July 17 Staff Report to Council on REALIGNMENT OF THE INTERSECTION OF 25TH AVENUE AT 27 TH STREET
Transportation Section City of Vernon
INFORMATION ON THE REALIGNMENT OF THE INTERSECTION OF 25TH AVENUE AT 27 TH STREET - Information reguarding
Don Quixote Note: When the final improvements referred to below are complete in October to widen the East Side of this street and put in a bike lane, the sight lines are expected to improve. I'm sure blogreader comments will tell us if that actually occurs.
'The first phase of the construction work was completed last year prior to the fall of snow. The second phase, to widen the shoulder on the east side of 27th Street between Highway 6 and 25th Avenue, is planned to be undertaken October this year. This final phase will further improve sight lines of the approaching traffic, whilst providing a more bicycle friendly shoulder on this well used part of the Bike Network. '

You gotta love the ads they put in the paper over the last couple of editions. We are going to close the street to north bound traffic, but we're not telling you when.
Guess we gotta phone James Rice for that nugget, eh?
This effort doesn't improve sight lines at all and, as seems to be the case with road improvement in the East Hill these days, is a waste of taxpayer's money.
The changes made at this intersection are totally unneccesary and make the intersection much more dangerous than before. I know, I've driven the intersection every day for the last 30 years.
What a waste of money-no improvement to safety. Change the intersection back to the way it was before, Determine how much the changes have cost,and find out who designed them. We never get to know who is responsible for these errors! Also,please seek confirmation that staff have scrapped plans for ever as far as closing 25th ave with a culdersac
