Residents petition for parking and traffic study Mills Road neighbourhood concerned with safety issues Steven Heywood News staff
Residents along and nearby Mills Road in Sidney have petitioned the municipality to study traffic and parking issues that one resident says is sparking a lot of
neighbourhood complaints. Fatima Warner presented a 63-name petition to the Town of Sidney this month, asking for a traffic and parking study of Mills Road from Resthaven Drive to Judson Place, including the adjacent Pleasant Street and Cotoneaster
Place. Warner, whose family lives on Cotoneaster, said she often walks through the neighbourhood and has been hearing a lot of complaints. “It’s always difficult getting down (Mills) street,” she said. “I’ve heard a lot of complaining
so I thought maybe we need to do something.” The problem stems, she claimed, from the new seniors care facility on Mills Road. Morning deliveries to it and two other facilities nearby and staff shift changes present the busiest times, Warner explained, making it onelane traffic only at times.
“Driving down Resthaven … there is no room. It’s just unsafe.” She’s concerned about the safety of residents and children in the area due to traffic conflicts created when the new seniors care facility opened earlier this year. Please see: Solution must, page 4
