To: Mr. Bob Crate, Mayor of Trent Hills, Warden of Northumberland County
We the undersigned attest to the following:
- The issue of speeding in the Municipality of Trent Hills has reached dangerous levels
- The continued lack of progressive action by the Municipality and County of Northumberland is leading to a decreased state of public safety within our community
- The recent action by the Municipality/County to raise the speed limit on Albert St W to 60 km/h from 40 km/h is not only counter productive but exacerbating an already dangerous issue of speeding in Hastings
We request the following actions in the name of public safety of our community:
- Immediately revert the speed limit on Albert St W in Hastings to the previous 40 km/h limit until a more comprehensive means of traffic calming can be implemented
- Complete a new traffic study in the Municipality focusing on speeding issues, not traffic collisions as was previously done
- Proceed with implementation of traffic calming technology (i.e. photo radar) within the Municipality as soon as possible
- Request additional enforcement from the OPP in known trouble areas of the Municipality
- Apply already available traffic calming solutions (i.e. road markings, signage, speed bumps, lights, radar signs etc) in known speeding trouble areas
- Hold a public meeting to discuss the above concerns

This petition needs to be seriously looked at, people speed at 50+ over coming into Hastings with excessive danger to children at Hastings Public School as well as people walking through the neighborhood. NEEDS TO STOP.
In addition Trent Drive in Campbellford
I have been fighting for 21 years for Hastings to address this problem.

They fly down Albert St like it is a highway and I am sick of worrying about my dog getting hit every time we go for a walk. Put the limit back to 40 already!
