Traffic calming measures are being put forward in Wellington North.
Council this week discussed such moves after reviewing some concerns raised by citizens as submitted through a portal calling on staff to investigate their traffic and pedestrian safety concerns.
Discussed include the installation of speed signs on Concession Road 11 at the north and south limits in Farwell and radar speed signs on Sideroad 3W, east of Wellington Road 6 and west of Sally Street.
Tammy Stevenson, Manager of Infrastructure & Engineering says they plan to get a traffic count going for the pilot project.
“It’ll get the number of vehicles that go down the road as well as speed. We’ll do it prior to posting them and a couple times during the installation to see how it impacts traffic vehicle speed.” Stevenson.
Council approved to have staff undertake a traffic calming pilot program to implement who will return to council on findings at a later date.
