â€"Readers‘ Comer D € ~ E= "2A The Town of Milton uses tar and chip to reâ€" surface rural roads. It‘s a problem for one Nasâ€" sagaweya resident, who says she was out for 3 a bike ride and had to shield her face from | getting sprayed by sharp gravel when a veâ€" | hicle drove by. Town staff says using tar and chip is an effecâ€" tive and economical way of keeping low volâ€" ume roads in good condition. The story, which you can read on page 12, was posted to the Champion‘s Facebook page, where it garnered the following comâ€" | ments: Mandy Mac Neill: | agree with this resident. It is an unsafe way to resurface a roadway, alâ€" though it‘s likely cheaper than other ways. I‘m sure it is a danger to cyclists as well as pedesâ€" trians, who I‘ve seen walking dogs on roads in Nassagaweya. It‘s also not good for the vehiâ€" cles driving on such surfaces, as the pieces of stone fly up and damage the paint and finish. Daniel Goodland: it slows down traffic most of the time, is cost effective for the city and doesn‘t stay that soft for that long. I‘m for it.

Onâ€"street, overnight parking needed Dear Editor, 1 stand behind letter writer Lori Zozzolotto and other Miltonians who suffer daily with parking problems. We are in a semiâ€"detached home with not enough room below our sidewalk to park our car vertically. Our two kids are now drivers; we have three cars â€" and soon a fourth. Where do we park? We can‘t move nor do we want to. We are grateful when neighbours go on vacaâ€" tion and let us use their driveways. We have used up our parking considerations. We have rotated our cars, taken turns on the street depending who leaves first for work. We have got it down to a science and still it is | not nearly enough.

Why can‘t Miltonians buy street parking perâ€" mits? Is it really more important to exploit the terrible parking problem to the Town‘s finanâ€" cial advantage at the citizens‘ expense? Why won‘t councilliors put their heads togethâ€" er and face the parking facts and respectfully devise some creative solutions? Give us some choices based on our needs, like monthly, overnight parking for one price and maybe a lesser price for those who need to park less than 10 times a month and leave the parking consideration for visitors. These are just ideas. We are asking that the Town think of ways to create permits for monthly minimum and maximum overnight parking â€" please.

Then, the roadway can be properly used forâ€" what it was built for. NY Andrew Paxton, Milton Z. A memorable reunion Dear Editor, We appreciate you profiling the planned get together of the Milton District High School Class of 71 in the paper last month. We suggested coverage since it is a good news story for our beloved stillâ€"small town Milton community in a time of dramatic turâ€" moil the world over. Thank you! Our event was hugely successful with 54 in atâ€" tendance and 20 regrets, all of whom promâ€" ise to be in attendance in five years for the next one. Four of our former teachers and their spouses did not hesitate to attend, despite some challenges. Each one rememâ€" bered all of the students by name. True to years gone by, we kept the party goâ€" ing after appetizers and a wonderful meal prepared by Yvonne and her colleagues from the Ladies‘ Auxiliary at the Legion. wosuojjeyapisu Laurie MacNab, Class of ‘71 Gallinger&e=» MILT O N esf. 1967 ® 655 MAIN STREET EAST, MILTON www.gallingerford.com 905â€"875â€"FORD(3673) m en oo +4 n on n en n ns ~~>
