The Center Companies was <br />asked to prepare a plan that would deal with the traffic operation Issue in and <br />around) the Falrvrlew Avenue entry/exit to the Rosedale Center. In order to fully <br />understand the problem, Marton-Aschmaan was commissioned, by us, tia conduct an <br />extensive traffic: study. <br />The study Indicated that: <br />- 60 to 71) per cent of the TI­i 36 westbound off -ramp tr8affle <br />and 50 per cent of the northbound Fairview trtaf f lc <br />(prlma►rlly coming from eastbound TH 36) is destined for <br />Rosedale during a weekday PM peak hour. <br />- The traffic for the peak hour on the weekend generally <br />follows the same pattern. <br />- Perio(,lic congestion does occur on Fairview Avenue and on <br />the T171 36 westbound off -ramp during peak shopping periods <br />at the Rosedale Center. <br />Page I Of Three <br />III ihad '1ir,itit' �; aith %uitr 4(A) kli t irrr.voii% r-;,r,rrx . .,I ifs?") :�i � .'t*t�! • F �'ti (hE.`! -i i {•.';>>fJ <br />
