Proposed changes in traffic circulation on Aubrey Court and Ocean Avenue (PDF File)
Mr. Morgan presented the item, noting that it was brought to the Commission at the request of a resident of Aubrey Court; noted that usual practice is to have a petition before this type of request is brought to the Commission.
The requestor, Mr. Claude Brandeau, spoke to his request noting the difficulty turning onto Aviation and back onto Aubrey Court.
Many residents attended the meeting; 1 in favor of the proposed changes, 13 against.
The Commission determined there was a clear consensus that residents of the area did not want the proposed changes made.
