Hi Neighbours:
Last week, we met
with Group 2 regarding the pool and community responses. There is a lot of
discussion regarding having a 6-lane pool or a 4-lane pool, and no consensus
has emerged so far. As a result, Group 2 has been asked to provide more
information on 6-lane pools so Council can make an informed decision in
September, and so that you can know the projected costs of the options brought
to us. Due to the request for this additional information, the presentation to
Council by Group 2 has been moved to September.
Council prefers to
have good, detailed information to make a good decision rather than incomplete
information to make a rushed decision. Thank you for your understanding.
Regarding the survey,
so far more than 550 people have completed the survey. The survey has been
extended to August 17th to accommodate those families away on holidays.
I was surprised to
learn that, in June, someone was clocked on our speed sign on Ditson Road
driving 149km/h. The yellow speed signs that flash the speed you are traveling
also record the data enabling the Town to understand traffic patterns. I want
to make it clear that this is not photo radar and tickets are not being issued
to date. The information does, however, suggest that more traffic enforcement
is required and this request will be brought to the RCMP.
Here is a summary of the data collected for June:
•
Total Vehicle Count: 37,040
•
Average Speed: 59 km Average
•
Minimum Speed: 10 km
•
Lowest Speed: 8 km
•
Average Maximum Speed: 113 km
•
Highest Speed: 149 km
•
Highest Usage Time: 1700-1800 hours
Total Violations: 16,068 or 40% exceeded posted speed limit (starting at
61 kmh)
