Wawa Municipal Council's considering declaring areas around local schools as "Community Safety Zones".
In a recent report to Council, Infrastructure Services Assistant Director Rebecca Weatherall outlined the idea, which would see the zones established around the Churchill school zone, Sir James Dunn, and Ecole l'Escalade.
Weatherall explains it's the latest option considered to address concerns about speeding in those areas - Council had a mixed reaction to the idea of lowering the speed limit for most roads in town to 40 kilometres an hour, when discussed in February.
Weatherall says they're currently planning an "informal, drop-in" open house event for residents to view the maps, ask questions, and provide input, suggesting a survey will also be sent out so the community "has a say on where these Community Safety Zones are" - after that, the zones would need to be established through a by-law in a future Council meeting.
