ERIN – Town of Erin council are urging staff to investigate options to speed up the process on their Traffic Consolidation study.
The new business from Councillor Cathy Aylard was timely, as residents of Pine Ridge Road were before council yesterday, vying for safer roadways amid speeding and a lack of stop signs.
Mayor Michael Dehn says this issue is not exclusive to Pine Ridge Road, pointing out the study was to be discussed later in the agenda.
Pine Ridge Road resident Martha Hirst was before council, explaining speeding persists on the road.
She went on to say while enhanced enforcement would help, the real issue comes down to a lack of signage or traffic lights.
Councillor John Brennan pointed out things like traffic lights, while useful to combat speeding, often require correspondence with other jurisdictions.
Dehn provided some insight on future traffic lights in the area.
Later in the agenda, Aylard’s new business was given the green-light by council.
The study is intended to address concerns related to road safety for all users, expected motor vehicle volumes and excessive speeding.
