Council to reconsider traffic calming measures at Errol and Indian

Sarnia council will reconsider the placement of traffic calming measures at Indian and Errol Roads Monday.

Mayor Mike Bradley said the bump-outs have always received a mixed response.

"The traffic calming measures were put in a couple years ago as a pilot project," said Bradley. "After that pilot expired the city staff were recommending it to continue. Several of us did not support that, but the majority did and it was accepted. But now, the majority says they want to take another look at the issue based on the feedback, that is negative, that we're getting from the area."

Bradley hopes council will consider the many different opinions on the issue.

"There's some question about if it's a safety measure that is effective. It has an impact on the neighbourhood, has an impact on traffic. Keep in mind that Indian was always designed to be an arterial road and to have a large amount of traffic."

Bradley said the engineering department is recommending the traffic calming measures in other intersections as well.
