I Citizens forum Traffic over extended Dear Sir I would like to address the Issue of traffic on our roods here in Hal Ion Recently an accident occurred on Trafalgar Road involving a truck a school bus and child The result was on Injured child the truck driver charged As serious an inci dent as it was and It could have been worse there are a few other issues Involved here This problem won t be resolved by everyone blaming the truck drivers nor by reducing the speed limit on Trafalgor Road the Georgetown to the rest of in the south Halton County is involved In major growth right now If you look around you sec Brampton Mississauga and Burlington pouring houses Into new subdivision and not fast enough to accomodate all the new people who want to live In this area Along with these new people come cars and traffic traffic that our roads ore not equipped to handle In the fashion we are all used loo I agree with Mrs Campbell on the point of surveying the traffic on Trafalgar Road but certainly not for the purpose of lowering the speed limit lower than 80 That would be totally crazy I would say the municipality ought be looking to widen Trafalgar Road others in order to accomodate the incmii growth of traffic Cars and trucks using Trafalgar run a steady line down to the and the E daily myself drive the route dal This is not just a road but a highway and this highway Is no dif fcrent than through Ac tonGeorgetown Brampton It Is no different than or Hwy or 10 If Mrs Campbell thought this would stay a nice rural com mumiy then was mistaken Anyone who buys or builds a home on a major artery cannot expect the traffic patterns to change for them still I look the minority rood 1 around but the res i will slay that way I Mope our town soon our trifflc problem because it is not going to go The pro- is here sure It is going to mushroom and fast Do I feel bad about the little one who got hit a couple of weeks ago Yes Do I think the truck driver should hove been charged there ore a few bad apples in every profession But do I think a lower speed limit on busy thorough fare Is the answer Hardly Toronto has extended itself in traffic It is supersaturated with cars Woke up
