This and that

Dear Editor:

It’s great to see money being invested in BT Corner in Fergus. The downside is no one knows it’s there, as I have asked many friends that did not know it existed, and the location with traffic is quite busy and noisy. I sent a letter in a couple of years back suggesting relocation to behind the library, where there is a view of our beautiful river and it would have excellent exposure to our visiting tourists that could not miss seeing the arrangement.

Regarding all the talk about speed cameras and people trying to avoid them by using nearby streets, Highland Road in Fergus has become a “raceway” as well, and if the OPP are going to monitor other areas, please include Highland Road. For those getting caught, there is a simple solution: download the Waze App, which tells you whenever you are approaching a “speed camera” zone anywhere you travel.

Can someone please put a coat of paint on the yellow building that used to be the used car sales office? Please!

In the same vein, can someone clean up the area where the old doctor’s office was torn down next to the church? It’s not a very pleasing site to look at for residents and especially visiting tourists. 

Brian Mackay,
