Sault Trails Advocacy Committee wants the city to rethink details of the $18-million project
Sault Trails Advocacy Committee has emerged as a last-minute opponent to details of an $18-million proposed reconstruction of Queen Street.
"To make the downtown as safe as possible for cyclists, a two‐way segregated path would be best. This could virtually eliminate the problem of cyclists using sidewalks and creating a risk for all street users." We share the city's vision of a downtown that is an exciting and vibrant destination; safe and welcoming to everyone in the community and attractive to visitors.
Perhaps the easiest way to make Queen Street more accessible and safe is eliminating all traffic lights and replacing them with four‐way stop signs. Although concerns have been raised about the clearing of snow and bus stops on Queen Street with such infrastructure in place, there is ample time and space to find a creative plan that satisfies the needs of all street users and conserves finite city resources.Based on current statistics, our downtown core has an overabundance of parking spots, with around 10,000 spots that cover almost 40 per cent of available land.
