I have a suggestion from a resident who lives on Aberdeen Blvd. Install a speeding camera on Aberdeen Blvd to help offset the money invested into the failed parking meter debacle.

Do you realize that you can drive from the Boat House at the foot of King St. through a residential neighbourhood using Aberdeen Blvd. to Mom's Restaurant, a distance of over three kilometres with out stopping.

Every day there is an increased amount of drivers speeding along Aberdeen to avoid having to stop on William St. I employ you to please install some stop signs along Aberdeen Blvd. Or better yet, install a speeding camera to boost revenues for the town. Barrie did it to the tune of "$460k in less than three months."

Please give this proposal some consideration.

A concerned tax paying resident of Midland
