North residents will appear before Halton Hills council next month to continue their fight for stop signs to curb speeding on the street Concern on the street about speeding and he request for stop signs at Churchill and Norman and McDonald was first brought to the ward one councillors dropIn this past spring After a few months of study the engineer brought back a report earlier this summer calling for a km per hour speed reduction a school safety patrol crosswalks and school area signs Regional police endorsed the plan and council approved the engineer recommendations The report made no mention of slap signs Friday spokesman for the group of residents whowantstopsigns Tom Oliver once again at tended the dropIn to discuss the situation lie said homeowners are disappointed stop signs weren t approved by council and unhappy they even discussed Councillor Ross explained just because residents request stop signs doesn mean the town will ap prove them He noted studies have repeatedly shown they don work said the situation on Churchill North Is different than on Churchill South In their report on Churchill South police said speeding wasn a problem council disagreed and approved two stop signs However In the case of Churchill North police found speeding was a problem and mended along with the engineer a speed limit reduction and measures to improve safety for children going to school Since the police suggested the speed limit reduction it is up to them to enforce It Kncchtel declared He added council had to give the engineer s police recommendations a chance if they don t work then council can lien suggest something else that might help like stop signs Grubbe agreed since the police suggested the speed limit reduction the police are on the spot to enforce it Oliver informed the councillors residents believe stop signs are the solution to the speeding problems hut they do applaud the measures suggested by the engineer and police and approved by council Crosswalks however will help only during the brief time children are going to and from school Oliver observed the accidents on the street during the past year caused by speeders take place during school hours How would a lowr speed limit help when too many drivers are the present speed limit Oliver pointed out residents waited for some time for the report and when it finally came to council the town failed to inform homeowners It was on the agenda The Churchill North residents realize Acton has only three voices on council so Uicy must take their case to the entire council If they hope to succeed Grubbe said the Acton councillors accepted the engineer report because they felt it was a strong beginning to solving the speeding problem albeit probably was not the final answer It is difficult to get council to approve stop signs so Acton representatives supp orted the report because It had a chance of passing Oliver said crosswalks t have prevented a single accident he could remember In the past year Stop signs have a potential to prevent accidents He said residents believe there is no chance of preventing accidents and slowing traffic on the long straight street without stop signs Knechtel said council will probably do one of three things approve stop signs send the subject back to the engineer for further consideration or simply BINGO EVERY TUESDAY JACKPOTS lyb Gome Ha Wood Guoph On 3
