Here's a note from Don, a local Oxton-Oriole neighborhood resident, who writes...
I am pleased to see that there will be a "Stop" sign restored, to replace the "Pedestrian Wait for the Gap" signs at Oxton and Oriole Parkway. I am a firm believer that the pedestrian should always have the right of way in any traffic situation. All drivers should remain extremely cautious of children, and elderly at all intersections; all the time. This should be re-inforced now that children have returned to school.
The reduction of speed from 50k to 40k along this very busy thoroughfare, will hopefully assist in enforcing the law as it regards to X-walks. I use these on a daily basis, and am looking forward to an improvement.
The "Quiet Residential" signs are a welcome sight for those of us whose property face onto Oxton Avenue. I trust that the "Hidden Driveway" signs will also remain in place. For the many years that I have lived here, I now find it quite treacherous exiting my vehicle, and entering the northbound, and southbound traffic on Oxton Avenue.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Ress for his valiant efforts in setting up these petitions with our many neighbours, and his very creative blog that has kept us all abreast of these developments. A job well done. Thank you, Mark!
