Road Safety in Lake Country - Part 2

Yes there is a part 2 to Road Safety and I hope that there will be many more parts until the roads are safe and people will be able to enjoy long walks without concerns for vehicular traffic. It'll take time but we will get there.

First, I wish to share with you a video that was sent to me by our Bylaw Enforcement Officer, John Mellor. John describes the video as follows: This is the new "wear your seatbelt" ad the UK is doing - started by some
one not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came
up with this idea, and now it's being hailed across the world as a
beautiful' commercial. ...And now the video has gone "viral" - [which means,
has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it
to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the
world in a very short time.]
"


The video can be seen at the following web address:

Then I wish to say that our Road Safety Team is working on a number of initiatives to improve road safety in Lake Country. In fact they are preparing a Discussion Paper that we hope to present to Council pretty soon. Obviously some things can be done immediately but others will require financial considerations that will involve Council decisions.

We appreciate the collaboration and assistance of many people and students and we will continue to keep you posted as things progress.
