East Wawanosh petition to be presented April 18 A petition is bringing to the light the concerns of nearly 150 East Wawanosh residents regarding the "hazardous" state of the ward's roads. In speaking with The Citizen, some residents have said the roads are dangerous and are not adequate- ly cared for by North Huron. They were also dismayed to find that no provisions were being made in this year's budget to help address the problem. With taxes on the rise and no improvements in sight, the residents felt compelled to take action and see if fellow residents felt the same way. In just over a week, 145 people have signed the petition, which will now be presented in the form of a delegation at North Huron Council's April 18 meeting. A committee of concerned residents who have signed the petition will present it and voice additional concerns to council at the meeting. "We are very concerned about the condition of our roads and their lack of proper maintenance," the petition reads. "The roads of East Wawanosh are a hazardous obstacle course of potholes, washboards and washouts which cause residents to constantly swerve and at times drive into the ditch to avoid losing control or sus- taining damage to their vehicles." The petition says that the condi- tions of East Wawanosh roads persist year-round, no matter the season. It began with signatures from residents of Nature Centre Road, but soon expanded ward -wide from there. "Potholes in the summer and roads filled with snow drifts in the winter are what our exorbitant tax dollars are paying for," the petition reads. "The citizens of East Wawanosh demand that our tax dollars are put to better use to make our roads once again safe to drive on" The petition asks that concerned residents either seek out a petition and sign their name, or attend the April 18 meeting to show their sup- port for the petition's cause.
