A community safety zone may be coming to River Canard.
Amherstburg town council has asked for a report to look at the possibility of establishing a community safety zone along Concession 3 North near County Road 8 (North Townline). The area sees a built-up section of Concession 3 North, the nearby subdivision in River Canard runs alongside St. Joseph Catholic Elementary School.
Councillor Don McArthur said he has heard from residents in the area who are concerned about speeding in the area. The area nearest to County Road 8 is of specific concern, but there were also speeding issues on Concession 3 North identified as far south as North Side Road.
McArthur said there have been “repeated complaints” on the matter.
“We’ve gone to police, they’ve done their best and the problem persists,” said McArthur.
The traffic calming policy deals with urban roads and not concession roads, requiring a different mechanism to deal with the matter. He said if people are caught speeding in a community safety zone “so if someone is caught, they are punished severely.”
“There’s a lot of kids there, there is a lot of homes there,” he said.
In speaking with one of the residents, McArthur stated that person is at “his wit’s end.”
