Kincardine approves road closures
By Liz Dadson

Kincardine Council

(continued)

Kincardine council has approved a list of road closures for the Kincardine Scottish Festival, Cruise Night and the BIA Calypso Day.

These closures have been altered from past years due to the Huron Terrace bridge construction and to maximize access by local emergency services.

There are events which require both Queen Street and Durham Market North to be blocked. At those times, an OPP cruiser will be parked in front of the arts centre with a fire department radio. This will allow the OPP to be aware of fire calls and inform the crowd of approaching emergency vehicles. The fire department will also deploy some of its fleet on the north side of town ensuring close coverage for all.

Volunteers for each event will continue to assist in manning barricades and ensuring emergency vehicles receive any access they need and at least one volunteer will have access to the fire department radio as well.

Anytime Queen Street is closed, parking will not be allowed along Princes Street in order to ensure emergency vehicles can safely respond to calls.
