View Plans For New Orono Entrances
Plans for improved Orono entrances were presented by a Department of Highways representative. North and south entrances would add deceleration lanes and islands to separate traffic, with smoother curves and wider incoming lanes. Traffic into Orono averages 375 daily at the north and about 500 daily at the south. Road officials note a Port Hope division letter opposing the Irwin subdivision access plan. The trustees will present the plans to the Township road committee.
