City rationalizes stop signs on Southvale at Astor, Mallory

City traffic engineers have rationalized the stop sign oddity which has long confused drivers and made it difficult for pedestrians to cross Southvale at either Astor Ave. or Mallory Cres. The change removes the stop at Astor for westbound traffic on Southvale and moves it to Mallory a short block to the west. There has been a stop sign for eastbound traffic at Mallory for many years. The previous arrangement made it easier for cars to turn off Astor or Mallory onto Southvale. But the absence of a stop at Astor for eastbound traffic, and at Mallory for westbound traffic, left pedestrians dodging cars at both intersections. Now all pedestrian crossings of Southvale can be made more safely at Mallory.
