Home Newspaper of Halton Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown 3ZG Ontario DON GRANDER Publisher and General Manager CARL S1NKE Advertising Manager Phone SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday November Unsafe conditions Violations and carelessness by truck drivers are causing a citizen revolt Repeated problems with trucks in Halton Hills has resulted in a new group which has formed to oppose speeding wheelers We support the coalition of citizens meeting to put an end to unsafe conditions on our local roads and highways Increasingly motorists feel intimidated on the highways pedestrians risk injury by walking along the side of the road and homeowners can t get any peace and quiet Most truck drivers are conscientious However there are too many truckers on the roads who are more worried about their loads than the safety of others In an area rich in aggregate people have to expect heavy truck traffic But vehicles disobeying speed limits and circumventing weigh scales are abusing their rights to use our roadways Residents who live along these truck routes deserve to know their children are safe and their homes are assured of a reasonable level of quiet Truck companies have to take some measure of the blame for its employees who dont act responsibly More guidelines and pay incentives based not on speed of delivery but safety record need to be implemented Town council and Halton Region can take a closer look at further regulating truckers Halton Hills cant restrict a companys ability to operate a business but it s only fur its employees treat our residents with respect and slow down Rural residents Canada Post is committed to cutting costs and making our mail system more efficient But plans to cut back on rural service by using super mail boxes isnt the only answer There are other ways to cut costs besides reducing ser vices to rural residents In Halton Hills if super mail boxes were used rural residents would have to travel great distances to pick up registered mail And as the postmasters union warns there will be pro blems with parking snow clearing and vandalism if the super mail boxes are implemented Of those we talked to many local postmasters felt they wouldnt be affected by the Canada Post proposal However when The Herald also contacted the postmasters union the representative issued a harsh war ning It doesnt matter how many pieces of mail a rural post office handles per day The office could still be on the chopping block Post office facilities in Hornby and Terra Cotta could be closed How can this plan be stopped Contact your and write Canada Post Everyone would like to see Canada Post run more lively at a lower cost to the taxpayer Not all cost saving measures need to reduce services in order to boost budgets There are other ways to cut costs besides offering the rural resident fewer postal services Agiftoflife Gifts come in all shapes and colors Some gifts come brightly wrapped
