The Town of Caledon is hosting five meetings to listen to traffic safety concerns and provide information about what has been done to improve the situation.
Mayor Annette Groves took to social media to inform the public of the locations and dates of the discussions in May and June. Members of the OPP and staff from the Region of Peel and Caledon will be in attendance.
The mayor is encouraging residents to have their say at the spring meetings.
“This is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn about ongoing improvements. Hope to see you there,” she said on her Facebook post.
A total of five meetings are being held:
• May 8, 6-8 p.m. — Caledon East Community Complex, Banquet Hall A
• May 14, 6-8 p.m. — Southfields Community Centre, Hub Room
• May 15, 6-8 p.m. — Margaret Dunn Valleywood Library, Community Room
• June 4, 6-8 p.m. — Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness
• June 11, 6-8 p.m. — Alton Legion
Caledon council declared a road safety emergency last fall in response to a rising number of collisions, some of which resulted in fatalities.
The declaration urged the province to raise all Highway Traffic Act penalties and fines, give municipalities the permission to use automated speed enforcement (ASE) beyond community safety zones and launch a provincewide road and traffic safety education program.
Council recently approved the addition of four more ASE cameras as part of the 2025 budget.
