Brad Durocher has a concern with traffic at Soutfield and Mulberry Roads going up to Banwell, not just Southfield and Tecumseh Roads. Vehicles driving down Southfield are doing 60-70 km/per hour in a 40 km zone. Adding more traffic will enhance the issue. He understands that Mulberry Road is in Windsor and that the Town does not have jurisdiction over the Banwell/Mulberry intersection.
The Mayor noted the traffic concern will be brought forward to the OPP and possible traffic calming measure for the area. The Director Public Works & Environmental Services further added that Administration is working on a Speed Mitigation Guideline for concerns regarding speeding. It is anticipated that the Speed Mitigation Guideline will be available to Council this year.
It is noted that the City is proposing a roundabout for the Banwell/Mulberry intersection in the near future.
The Mayor asks the audience if there are any more questions.
In response to an inquiry, Greg Jones explains that the parking lots will be central to the two apartment buildings with lighting for safety. The distance from the building to the pathway is discussed.
