Sideroad met with some success Monday Despite a staff report which recommended that the speed limit not be reduced council voted to decrease the limit by ten kilometre an hour to TO kilometres for the stretch of road ch has 50 houses Residents had asked or the speed limit to be dropped to kilometres A report by town Operations Engineer Ted said the dent rate for that stretch of road is per cent higher than the average rate But the accident incidence Is not significantly greater than the average expectancy The number or types of accident should not be ex peeled to decrease with a lower speed limit the report said The stretch of road is straight and relatively level said Mr Drewlo He did recommend a hidden driveway sign for one of the driveways which doesnt meet pro vincial sight line There have only been two on that stretch of land in the past five years said Mr Drewlo One involved a snowmobile crossing the road and the other involved a car backing out of a driveway Mr said the Increased traffic on that portion of the Tenlh Line might be attributed to the con taking place on Steeles Avenue near the Eighth Line Hie Towns General Committee voted not to invoke the lower speed limit last week but council overturn thai decision Monday Its a very serious thing when people along a stretch of road are concerned about their safety said Norm Elliott But Hewitt said all the roods
