Intersection at Yates and March a mi fnrrçnoi DEAR EDITOR: Just menîioning the iutersec- tion ai Yaîes Drive and Marcb Crossing causes many residents i the area îo roll their eyes. Wby? Because wc bave seen many near misses of vehicles driving down Yaîes rom Thompson Road wiib cars com- ing oui of March. Lasi weekend j was no dîfferent. Lets go back in ime to ibis pasi summer around tbe dinner bour. Local resîdenîs were broughi oui of ibeir homes with tIse sound of screecbing tires, loud îbumps and a big bang. WIsaî bad bappened was a car travelling nortb on Yates toward Bennett Avenue - ai wbaî wit- nesses describe as over the speed unmit - narrowly missed a vebicle comîng oui on Marcb into the intersection. Tbis car swerved îo miss the other, losi conîrol and jumped the curb on the opposite side of the road and smasbed mb oa house. Luckily there was no one hurt. The car sustatuecl some damage and the bas wîndow of the home was damnaged. As ibose of us wbo live in the arca kiiow, kids ire walking up and down the sidewalk heading to thei r friends' homes or to the local parks ai ibis trne of day, and îbank God no one was ihere when this bappened. Now we go back 10 ibis pasi Saîurday and the almost exact saine situtiton happCiied aîgaiu. A car travelling îp Yanes lrom Thompson beadîug toward Bennett narrowly missed a car comning oui lrom March, losi conîrol and îumped the curb on tbe opposite side, biîîing the very same bouse in almosi ibe identîcal spot. Enougb îs euough. 'm not a person who favours puîîing stop sîgns ai every intersection or reducing speed wben there is no justification, but someîbing bas to change before anoîher home is bit or, God forbîd, someone is injured or killed. The speed limit on Yaîes is 50 km/h. During lasi [als eleciion campaign, I spoke witb many people about communiîy safeîy and wbaî we as cîtîzens could do to make our sîreets saler. Many of you lavoured reducing the speed limit on streets. \Vould a 40km/h speed limit have saved ibis homeowner lrom yei anoiher insitraut e dlaim and tîme away' [rom theîî ie to repair the damnage to their horne that someotte else caused? Mayhe. Il the speed liii tw,îs reduced it migbî be cause for t[îe driv er t10 make sure ihey slo1w down. \\ho ,reallv kuows? \\ocld a stop) sigu have done the trick? Again, wbo kuows? Il dnivers know there is a stop) sign approacbîug ai that intersection, would îhey reduce ibeir speed heloic îhey corne to Match? Possîbly People need to open their cyes and realîze our resîdential and îown roads are not speed- ways. Its frusîratîng to live in an area such as this, wiîb such amazîng neighbours and people living in the subdivision, and have to deal wiîh ibis. The only îbiug we bave left is to turu to the Town ol Milton and see wbat can be done. lor years nowresîdents have complained about speeding on our streets. To the Town's credit, tbey bave donc some studies about excess speed on Yaîes and have concluded it doesn't war- rant a stop sign at ibis particular intersection. My message, wbîcb 1 plan on delîverîng with the help ol local residents, is sîmply ibis.
