While we know some are thinking, "Oh, no. Not again," we're say- ing, "Bring it on." Too many times on a highway we've seen a car zoom by at an extreme rate of speed, weaving in and out of traffic, and we've thought to ourselves, "That guy's going to kill somebody. Where's a cop when you need one?" And we believe most drivers have experienced a close eall at some point with motorists running red lights. If implementing photo radar and red light cameras will make those drivers think twice and possibly prevent injury and death, then it wilI be worth it. Good, law-abiding drivers should have nothing to fear. *Our Readers Write Traffic lights needed now at Milton Sports People s concerns about subdivision bike Centre intersection; delay is poor planning path more about parking spots than safety i)ear Editor: t use' the cte r ee i,,- n a., - A 1 strongly agree with the mnanv resi- dents of iis town who think there should lie ights ai the Milton Sports Centre intersection ai Derry Road and Commercial Street. 1 agree with letter writer Carol Brooks that the delay of traff ic lights is an exam- pie of poor planning by the Town. One aspect of this issue that hasn't been brought up yet is of pedestrians. How are people supposed to access the new sports centre if they're on foot or bike? truiy appreciate this addition to the town. Huiwever, 1 féel as thought it's not safe to waik or ride iny bike across Dýerry Road because there arcn't any crossing signais ai the intersection. ln ibis day and age when ail we heur about is obesity and inactivity, the iack of a safe crossing ai this intersection just encourages individuals to drive to Milton Sports Centre insîead of taking the heaithY waY of walking or riding a bike.

In my opinion. ibis issue bas alavays been about parking spots and îlot safeiy. The boulevard lands have been set up for these paths since day one- with double trees that frame the paths and reduced curbings for case of exit and entry by bicyciisîs. The safeîy issues, in my view, aren't about baving 10 be amare of people, since everyone sbouid be waîebing for people on the side- waiks. The safeîy issue, 1 believe, is about geîîing the kids off of Trudeau Drive. whicb bas become a very busy street. The proposai to make a coloured patbway extension te the sidewaik is ridiCUIeus. i believe net puîtitng iin a path s ridieuious as weli.

Rory McLeod Trudeau Drive Correction A letier in lasi Tuesday's Champion contained incorrect information. The letter - about an English as a second language student baving ber bike stoien - stated thse bike could lie dropped off while classes were going on Monday to Friday, wben in faci classes run Monday to Tbursday. I-er home country of Colombia was also misspeiled as Columbia. The Champion regrets these errers.
