 613.476.2148 ext. 2005 or email aosborne@pecounty.on.ca.
