Whitby, Ontario – In support of Durham Vision Zero and in collaboration with the Township of Brock, The Regional Municipality of Durham is adding a new all-way stop at the intersection of Simcoe Street (Regional Road 15) and Osborne Street (Regional Road 23) in the community of Beaverton.

Where: At the intersection of Simcoe Street and Osborne Street in Beaverton.

When: Scheduled to be installed November 8. Unfavourable weather conditions may impact the work schedule.
