At this week’s meeting, Milton Town Council voted in favour of implementing an all-way stop at the intersection of Etheridge Avenue and Leger Way.
The Town had received a number of requests from residents in recent months.
Residents have been concerned about the amount of traffic in the area and its impact on pedestrians.
Etheridge Avenue runs east/west between Bronte Street South and Regional Road 35 and is a designated highway with a speed limit of 50 kms per hour.
Leger Way is also a collector roadway that runs north/south between Britannia Road and Leiterman Drive with a posted speed limit of 50 kms per hour.
However, Leger Way’s speed limit changes to 40 km/h along Viola Desmond Elementary School when flashing in the morning and afternoon when students are entering and leaving school.
The stop will allow for a protected stop for students as they enter and leave the school.
