No 4 Way

Starlee Speers, Astral Media Radio - Vernon

After holding a discussion on the issue for a third time, Vernon council has decided to go ahead with the original strategy to improve safety at the intersection at 43rd avenue and 20th street. Councillor Juliette Cunningham says, a four-way stop is perhaps an overreaction to an unfortunate but random fatal car accident. A petition collected by a Vernon taxi driver asking for a four -way stop caused council to take another look at the safety strategy. The city engineering staff strongly recommended against the four way stop because of safety concerns, so the original plan to install a pedestrian light and traffic bulges will go ahead.
