implementing the changes would
increase the intersection’s safety and
he felt the change made sense.
“This speed limit reduction will
provide a more predictable and
uniform situation for the motoring
public with respect to their
expectations,” Lund said in his
report, pointing out that the speed
limit is reduced to 60 kilometres per
hour on County Road 25 east of the
village, but not to the west. “It will
also provide a higher level of safety
for all motorists in the vicinity of the
Threshers’ venue entrance. The
reduced speed on the approach to the
stop sign at County Road 4 should
also slow eastbound traffic and
contribute to the safety of the
intersection.”
In Walton, the speed limit change
will be minor.
Currently, entering Walton from
the north on County Road 12, also
known as Brussels Line, the speed
limit drops from 90 kilometres per
hour to 60 kilometres per hour
between 790 and 275 metres north
of Walton and then again to 50
kilometres per hour from 275 metres
north of Walton to the stop sign at
County Road 25.
The speed limit will now be
changed to 50 kilometres per hour
from 790 metres north of Walton to
the stop sign at County Road 25.
Lund said of the proposed change
that with the expansion of Walton to
the north, including McGavin’s
Farm Equipment, there are a number
of entrances with associated
vehicular traffic, so reducing the
speed limit further should increase
safety in the Walton community.
To finalize the changes, council
will have to officially approve
amendments to the bylaw to
authorize speed limits in the county
at a meeting of Huron County
Council.
Once the changes have been made
official, they still won’t take effect
“on the ground” until the public
works department has physically
changed the signs.
Lund reported that there are
sufficient funds in the public works
budget to carry out sign changes in
both Blyth and Walton.

Township of North Huron
Fall Yard Waste Collection
Material should be placed at the curb in Paper Organic Yard Waste Bags, or
open containers only (not over 44 pounds in weight), before 7 a.m. for
collection. Plastic Bags are not acceptable for yard waste and will
not be picked up. The Township encourages grass clippings to be left on
your lawn providing valuable moisture and nutrients to your lawn.
Residents should not include tree branches, which are greater
than 4” in diameter. Use large branches for firewood. Use strong
twine to bundle tree or shrub branches. Bundles must not be
more than 5 feet long, no more than 44 pounds in weight and not
more than one foot in diameter.
Tree limbs will be picked up separate from the leaf collection.
Leaves can be mulched and left on your lawn (simply by running your lawn mower over them two or three
times) – they can be added in thin layers to your composting bin, dug directly into the garden, or
composted in a separate bin or pile.
Yard waste does not include sod, soil, lumber, tree stumps or stones and must be free of metal, food
wastes and garbage. The Township will not pickup loose branches.
2015 Fall yard waste collection starts Monday, October 5th and runs according to the
following schedule:
Monday, October 5 Monday, October 19
Monday, November 2 Monday, November 9 Final Pickup
Any yard waste left at the curb after the Final pickup date will be subject to a
minimum charge of $50.00 for pickup.
Between the Township’s yard waste collection dates, yard waste and
grass clippings can currently be taken to any North Huron Landfill location.
Plastic Bags are not acceptable for yard waste and will not be
collected.
