Speed cameras worked

Dear Editor:

An open letter to Town of Erin council and Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Joseph Racinsky.

Every morning during the week for the last five years I stand on Trafalgar Road in Hillsburgh with my kids waiting for the bus.

It was only until this June, when the automated speed enforcement (ASE) camera was activated in town, that I finally saw traffic slow down. Now within a few days we will lose the only effective measure that has actually addressed the speeding in our community.

Soon the gravel trucks, commuters and transport trailers will be back to treating our road like a highway, travelling 60 to 80km/h while our kids walk and bike to school.

So Mr. Racinsky and town council, I invite you to come stand with me and my kids the morning the ASE is turned off. Come and watch the traffic with me and tell me what you’re actually going to do to get speeds back to 40 km/h.

I’ll be waiting.

Joanna Mullen,
Hillsburgh
