Dear Editor:
Due to the ongoing construction on Colborne Street in Elora, which is one of the two main east-west routes through our town, traffic is forced to use our formerly quiet street as a thoroughfare.
Drivers appear to be flustered and annoyed that they have been inconvenienced, hence by the time they reach our street they are in even more of a hurry to get to their destination.
The township had installed “please slow down” signs on Keating Drive and Gourlay Road but not on Steven Way or Wellington Drive (the other part of the revised route).
I emailed councillor Lisa MacDonald on July 25 and she replied immediately. On July 30, two signs were installed on our street and the lines at the crosswalk and four-way stop nearby were re-painted.
So, with all of the negativity being directed towards our politicians at all levels of government, some of it warranted, I wanted to share something positive.
Thank you councillor MacDonald for pushing this through on behalf of your constituents.
David Page,
Elora
