Newmarket is closed minded about managing traffic and poor driving habits. They absolutely refuse to consider speed bumps/humps when the rest of world relies on them. Visit Bradford to see their traffic management, awesome! Automated crosswalks, speed humps, etc. Let’s not let them ignore the issue of speeding and poor driving habits,

What? “Urban shoulders also assist with slowing down traffic as a calming measure by making the road seem narrower.” We had them and were told by the town it only made a point 5 (.5) % difference. Why waste time/money on these? Many people think they are bike lanes.

Looks like a motorbike to me. Think of children playing on sidewalks, elderly, etc.
It’s one thing to have a motorized wheelchair but when it gets to the size of a bike or mini car, it belongs on the road with proper licensing, lights, registration, etc.

On Thursday past about 9:15 a.m., he was wandering around the Millard/Queen intersection. He kept heading towards any car that stopped. I tried to shoo him to safety but he would only go under the cars as they approached the intersection. I feel for him. Poor confused animal.

Join the club, Mr, Mossop. You’re not alone. I was told by a past councillor that “no heavy trucks” sign is just a deterrent. So it falls to the resident to call police and by the time anyone checks, trucks are long gone. Next you’ll be told to take photos of the trucks. No support. Period. Why this town isn’t doing more to curb traffic is beyond me. I believe it’s got way beyond their means to handle. Get creative Newmarket! Look around! Noise control should be on the list too, after market mufflers, loud motorcycles, etc.

Have you gone to the local senior’s residents to see if there is a Mary Russell in residence?

George has good ideas. Our side streets that run parallel to Yonge and Davis (Sandford, Carol, Queen, Millard) have become major bypasses for traffic that do not want to wait for the traffic lights, as result not stopping at stop signs, speeding, etc. Additionally, the timing of some traffic lights at some intersections haven’t been changed (monitored?) in years to assist with moving traffic along. I’m all for slowing/reducing traffic but we don’t need knee jerk, and possibly costly, reactions.

I’m finding that Newmarket is becoming a hostel (not hostile) town for every cause. Get to the root…get people off the streets, stop handouts! There are jobs, why are people begging at Leslie and Davis Drive, at the LCBO? We make it too easy. Everything is free, no one wants to work for it.

Best of luck to them! My concern for them is safety. Personally, I’d like to see it remain at the LCBO.
