Council votes to develop traffic calming policy LEAMINGTON — Leamington’s Manager of Engineering Service, Allan Botham, brought a report to council at the last meeting, with regard to traffic calming issues and complaints from residents. At issue are the chicane style roadway at the south end of Danforth, the bump-outs on Mill Street West, Coronation and Talbot Street West, and the traffic islands on Erie Street South. Botham and his department, at the request of council, commissioned a peer review from WSP Traffic Engineering, where WSP conducted investigations into the above traffic calming measures. The peer review supported the traffic calming measures taken in all of the areas affected. Councillor John Ham-
mond spoke about how the ideas look good as drawing and then don’t necessarily pan out when the project is finished. Hammond suggested using cones and other upright equipment to emulate the changes before they are made, and then ask the fire trucks to make those turns. “That would be an excellent indicator,” he said. Councillor Tim Wilkinson, who fielded many complaints from residents with regard to Danforth in particular, was hoping the report would offer some ideas as to cost to ‘fix’ some of the issues. “I put a lot of stock into the opinions of the residents,” he said. “So I was hoping I could give them some numbers as to what the cost would be to ease some of the measures.” Councillor Paul Tiessen spoke about the bump-
out in front of the Arts Centre, citing black tire marks on the curbs, and Deputy Mayor Larry Verbeke also expressed con-
cern about the bump-out at that location, saying that trucks turning east off of Fox Street, cannot make the turn.
IN MEMORIAM
a motion was brought forward to adopt a traffic calming policy for the municipality and was unanimously carried.

RACHEL NICOLE CORNIES
March 16, 1999 - June 12, 2000 When at night I go to sleep Fourteen angels watch do keep. Two my head are guarding, Two my feet are guiding, Two are on my right hand, Two are on my left hand. Two who warmly cover Two who o’er me hover. Two to whom ‘tis given To guide my steps to Heaven.
Your life was a blessing, Your memory a treasure... You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly, tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Rachel, That we do not think of you. Lovingly remembered by Daddy, Oma and Opa Cornies, uncles, aunts and cousins. “A breath away’s not far to where you are”.
Happy 25th Anniversary Pat & Marilyn Ribble

IN MEMORIAM In Loving Memory of my Soulmate
James allen (Jim) Brown
January 29, 1951 - March 8, 2020
When God was making husbands as far as I can see, He made a special soulmate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman, compassionate and kind, With more love and affection than you could ever wish to find. He gave my darling husband a heart of solid gold, only my heart can hold. He was someone I could talk to that no one can replace, He was someone I could laugh with till tears ran down my face. Next time we meet will be at Heaven’s door, When I see you standing there I won’t cry anymore. I will put my arms around you and kiss your smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart will fall back into place. Miss You So Much Love always, Freda..... ILY
