'W (b) The area required by the Town for a parking lot must pe defined. (c) The cost of construction and erection of parking meters. (d) The proportion of oosts to be born by each parcel of land affected. (e) Arrangements for financing this project mast be considered. CORBETT: JONES: "That this letter be referred to the Finance Committee for study and rellort." Carried. A letter from the Township of King P.lanning Board concerning a resolution of the Aurora P.lanning Board regarding t~e conservation of streams and advising that the Township of King Planning Board endorses this reso;j..ution and assures the Town of· Aurora the c·o-operation in this matter was read. CHILD: HAMMOND: "That a copy of this letter "be forwarded to the Town of Aurora P.lanning Board." Carried. ·~.- A letter from the Minister of the Department of Highways for Ontario regarding the Town of Aur.ora request for the improvement to the grade line of Highway 11 south end of Yonge St. in Aurora. The Minister's letter oulined the following two points. l• (a) The 500 feet vision curve allows adequate stopping sight distance (i.e. driver's eye level to 4" above the pavement) for a speed of 'forty-five miles per hour. Should tne object neces.sitating the stop be another car or a person, the vision distance would be 500 feet which is acceptable for a spe~d of 65 miles per hour. The speed limit through :.;tfl.is area is 40 miles per hour 1 and, with continuing expansion and development of the adjacent property, will certainly not increase. I tJelieve that the vision is completely adequate. 6TH REGULAR -8-IVIARCH 20, 1961 (b) The bridge causes·a blind spot to the driver which prohibits his vision of about 200 1 of highway, The position of this obliterated portion of Highway is, however, a minimum of 1000 1 in front of the car. Th,e driver has a completely unrestricted view of the pavement for the above minimum 1000 1 from any position on the grades north .. and south., · of the underpass. -~is ion is entirely adequate. . . ~~ (c) The south approach grade to the subway is 5%, the north grade · 3.16%. According to ·our present criteria these grades allow a· 60 cm.p,h. and ~0 m.p.h. design speed, respectively, They could hardly be considered haxardous at 40 m.p.h. {d) The minimum vision distance to the Murray drive traffic lights for a north-bound friver is 1200 feet. The grade line allows a vehicle storage area of 900 feet in length two lanes wide (72 cars) before the vertical curvature limits the light distance to 500 1 , Since this 500' vision is adequate we do not anticipate ~ such hazardous situation as indicated by Mr. w. Langman, the' Police Chief. The Sterling Drug Co entrance is restricted to use by vistors vehicles only, Commercial vehicles enter via Murray Drive, and this limiation may be enforced by removal of the access shou~ the Sterling Drug Co{ violate the terms of the permit• ' 2, Regency Drive is in a position about 90feet north of the.,crest of the 500' vertical curve. Vision :to the nqpth from this entrance is unlimited, however, to the south it is limited to 700 1 vision vehicle to vehicle. As stated :E::e: previously vision from Regency Drive or for a driver on Yonge St. is well above that necessary in a 40 m.p.h. area. We haO. considered the possiblity ofrelocating Regency Drive one hundred feet to the south, which .would allow unrestricted vision in either direction, however, since the B~ P. Gas Co have now purchased this property south of Regency Drive relocation would entail sever property, cost and is not waxranted;;· . ~ U:p.der the conditions, based on.the recommendations from my engineers I regret to advise you that considera.tion cannot be given to your conse,nt. · CHILD: STODDART: ''That this letter be received and fileo. and that a copy of Clause.
