Safety concerns for dam site USBORNE TOWNSHIP - Us - borne Township council is close to making a decision regarding parking problems in the Morrison Dam area Several councilors have expressed concern about the safety of young children fishing or toboganning in the area who run between cars parked on either side of the road. The Ontario Provincial Police have suggested the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority parking lots be signed so area residents are aware the lots can be used for pub- lic parking. The township owns 20 percent of the lot alongside the ABCA building, but council has de- ferred a decision on the O.P.P.'s recommendation until they meet with the Authority. The O.P.P. also recommended the possibility of reducing the speed limit in the area, it is currently set at 50 km/h. Township clerk Sandy Strang said a decision on the second recommen- dation was also deferrecfrto February 19.
