� <br /> � ORONO COUNCIL rTEETING HELD JANUARY 10, 1977 Page 18 <br /> � It is my feeling that there are three City streets VO-TECH SCHOOLS <br /> � �hat would be of major concern. They are Old (Continued) <br /> �ystal Bay Road, Stubbs Bay Road, and t�Tillow <br /> � llriveo Old Crystal Bay Road will receive the <br /> most increase in traffic. More traffic means <br /> � more maintenance, upgrading and widening which <br /> effects drainage. Old Crystal Bay Road is a legal <br /> � axle limit road which was upgraded several years <br /> � ago with P��SA funds. Those funds are now exhausted <br /> for that road and any and all upgrading or repairs <br /> � must come from the Street Department budget. <br /> Stubbs Bay Road is not a legal axle limit road <br /> • �.nd any great increase in traffic would result <br /> in costly repairs. Willow Drive, from Highway <br /> � ;�12 to County Road #6, would probably be used <br /> ,� as an alternate if Old Crystal Bay Road becomes <br /> too conjested, Willow Drive is not a legal axel <br /> � lirnit road and is not capable of handling a <br /> great increase in traffico <br /> � <br /> To summarize, the total impact of a great increase <br /> • in traffic would result in additional cost to the <br /> Cityo P�iore traffic means more accidents. I have <br /> � s�en accidents on Highway #12 that have caused <br /> � detours �ahich resulted in channeling traffic to <br /> City streets trat were not legal axle limit streets< <br /> � The damage to the street was certainly notic�able <br /> d repairs had to be made; and this particu�ar <br /> 1 uetour was only in effect for two hours. <br /> �Vo-'1�ech School - Impact on the Police Department - <br /> �DEcentber 30, 1976 <br /> �i•�y concern on this issue is the traffic to be <br /> generated on the already busy Old Crystal Bay <br /> �Road and its intersection ���ith UeS. 12 and Countv <br /> £'aad 6. [�e have made numerou, requests for � <br /> �t�affic lights at the hazardous intersection of <br /> Oid Crystal Bay Road and U°a. 12 and to add 500 <br /> �to 600 cars on a day time basis and up to 400 cars <br /> �on a nighi�ly basis certainly makes the situation <br /> more tense, Traffic flow on UeS. 12 east of <br /> �County Road 6 is at 9 ,000 cars daily now and in <br /> ny opinion more cars from the Vo-Tech will use <br /> �UoSo 12 and Old Crystal Bay intersection for <br /> access to UoS, 12 to go east or west then they <br /> �will use County Road 6 because it is the main <br /> thoroughfareo If the proposed ring route becomes <br /> �a reality it will funnel more traffic past the <br /> �intersection. T:ze upgrading of U.S. 12 is too <br /> far in the distance to be considered at this time. <br /> �Certainly some sort of traffic control will be <br /> uired at County Road 6 and U.Se 12 because of <br /> � e increased traffic, However, any traffic <br /> control usually brings more accident frequency <br /> �to any int�rseetione <br /> � <br /> � <br />
