At Tuesday’s Prince Edward County council meeting, the topic of the new pedestrian crossover in Bloomfield will be discussed and likely decided on.
The decision on a new crossover for Bloomfield Main Street was sent back by council in October as they favoured a crossing at Bloomfield Town Hall instead of the proposed location adjacent to Corey Street due to street parking being impacted at the latter location.
The need for a pedestrian crossing on Bloomfield Main Street was identified after a warrant study was conducted by Jewell Engineering Inc. that found a need for pedestrian crossings on Wellington Main Street and Bloomfield Main Street.
While work started soon after in Wellington, the county needed to consult with the Ministry of Transportation as Bloomfield Main Street is considered a connecting link which is under the province’s jurisdiction.
A staff report to be discussed Tuesday recommends that a level two, type B crossover be built at the location near the post office, but with minor modifications to the layout so that post office parking isn’t lost.
Council meets Tuesday at 7 p.m.
