The change will involve replacing 22 signs and will take effect in the coming weeks. The decision is a further step towards mitigating traffic concerns raised by Beeton residents after a special meeting was held last September at the DA Jones Branch of the New Tecumseth Public Library. Speeding and truck traffic vol- umes were raised as the top concerns by residents, especially those who live on the Main Street. To mitigate concerns so far, council has: installed (and subsequently removed) a stop sign at the corner of Tecumseth and Main Street; had a flashing radar sign posted to a pole at the west entrance to the town – close to the OPP satellite station; encouraged OPP to conduct additional enforcement blitz’s; and confirmed the need for permanent street lights in the town (location to be determined). The speed limit on the outskirts of Beeton will also be reduced from 80 km/hr to 60 km/hr to create a “slow down buffer zone”. Councillor Richard Norcross and Tottenham Councillor Chris Ross have also asked that a traffic study be conducted to find a permanent solution to the problem – requesting that an alternate bypass route be established to keep truck traffic out of the downtown cores of both communities. An off ramp is currently being built at the 5th Line, to connect Hwy. 400 to Hwy. 27, and Hwy. 27 to Hwy. 50.
