New Traffic Light at Fernbank/Romina
Hi Folks,
I would like to provide you with an update regarding the request for a traffic light at the Fernbank/Romina intersection. As previously mentioned, I have been asking the Traffic Dept. to monitor this intersection for quite some time and unfortunately, it has never met the Provincial warrants needed to justify the installation of an all way stop control.

The latest review that was conduced this past summer at the Fernbank/Romina intersection indicated that 100% of the warrants needed to justify a signalized crossing have been met. The addition of a traffic light has been approved and the Transportation Planning Department will be adding the need for traffic lights at this location in their 2019 plans. I will provide updates here and on my website as they are available.
Should you have any questions, please contact me at allan.hubley@ottawa.ca
