Another concern of Hope Street residents is the traffic. I too live on Hope street east and find that the traffic does seem to drive faster than they should.
The Renaissance (home to 52 people) has a big concern, there is a large seam in the road that causes large trucks to bang loudly as they pass the apartment building. Truck traffic tends to travel Hope street through Tavistock at all hours of the day. This creates a problem for residents to get a good nights sleep as they are often woke from the noise caused from the imperfection in the road.
What about installing radar driven LED signs to encourage traffic to slow down as they enter the village. And why not install them at both ends of Hope and Woodstock streets?
What about establishing a permanent truck route for trucks sending them down the 16th and up Maplewood sideroad and to Embro road where trucks heading towards Stratford could turn right, trucks travelling to the 401 could turn left and trucks traveling towards St. Marys & London could carry on straight.
And lastly, it would be interesting to find out what the cost would be to smooth out the bump in the road to eliminate the noise that is caused from the trucks hitting the join in the two road surfaces.
