Safety is an issue
As a person who has lived on the east side of Highway 21 for 21 wonderful years, I have found it increasingly difficult to cross that road, especially when walking or cycling. There is no pedestrian crosswalk. Cars going south, use a right turn lane for passing around a car turning left. And now, with the addition of Tim Hortons, there is no provision for a right turn into that establishment. Twice in a week I have witnessed vehicles wanting to turn into Tim Hortons, get into the turning lane meant for Foodland and then suddenly having to veer out at the last second to find a turn into Tim’s. I think a "round about" might be a good option at this intersection.
The other thing that detracts from this charming village, is the fact that unnecessarily large houses are being built on the lake bank. This not only is annoying to neighbours, but extremely dangerous to the bank and may contribute to erosion.
The Main Street is full of charming establishments. I would hope there is a plan in place for keeping up appearances and not let certain owners slack off.
Thank you for the opportunity.
