3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3 . 1 The requests were prompted by concerns about speeding vehicles and
a prior motor vehicle accident which occurred November 13, 1990,
on Trulls Road involving a 10 year old boy leaving Mitchell Corners
Public School.
3 .2 The section of Trulls Road from Regional Road 4 (Taunton Road)
southerly 1200 metres (3/4 of a mile) has residential development
on both sides, built to rural standards with open ditches, no side-
walks and no street lighting. There are three residential streets
which intersect Trulls Road within this community.
3.3 Mitchell Corners Public School and play ground area is located on
the west side of Trulls Road 150 metres south of Regional Road 4
(Taunton Road) .
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4 . 1 From the above, it is concluded that a reduction in the posted
speed from 60 km/hr to 50 km/hr would be consistent with other
Hamlets within the Town of Newcastle and reasonable within this
built up area.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
