Endorse 40 Mile Speed Limit For Acton Roadways
Council agreed to the Department of Highways recommendations to raise Highway 7 East of Acton to 40 mph for 1000 feet inside town limits and 45 mph at several access points. Officials noted speeding on No 7 highway makes current limits ineffective and discussed crossing safety near schools. The move requires provincial approval and council action to finalize.
