The Region of Queens is going to make Cameron’s Corner in Liverpool an all-way stop. (Rick Conrad)<\/p><\/div>\n

Drivers in downtown Liverpool will soon encounter another three-way stop on Main Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

The changes are being made at the intersection of Main and Old Port Mouton Road, commonly known as Cameron\u2019s Corner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to concerns from residents and councillors about safety in the area, the region\u2019s traffic authority plans to turn it into an all-way stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another busy intersection, the three-way stop at Main and Market streets, has been the scene of many close calls between pedestrians and motorists over the years.<\/span><\/p>\n

A report prepared by consultants CBCL in June 2024 suggested a different option at Cameron\u2019s Corner. It recommended that Main Street be turned into a throughfare, with a stop sign on Old Port Mouton Road. They also suggested narrowing the east Main Street approach and realigning parts of the intersection.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The intersection is a busy one. It has one stop sign on Main Street at the eastbound approach, but the traffic coming from Old Port Mouton Road has the right-of-way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The consultants said that it\u2019s more intuitive for drivers on Main Street to have the right of way, with motorists on the minor road approach of Old Port Mouton required to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam Grant is the Region of Queens director of infrastructure. He\u2019s also the municipality\u2019s traffic authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told councillors at their regular meeting last week that the changes suggested by CBCL would cost about $120,000, an expense not included in this year\u2019s operating budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant said that that part of Main Street is going to be turned into a three-way stop anyway with the planned work on the $21-million Mount Pleasant services extension and housing development at the other end of Main. And CBCL\u2019s other recommendations for realigning the intersection will be included.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo the intention is, once it’s converted to an all-way stop, it would stay an all-way stop in perpetuity, unless it was determined through further analysis that it wasn’t necessary and that it could be reverted to a one-way stop control,” Grant said. “The geometry realignment would be incorporated into next year’s capital work, the all-way stop would stay in that mannerism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Councillors can make suggestions to the traffic authority, but traffic changes are an administrative matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Scott Christian told QCCR that with the water and sewer upgrades planned with the Mount Pleasant work next year, some of the consultants\u2019 changes will happen anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s a good piece of decision making, not to rip up and change that sidewalk to then next year, rip it up when we’re replacing the water and sewer through there. \u2029So with the recommendations from the CBCL report, we’ll make those alterations to the curb when we do the water-sewer work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant told councillors that Cameron\u2019s Corner will be turned into an all-way stop this fall, with the appropriate signage to give drivers advance notice of an upcoming stop. He said the region will also let people know through social media in the next few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n
