Phone AVenuo 5-2806 Chairman Sumner replied that the trustees had not dealt with Dominion Stores at any time. but only with the Township of Markham. He remarked. and Trustee Tucker agreed, that the trustees would be happy to see the Dominion Store or any com- parable commerical establishment in the Village. Their ohly object- ion was that there must be no outletinto John St., until it was widened. They were unanimous in insisting that John St., must be able to accommodate 4 lanes of traffic before there could be an entrance onto it. “The traffic problem is bad there now", Mr. Sumner said “We must not make it worse.” He explained roads were de- finitely under Village jurisdiction and under the present by-law no entrance for business purposes was allowed on John St. How- ever he felt the road could easily be widened for there was plenty :f room on the south side of the street. He felt Markham Council was not fully aware of road and traffic conditions ; that corner and he hoped to get the Township Roads‘Committee together to ex- plain the matter to them. He also remark‘ed he was sure Domâ€" niion Stores would not like taf- fic tie-ups at their entrance. A letter from the Department of Highways reporting on a traf- fic survey of the John and Yonge St., corner was read and filed. A count of traffic showed that between. the hours of 8 and 12 am; and 2 and 6 pm. 797 vehic- les use the corner on an average. Of six accidents reported since Jan.‘1, 1954, only one was due to heavy traffic. The depart- ment did, not recommend that signals be installed or that the intersection be eliminated.
