10:00 – Homer Watson & Block Line roundabout
Regional Councillor, Sean Strickland. We discussed the 2013 Collision report for Waterloo Region earlier this week. As mentioned, the Homer Watson and Block Line Roundabout experienced significantly more collisions than any other roundabout in the Region, with 72 collisions in 2013. At a meeting on Tuesday, Regional Councillor Sean Strickland said council needs to have a serious discussion about them and how to improve safety. There are a number of contributing factors: drivers trying to overtake other drivers within the roundabout, speed, and confusion on how to navigate. Attempts to reduce collisions have included reduced speed limits and yield signals. Council will discuss other measures early next year.
