Look for your Ashley Furniture flyer inside todays Milton Champion! Town says motorists only exceeding lim it by S km/h, flot enough to justzfy safeiy zone By JASON MISNER The Champion Milton is poised 50 drop one comimunisy safety zone but cieste another. A community safety zone - locsted near aiess sensitive so traffic, like achools, where [mnes for speeding are doubled - may be established at Main Street East, between Thompson Rosd and Pearson WaY/Harris Boulevard nexs montb. That's in front of Bisbop Reding Secondai-y School. It would replace the one at Martin Street, between Main Street and Woodward Avenue. Milton has a total of five community safety zones. The Town's community services com- mittee voted unsnimously Monday nighs to move the Martin Street ssfety zone sfter bearing there isn't enough speeding traffic 50 justifyp it. There the speed limis is 50 km/h, but Peter Linn, tbe Town's manager of engi- neering services, said motorists were exceeding it by an average of only 5 km/h. The Main Street ssfety zone bas been in place for more than two years. Mr-. Lmnn said he's been told by Bishop Redmng staff of cbronic speeders. The Town wiIl do a sraffic study probably ini the spning to ges a better handle on the prob- lem, he noted. Cnsteria to create a community safesy zone depends; on the number of vebicles passing through, their speed and the kind of population, like students or the elderly. The new zone would stay there until the summer of 2004. At that poins, Town engi- neers would determine if speeds had gone up or down. If they had gone down, the zone would be moved. Otberwise it would stay. The recommendations must be passed by town council to become officiai.
