“The suggestion Glendale should be widened to four lanes is also, I think, an impossible suggestion, given the sports complex and schools,” Irvine said.
Whatt? Put in a few sets of lights. They already have one by the sportsplex and one further down where all the school traffic goes onto. It may get a little busier, but I really don't see this as a problem. What is the real problem here?
“People see the nightmare we have on Sackville Drive and don’t want the same nightmare on Glendale, but it was designed in such a manner that it could accommodate four lanes.”
Exactly. There is room here for another two lanes, but thats it. There are not a lot of roads connected to Glendale so traffic can flow. The reason Sackville Drive is so terrible is because of the endless stripmalls and car dealerships. This wouldn't happen on Glendale because there is simply not enough room for anything else. Homes are close enough so no more land can be developed, but they are far enough so lanes can be put into place.
