Opinion

“On a recent Sunday at 10 am, a total of 32 cars overtook me as I cycled along Grey Road 1, between East Linton and the Eddie Sargent Parkway.

I was surprised by how heavy the traffic was, but it also reminded me how poor the road conditions are and how potentially dangerous this section of the County road has become.”

Community member Lloyd Lewis shares his recent cycling experience and challenges the County to install bike lanes on much-publicized bike route in this letter to the editor:
