The Municipality of Kincardine at its Council Meeting on Monday saw a motion brought forward on the topic of a Community Safety Zone.
The area in question was the entrance and exits of Kincardine Township-Tiverton Public School.
It’s location on Highway 21 has a posted limit of 80 km.
Residents have written to council to voice concerns of safety due to excessive speeding and lack of a turning lane at the school.
Councillor Stewart says the MTO needs to get involved.
“I’ve seen too many close calls. I drive there all the time so I can highly support this.”
The motion was to prepare a report on how to advocate for safety on the Highway covering the areas north and south of the school and options including lowering speed limits at the start & end of the school day and improved turning infrastructure.
The motion was passed by Council.
