Talk to Town about traffic Police crack down on `High Flyers' The Town of Oakville is asking residents to weigh in on the possibility of lowering the current 50 km/h speed limit across the town. The Town is reviewing the current methods of traffic calming and speed limits on all town roads (not Regional Roads, such as Dundas Street, Trafalgar Road, Upper Middle Road, and Dorval Drive) and has developed a short survey to collect resident opinions. The survey asks residents to choose the measures they think are working well, or not, on their street or in their neighbourhood. The survey also asks residents' opinions on lowering the current speed limit. The survey results will inform the Ministry of Transportation, which has been asking municipalities what they think about lowering speed limits to promote a safer environment for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike. The information residents provide in the survey is anonymous, and the postal code request will help staff map areas of concern to residents. The survey results will be shared with council in a staff report later this year. The survey is available online at www.oakville. ca until Oct. 19. Hard copies are available at Town Hall and at local Oakville Public Library branches or by calling Service Oakville at 905-845-6601. Halton police are cracking down on high-speed drivers who take advantage of Oakville's open roads during off-peak periods. Dubbed Project `High Flyer,' the police enforcement campaign began on Friday, Sept. 11 and will run for two weeks. Police will be most active from noon to 3 p.m. (ahead of rush hour) and 8-11 p.m. (after rush hour) as there is an increase in pedestrian traffic at those times. Officers will also be on the lookout 11 p.m.-5 a.m. when traffic is at a minimum, but the high-speed drivers are at their fastest. Police are reminding residents it is not safe to speed. The faster a vehicle's speed, the less time the driver has to react if something goes wrong. 3 | Thursday, September 17, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com For more news, visit www.insidehalton.com inside today's Spotlight Beaver Trails Health Beaver www.insideHALTON.com 6 48 50 Arts Sports Classified 52 54 58 Ashley Furniture, Pharmasave Drugs, Metro, 3 for 1 Glasses, M&M Meats, Cruise Holidays Oakville, Bulk Barn, Snuggle Bugz, Rona, Nature's Source, Real Canadian Superstore, Samko Sales, No Frills, Lowes, Freshco, ICARE Optical, Harvey's, Food Basics, Samtack Inc., Fortinos, Accurate Distributing, Crystaller Concrete Sealing, Landmark Sport Group, Promobiz Solutions, JYSK Bed & Bath, Hudson's Bay Co., Smart Source, Husqvarna, Ren's Feed and Supplies, Leon's Furniture, National Sports, Home Outfitters, Fortinos, Bouclair, Pro Hockey Life, Globo Shoes, Walking On A Cloud, Sheridan Nurseries, Rexall, Pharma Plus, Brick Mattress, Longo's, Kitchen stuff Plus, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, Mark's Work Wearhouse, Michael's, Sears, Staples, The Brick, Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot, Drug Trading, Monastery Bakery & Deli, Sobeys, The Source, Centennial Windows, Sears Catalogue FREE INSTALLATION ON SAFETY COVERS* GOLD GOLD For home delivery & customer service call 905-631-6095, 5300 Harvester Rd., Burlington New subscriptions call 905-631-6095 or subscribe online at www.oakvillebeaver.com *All flyers not necessarily delivered to all homes 12' x 24' inground kidney shaped pool $ 27,999 vinyl & FiBeRglaSS availaBle Memories That Last a Lifetime...
