It will redirect local traffic traversing these streets to access other streets in the Glebe.

"We are always looking for more old photos," says Ian McKercher. He adds that the Glebe Historical Society marks its fifth anniversary in April. The 1942 photo of the horse- drawn sidewalk snow plow is from the collection of Dodie Barnhart who lived at 375 Second Ave., between Chrysler and Bronson. The photo looks east from 375 Second, with the old school gardens on the left. Militia men clear snow from the streetcar tracks on Bank Street near Clemow after a blizzard left nine inches of snow (almost 23 cm), Dec. 30, 1942. The men, working under the orders of Col. J.G. Gareau, came from the Lansdowne Park Base Training Centre. The Shell gas station on the northeast corner of Bank and Clemow is shown. The photo is from the collection of OC Transpo, labelled CA-15079.
