The city’s decision to construct a roundabout at St. Catharine and Kains streets is going to be explored further.
A petition with over 200 names opposed to the roundabout was presented to city council at Monday’s (Nov. 6) meeting.
There was unanimous support from council on a motion to refer the petition to city staff with a report to come back to council for a future meeting.
Karen Rivers, owner of the Dixie Dairy Bar and Tackle Shop, had submitted the petition to mayor and council.
She called the roundabout “completely unnecessary” and, instead, would like to see the intersection governed by four-way stop signs.
A public information session dealing with concerns raised by area residents will be held in Room 304 at city hall from 6 until 8 p.m. on Nov. 28.
