The link is to the Letters to the Editor section of the Chatham Daily News and concerns the accident that occurred on the 16^th.

One question I have to council, given the reaction to the King Street accident and the reaction via enforcement of no bicycles on the sidewalks, can we expect the same when it comes to traffic enforcement on these rural roads? This incident is the second within two weeks of motorists using the side roads as a racetrack resulting in the injury of a cyclist.  I mentioned at the ACSC that one of our riders was run off the road by Maple City Golf last week, resulting in a serious shoulder injury.

I, for one, will be asking all candidates in ward 6 for their opinion on this matter. The one who has already been to my door gave the answer that he is not impressed with traffic enforcement when it comes to motorist interaction with cyclists. He has my vote.

I would suggest everyone do the same for the candidates in your ward, even if they are going to be acclaimed.
