Roundabout removes safety hazard

The safety of vehicular traffic at Cowper Rd intersection has been an issue since 1999.

Plans were placed on public display in 2001.

Revised in 2002 and again placed on public exhibition.

The petition was received on the first plan, that plan was revised, reassessed and re-advertised.

The basis of the petition was concerned of possible isolation of the general store. The revised plan addressed those concerns.

This intersection is dangerous and is long overdue for upgrade.

As councillors, we have a duty of care.

We would be negligent if we didn't act on this safety hazard.
