T
he Village of Chase has decided to include virtually the whole town in the Neighbourhood Golf Cart, reducing the speed limit everywhere in town to 30 km /hour. The change will come into effect once the signs are put up, which Village Administration is hoping will be before the end of the month. T h e Neighbourhood Golf Cart Bylaw was given its first three readings at the September 13th council meeting, and is on the agenda to be adopted at a special meeting on Friday, September 16th. The carts, which require approved modifications, a permit, and insurance would be able to travel basically everywhere in Chase, including all the way to the first entryway at A & W/ PetroCan, down to Memorial Park, and through the downtown core. The golf cart permits are only valid from April 1 to November 15th of each year, but the speed limit will be reduced year round.

“It’s hard to imagine, seeing as some people have trouble doing the posted speeds as they are now. My biggest concern is the safety of the carts themselves. Can they withstand an impact with a “normal” sized vehicle?” asked Bette Carre who works in Chase. “The overall reaction from the community has been very supportive,” said Mayor Rick Berrigan. “It is a working project,” the Mayor said, “whatever works we will continue, whatever doesn’t we will fix. Nothing is set in stone.” Berrigan noted that the point of the pilot project was to figure out what works and what doesn’t. He does not believe there would be any major issues with the use of the golf carts on the road, but with Chase being one of the first two communities to operate the program, it is all considered to be a testing period.
