Dear Organizers of tonight’s meeting (May 26)
We are very sorry not to be able to attend but we have a long- standing previous commitment this evening.
We share your concern about the volume (and speed) of the traffic on Hemlock/Beechwood. We want to see 50 km/hr signs posted on the west as well as the east side of Hemlock and we recommend that speed cameras be installed to enforce the limit. We also recommend that access to Manor Park be blocked, Glebe-style, to prevent traffic cutting through our neighbourhood.
The proposed location of the bridge on Kettle Island makes no sense to us. It would be deliberately destructive of a series of well-established communities. Town planners may have had that route in mind 30 years ago but it is an idea whose time has come and gone and the planners must now find another solution.
We would be happy to attend future meetings but we ask that you provide a bit more notice next time.
With many thanks for your activism on behalf of us all.
