  • Traffic Update at Chidlaw and Spruce
    Traffic Pattern Change at Chidlaw Rd and Spruce Way
     
    To enhance traffic flow for Gate 12A, the intersection of Chidlaw Rd and Spruce Way will be permanently converted from a 4-way stop to a 2-way stop.
     
    What’s Changing?
     
    • Chidlaw Rd will no longer have stop signs.
    • Spruce Way will remain stop-controlled, with “CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP” signs added below the existing stop signs.
    This is a permanent adjustment, distinct from the temporary, time-based changes at other gates, and is intended to reduce congestion and improve traffic efficiency.
     
    Drivers are urged to exercise EXTREME CAUTION as the community adapts to this new traffic pattern, especially in the first few days following implementation.
