Origin
Summary
The T-intersection at Maxome Avenue and Bishop Avenue requires drivers to make a right turn during the hours of 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm. If residents then need to head northbound on Maxome Avenue, they are making a U-turn or turning into neighbourhood streets to accomplish the same outcome.
My office conducted a survey of the neighbouring community and based on the results of the survey, there is support for the removal of the existing turn prohibitions at the subject intersection. I would like to request that a staff report be written examining the existing turn prohibitions at the intersection of Maxome Avenue and Bishop Avenue and whether their removal would allow motorists to better navigate the area.
