From there, recommendations may be made which could result in an agreement between MTO and the Town. He said the Town already has agreements in place with the MTO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Hunters Bay Trail is an example where we do encroach onto the Hwy 11 corridor and we have several agreements related to that in place. So we can work this, It is possible but the sidewalks would be 100 per cent a Town initiative that would need to be funded through the Town, once we get the proper permissions to put it in there,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, the Town&#8217;s Active Transportation and Public Transit Committee is also working on ideas related to walking trails and paths around the Hwy 60 corridor. One of those options involves a connection from Fairyview Drive to Hwy 60 that would involve privately owned property. A bus stop will be added by the Laketree apartment building as well, said Councillor Bob Stone who serves as Vice Chair of that committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillors also heard that ratification of the recommendations considered to enable staff to move forward as quickly as possible to look at ways of improving pedestrian safety before winter would be sent to Huntsville&#8217;s Planning Council, which meets before the regular council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very pleased to see this report come to council and absolutely really like the idea of engaging the private property owners in the area. I think that we will be able to solve, hopefully, this problem far sooner than later, than the MTO will be able to solve it. So I think that involving the private landowners in that area, I&#8217;m really optimistic hopefully that we&#8217;ll be able to come to a solution there before the snow flies,&#8221; said Councillor Corey Clark. He referenced the <a href=\"http:\/\/Huntsville resident starts petition requesting infrastructure improvements\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">petition from those who use the corridor<\/span><\/a> regarding safety concerns and said council agrees that it&#8217;s a safety concern and has committed to solving it as best and as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2023\/09\/Highway-60-Ministry-of-Transportation-Corridor-.pdf\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">HERE<\/span><\/a>, for the staff report.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Huntsville municipal staff have been looking at ways to improve pedestrian safety along the Hwy. 60 corridor, according to a report brought forward at the Huntsville September 27 General Committee [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":144422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-144412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
