The mayor of Port Hawkesbury says a response from provincial transportation officials is a good sign for the Destination Reeves St. project.
Brenda Chisholm-Beaton presented a response to a letter councillors sent to TIR reps after they discovered advance greens would not be included in the Destination Reeves St. intersection upgrades during December’s regular town council meeting Tuesday night.
After the meeting, Chisholm-Beaton said TIR officials committed to collecting traffic data through the project’s pilot phase.
“It seems that, from the letter, TIR isn’t closing the door to the idea- (it’s) just ‘Let’s see how the pilot goes and, at the end of the piloted phase, then we’ll do what’s the best fit’,” she said. “Data will be used for the end of the piloted phase to see if there would be a need to install those protected submissive lights.”
Chisholm-Beaton said town councillors will continue to lobby for advance greens to be included if TIR reps ultimately decide not to include them.
