and Rockwood The question of No highway and its re lationship to has come to the fore again suppose the basic question is to by pass or not to by pass the Village of My basic concern lies in re gard to people crossing a busy highway My purpose in writing this letter is state clearly my point of view and concern and to dispel hopefully any misconceptions that were generated from recent com hat I put of Era the Township of Eramosa regarding this matter May 1 reiterate that my concern lies solely in providing safe highway crossings for our children and indeed residents and patrons It was my hope that I communi the point that we currently have two crossings that arc somewhat question able safety wise that if the new highway goes through the volume of would surely increase thus making that should the highway go through Rockwood and it was my opinion it would that proper crosswalks should be built into the plans during the planning stages It is my belief that proper and safe crosswalks can be engineered and built into the new less to say there were other considerations that I discussed with Reeve and I am sure being properly put forth by those affected direcUy I referred to consideration of our local businessmen Surely some would be adversely to varying de grees by a highway by pass I am sure these people have individually and lively made their concern known to the pro per authorities Please note lhat I am not any ardent or champion of the cause for ignway No by pass But rather I am a strong supporter of people safety as relalcd to this highway MIT Despise not any
