Dear Editor:
Recently there were people in downtown Elora at a kiosk talking to passersby about walking and cycling in Centre Wellington. I was stopped while walking my dog and spoke with them. I could think of three minor issues.
The extension to the walking trail on Church Street, with its wide asphalt and single white line, looks like parking spaces.
There is a spot on the trail at Gerrie Road that washed out and could cause a person to injure their ankle.
And the stop sign at Colborne and Irvine Streets is difficult to see, causing many vehicles to run right through it or stop in the middle of the intersection where school children cross for two schools.
Kudos to Centre Wellington Township because on Aug. 27 concrete barriers were installed at the trail extension on Church Street and on Friday I noticed that the wash out on the trail had been repaired.
Nothing done at the stop sign yet, but on Aug. 30 I did watch a police officer pull a vehicle over for running the stop sign. I hope something is done before a tragedy occurs involving school children at that intersection.
But, appreciation to the township for their quick response and to the people who spent their Saturday working the kiosk.
Richard Figg,
Elora
