The Road Audit done by the
county was also done during
the school year, though Patter-
son argued that doesn't make
sense as Blyth is much busier
during the summer months
with the Blyth Festival and
those using the campground
on Highway 25.
The next road audit for the
intersection is set for ten years
from now. Patterson and Knott
believe that is far too long to
wait.
Although this intersection
is Patterson's main focus right
now, he also expressed con-
cerns about Dinsley and
Queen Street in town, which a
number of people on the
Facebook group have reiter-
ated. However he believes
that Highways 4 and 25 is
more urgent, so he'd like to
see action taken there first.
Knott said they are bringing
this issue to County council
now as it is the time of year
when they determine their
budget
"This has been broached
numerous times over the years,
said Knott, "and the County has
traditionally fallen back on
premise that we don't have
money, [but] if you don't plan
for it, you'll never have the
money"
He said their other reason
was due to the traffic audit, but
as mentioned, they have a
number of issues with that
study.
"The numbers don't fit situa-
tion, said Knott. "You can't put
price on a life; there have been
deaths at that intersection:'
