Sharon McKeown – 519-945-2133, Gary Kelly or Mark Petro – 248-494-1017. Values and Solutions Supporters of Save Our Scenic Drive's believe in: - Traffic safety
- Preservation of the concept of a Scenic Drive (passive design, slower traffic speed and volume, mature tree canopy, etc.)
- Openness to a solution that accommodates both cycling and vehicles, while satisfying resident concerns
We feel these 3 goals can be accomplished by: - Additional meaningful traffic calming measures of 400 vph and reduction of speed of 40/50 kpm
- Effective and permanent traffic diversion (which can only be achieved by the completion of all plans for Wyandotte Street)
- Both the first two issues to be accomplished before either the final design or implementation of any permanent bikelane solution
Signs, Signs, Everywhere a Sign We hope to draw attention to our concerns about the city's proposed Vista Improvement Project with the use of these vivid signs as well as bring people to this web site, (noted on every sign). We hope people will learn the real issues and hopefully support our cause. If you would like a sign for your own lawn, please contact Heather at 519-944-7849. Who took the signs and why? |
