M.L. council candidates on traffic flow in the city
Meadow Lake’s municipal elections are seven days away so meadowlakeNOW spoke with the candidates vying for a council seat to gather their thoughts on the way traffic flows through the city and any improvements which could be made.
The City of Meadow Lake has one street light and roughly four dozen stop or yield signs throughout with the majority of intersections being uncontrolled.
Incumbent candidate Kim Chiverton said council looks at different ways of dealing with the traffic flow but has to be mindful that one solution doesn’t create another problem.
“For example, the (uncontrolled intersections) forces people to at least slow down and take a look, without that you tend to get people speeding,” Chiverton said.
