One audible signal will
be placed ar the intersection
of 15th Street and St.
Georges Avenue at a cost of
$10,000 while the other
will be put in at Marine

- Drive and Hamilton Avenue
at a cost of $15,000.

- The city also approved
installation of future audi-
ble signals when needed.

The Canadian Council of
the Blind and the North

~ “Et’s long overdue.”
