4.0 NEW BUSINESS AT DIRECTION OF CHAIR
4.1 Seat Belt Campaign
Esther Rathwell advised that there is a seat belt campaign on at present across the
province. She spoke recently at Wilmot Creek regarding speeding and stop sign
infractions. Durham Regional Police cannot enforce the Highway Traffic Act
because Wilmot Creek is private property. Residents can still participate in the
Road Watch Program. Councillor Adrian Foster can provide a link to a site on
seat belt use.
Council did support having a report go forward to the next Council meeting
regarding the Region's decision to delay the project to reconstruct Liberty Street.
The recent traffic blitz by Durham Regional Police in Courtice was successful in
terms of visibility.
4.2 Traffic Signals-King Street/Division Street & King Street/L,iberty Street
There is no place for pedestrians to cross King Street in between Division Street
and Liberty Street. Pedestrian counts have not been done but staff was confident
that the number of pedestrians crossing King Street would not meet warrants for
another signal. It's also difficult to get ail pedestrians to go to a safety device
even when installed.

Committee Room 1C-Enter via Municipal Administrative Centre, 40 Temperance
