Driscoll introduces notice of motion for report on school zone speed signs

Mayor Neil Driscoll wants the township to move ahead with installation of solar-powered speed signs in school zones in Alma, Drayton and Moorefield.

At the Sept. 11 meeting, Driscoll introduced a notice of motion to have township staff generate “a report on the expense of installing these signs for our three communities in our school zones for Mapleton Township.”

In June, Wellington County’s roads committee accepted a petition from Drayton resident Heather Clemmer seeking two solar powered speed signs on Wellington Road 11 in the school zone of Drayton Heights Public School.

On June 28, county council accepted the committee’s recommendation to refer the petition to staff for more information.

“I understand the promise was made through the summer (that) communication would go back and forth to get it done and this didn’t happen, just with shortage of staff,” Driscoll told council after attending the county’s September roads committee meeting the previous day.

Clerk Barb Schellenberger explained the motion will come back as a resolution at the next Mapleton meeting on Sept. 25.
