The warden of Antigonish Co. says provincial officials are collecting data on a fast stretch of highway.
Municipal officials asked their counterparts with the province’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal to get an idea of speeds on Hwy. 337 past St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, and come up with ways to reduce those speeds.
After June’s regular municipal council meeting Tuesday night, Owen McCarron, the warden of the municipality, said a traffic study is underway.
“The traffic count is being collected, so we’re waiting on that,” he said. “That’s a busy area, and traffic seems to move fairly quickly.”
McCarron said members of their police and licensing committee are also trying to come up with some solutions.
