Wildwood Drive
Dear Board Members:
As per your request of the last Board Meeting, Superintendent of Highways,
Graham Foster and myself looked at the situation on the south end of Wildwood
Drive near the intersection of Dennis Road.
As you recall, there was a letter sent in on September 4th, 1991, by Mrs. Susan
Vellucci of 11 Gary Place, regarding the condition where vehicles on Wildwood
Drive would enter the road, going in the wrong direction on the one-way side of
Wildwood Drive to circumvent driving down to the existing cross over.
A solution to solving this problem would be to construct a properly signed cross
over at Wildwood Drive and Dennis Road. This construction would include the
pavement of the cross over at the intersection, along with the proper stop signs
to be placed at the intersection of Dennis Road and Wildwood Drive and at both
ends of the cross over.
Three (3) small decorative trees presently existing in the medium would have to
be removed to provide the proper site distance for the vehicles crossing the
proposed cross over in a easterly direction.
Also, please keep in mind that only one car could be in the cross over at any
point in time, and therefore proper warning must be given to the vehicles to
adhere to this.
The only other avenue for remedying this situation would be to put a permanent
barrier up across the medium at this point, therefore, precluding people from
crossing it. This would not, however, stop people from driving the wrong way
down the one-way street. The only way to do that would be to enforce the
traffic rules in a very strict manner.

Hopefully, the addition of the paved cross over would give people a proper
avenue for negotiating the movement they want, and therefore, stopping all
illegal movements.
If you wish to discuss this further, possible at a workshop,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
