EIainc Abrams re: Speed Limits in Verona Ms. Elaine Abrams and Ms. Natalie Thompson presented to Council theu-
concerns with regard to the speed of traffic on Highway 38. In particular, they referenced when the children are walking to school and crossing the road. While the area is posted at either 40 km. or 50 km., it has been noted that the speeds are well in excess of this and that people are even passing within the VMage limits.
Ms. Abrams commented that she recognizes that reducing the speed isn’t going to work, nor is it feasible to have the Police patrol the area constantly. However they felt that the alternatives to be explored should be traffic
calming measures such as speed bumps or traffic lights, but they believe the best alternative might be the introduction of three stop signs; one at Sands Road or Maple Drive, one at Genge Street at the bank and one at Pineridge Drive.
They also suggested that rumble strips approaching those stop signs might also have a benefit. It was pointed out that where rumble strips had been
implemented elsewhere, there have been complaints from residents about the noise associated with them. This is to be referred to the Public Works Committee.
Ms. Abrams presented a four page petition to the Clerk.
