To date I have seen nothing done. Let me make a suggestion, if I might. Driving down the 4-lane "Sookahalla" · last week in the darkness of early morning, I noticed a flashing digital sign ahead of both myself and the car in front. It read : YOUR SPEED 70 KM/HR, then SLOW DOWN. This was on the descent from Cutter Marine on a stretch where road maintenance is being done. So here's the question : With peak season for drag strip driving on Phillips Road just around the corner, why can't you arrange to have such signage stationed on Phillips Road, about 30 feet or so south of the postal stand just south of Sun river Way. One unit would face traffic turning south on to Phillips from Sunriver Way or further north, and a second unit would face northbound traffic on Phillips after crossing the Demamiel Bridge. Both would be operative 24 hours per day. The location would preclude any flashing lights from imposing on neighbouring residences. Floor boarding vehicles, particularly with sound augmentation exhaust systems, up and down Phillips Road is bad enough during the day, but even worse at night and early morning. Checking for records of accidents or traffic fatalities on this road isn't the most helpful approach. The issue is that speeding has become a public menace, that carries over from Phillips Road in this instance to Hwy 14. Year after year after year it is recognised as the top factor in crash fatalities in British Columbia. Something should be done, don't you think?

At the City of Langford’s Regular Meeting of Council on January 8th, 2018, Council made the following resolution regarding the CRD Regional Transportation Service. That the City of Langford, in order to ensure value for money, appropriate scope of work, no duplication between the various levels of government, and no shifting of the capital costs of transportation infrastructure onto the Capital Regional District, requests that the Capital Regional District provide all municipalities and electoral areas within the regional district with detailed information on the funding amount required by the Regional Transportation Service Establishment Bylaw for the next five years and what it will be used for; AND That the City of Langford does not support a Capital Regional District Regional Transportation Service that does not allow each municipality and electoral area within the regional district time to review the detailed information on the required funding amounts and objectives, and to opt out of the Regional Transportation Service if it so wishes; AND That, in this instance, the City of Langford does not support an Alternate Approval Process to obtain approval from municipal electors for the Regional Transportation Service, but believes consent should be provided in accordance with s. 346 of the Local Government Act, whereby consent is provided by each municipal Council (consenting on behalf of municipal electors) and by Alternative Approval Process in each Electoral Area. AND 2nd Floor · 877 Goldstream Avenue · Langford, BC Canada · V9B 2X8 T · 250-478-7882 F · 250-478-7864 That the City of Langford reaffirms its support for a no-cost advisory committee made of local government representatives to provide recommendations and priorities to BC Transit and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The City of Langford wishes to confirm its position that it does not support the creation of a CRD Regional Transportation Service that does not allow each municipality and electoral area the ability to opt out of the Regional Transportation Service if it so wishes, and that the City of Langford will be part of a no-cost advisory committee on regional transportation should one be established in the future. Langford CRD representatives Cllr. Blackwell and Cllr. Seaton will be happy to speak to this further.
