LETTER TO COUNCILLOR GRIMES JUNE 2018 The attached is a letter from the HBSCA to Councillor Grimes concerning signage on the trail in HBS Park. For two years, the HBSCA has been requesting basic signage for the trail (e.g., 20 kph, yield to pedestrians, slower traffic to side) signage that is capable of being read by high speed cyclists.... If you support the HBSCA’s position as set out in the letter (or part of it), please send an email to Councillor Grimes ("[email protected]"). If you do, we would appreciate you providing a copy to us at "[email protected]".

LETTER TO PARKS, FORESTRY & RECREATION JULY 2016 The attached is a letter from the HBSCA to Parks, Forestry & Recreation in July 2016 concerning signage on the trail in HBS Park.

WOULD YOU NOTICE THE SPEED LIMIT? Last November, the HBSCA sent a letter to Councillor Grimes with regards to signage on the trail in HBS Park. As part of the response to our request for signage that sets out the speed limit, a photo rendering was attached. It provides examples of the proposed type of signage that would contain a posting of the 20 kph speed limit. Excerpts from the photo rendering are provided below. How many high speed cyclists passing through HBS wou...ld even notice the speed limit? For contrast, we have added a photo-shopped picture created by Eric Code (Example - potential sign, version 2). It reflects the type of signage we had in mind when we made the request for signs that set out the speed limit i.e., simple, clear and capable of being read by anyone passing by at 35 kph. The original November letter, the email response from Kim Edgar (Councillor Grimes' Chief of Staff) and our response to her email are set out in postings below.
