It was decided in a meeting with staff and councillors to send a letter to residents requesting consideration of their neighbours when parking, and asking that larger vehicles be parked further up the drive. The Town will spend $20,000 this year to tell drivers to slow down on Mountainview Rd. Halton Hills council agreed to spend the money to purchase and install two VATCS (Vehicle Activated Traffic Calming Sign) signs that will tell drivers theyre going too fast. The sign uses microwave radar to measure approach- ing vehicle speeds, and is activated when a speed threshold is exceeded. The sign will read slow down. One sign will be placed on the north side of Summit Lane, facing northbound Mountainview traffic. The sec- ond will be placed just south of Sargent Rd., facing southbound traffic. Other jurisdictions have experienced success with these roads signs. In Brantford last year, town staff noted a 6-7 per cent reduction in average speed. Ward 4 Councillor Bob Inglis motioned to buy the VATCS signs. Its been a considerable time in the works, he said. A couple of us around the table have sat in parking lots on Mountainview overnight and observed things going on down there, and Im glad to see this going forward. He and the other ward councillors and the mayor met with staff last month to come up with this solution to the Mountainview residents traffic concerns. The installation is expected to happen this year. According to traffic co-ordinators Bob Butryms report, speeds on Mountainview Rd. are typical to what occurs on any multi-lane urban collector or arterial road. Butrym said, the greatest single safety improvement that can be attained now on Mountainview Rd. S. is the construction of dedicated opposing left turn lanes for northbound and southbound approaches to the Delrex Blvd. intersection. The proposal is slated for construc- tion in the 2011 Capital Forecast. This winter, residents also expressed concern with the CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer
