Residents continue to wait after complaining for years continued from p.11 He noted the Town has tried other methods to reduce speed on Wedgewood. One initiative, which was suggested by an area resident and attempted earlier this year, involved the Town permitting street parking. The rationale was if cars lined the road, motorists would use more caution and slow down. Bell said it didn't work out that way as speeds remained fairly consistent despite the on-street parking. He is aware area residents want speed bumps, but said that type of traffic calming measure is reserved for areas such as elementary school zones. Using them on a longer street like Wedgewood would cause problems, he said. "To implement speed cushions on a roadway like that would require 20 or more sets of speed cushions," said Bell. "It is a 50 km/h zone, so there would be a real impact on a roadway of that type," added Bell. Bird said a large number of speed cushions were used to try to slow traffic on Chartwell Road with many ultimately having to be removed because of the problems they caused emergency vehicles that needed to get through the area quickly. Currie suggested the speed bumps be placed strategically on the road, such as on its downhill slope where vehicles have a tendency to accelerate. Bell said the Town is preparing to set up a radar sign on the road, which will be in place for five to six months as the Town monitors its impact on speeding. Currie remains frustrated and has little hope the sign will be effective or that its data will be reliable as students will be out of school on summer vacation during the next two months meaning traffic on the street will not be as heavy as usual. She also pointed to a 2004 Town Community Services Committee report, which lists Wedgewood as 13th on a prioritized list of local and collector roadways that qualify for traffic calming. "It has been 10 years and nothing has happened," she said. 15 | Thursday, June 5, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com NOTICE OF THE PASSING OF AN EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT CHARGES BY-LAW BY THE HALTON CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD JUNE 12TH RE-ELECT KEVIN FLYNN A STRONG VOICE BUILDING A BETTER OAKVILLE WITH KEVIN · Protected Oakville's green space with the first expansion of the Greenbelt · Delivering a new state-of-the-art hospital to Oakville to provide the best health care · Dedicated to increasing GO train service · Advocate for youth and workplace mental health · Bringing ErinoakKids child treatment centre to Oakville, the largest of its kind in Ontario Campaign Office: 109 Lakeshore Rd.
