I am a new resident to Port Elgin and am very
concerned that most of the sidewalks in town are not cleared during
the winter. Being the mother of 2 children who attend school here
and walk to school most days, I am quite shocked how kids (and
pedestrians) here have to share the slippery, snow covered roads
with motor vehicles.
I have actually started driving them to school
for safety reasons as I have seen (several times in the mornings)
that traffic slows to one lane as cars in one direction must stop to
let the other go by, as there are children on the road ! In this
day and age, it is totally unacceptable that our children are
walking on the road to school and I really feel
that the municipality needs to review their budget and allow for
this potentially life saving service be mandatory within the
municipality. This is simply a tragedy waiting to happen.
I strongly encourage residents/parents to also
put their concerns in writing to the municipality as
soon as possible. Please voice your concerns to Council so this
very important issue can be reviewed.
thank you for your time,
Nathalie Ferguson
