Riverside Drive has a total of 10 speed limit signs. They are all 40k. I would not have a problem if the limit was 50k as long as that is what people travelled. The problem is that some people are using this street as a highway and are driving highway speeds.

solid lines are not enough, and are useless without enforcement.
Just look at the behaviour on the highways, passing on a solid line, AT an Intersection.

Sadly some cooperation is required from the public who have trees in their yards that are infested as the worms can blow in to treated trees from infested trees. This approach worked well in Saskatoon, even just making sure that all of the trees in the area are banded with tanglefoot so the adult moths cannot lay eggs on the trees. A significant reduction in the population of worms can be achieved with some relatively inexpensive means and this would improve utilization of the walkways and the nearby Kinsmen park.

the city used to band, didn't they?

BT is not cheap but if used selectively can be very effective.

I see city workers (seasonal?) spraying weeds along the meridian on 2nd Ave. Surely they could also be spraying for more IMPORTANT pests

I would be interested to know the cost, our neighbour has 3 trees that hang over into our yard that are covered in these and it makes it impossible to enjoy that section of the yard as they are always falling on us!

Oh for heavens sakes SANDALS are worn anywhere!!!! Get with the time!!! Really the question wasn't even about sandals!!!

What's wrong with sandals in an eating restaurants! Women wear open toed heels? Is that wrong? That comment is completely ridiculous! second the bottles can be from zorbas bar or belly up. On top of all this I've stopped going to brunch their because the last time there was a fresh pile of vomit on the sidewalk outside, that part of town is dirty simple as that.

Isn't that the best part of the live chat being closed.........not having to see mr h's comments!!! I love it!!

Take look at a new developed Southwood. There is no sidewalk. I can't even walk to my mail box.

We don't even have pavement on our street up on the east hill.......

so why is it always the drivers fault? the pedestrians should be held resposible if they get hit while crossing somewhere not marked

It's called thinning the herd. Something Prince Albert should seriously look at as a viable option. I'm not being fatalistic just making an obsetvation of the general foot traffic of this city.
Commended with the disparaging remarks on my post. It wasn't written to be derogatory and for the love of everything don't turn this into a racial slur. It's NOT about that.

Remember, Pedestrians have Right Of Way ONLY at marked Crosswalks and road intersections, whether marked or not.

so there are several places to cross, that Vehicles SHALL yield to Pedestrians.

but if a pedestrian in P.A. thinks that is going to happen all the time, they are going to get hurt.

the Law is worded such that the pedestrian shall make their intentions known, to allow vehicles ample time to slow and stop. it would be wrong for them to just walk out without notice.

but I routinely see pedestrains standing at a corner on 2nd Ave, waiting for traffic to stop, so they can cross, and they can wait a long time.

It is a shame when the city cannot even clean the sidewalks that exist around the Alfred Jenkins center. They haven't been cleaned and the snow is being trampled on it making it dangerous to walk on.

People should take into account that the city has a budget and most city owned businesses have a person designated at a city owned establishment to perform these tasks... im just tired of people always complaining about the workers... they are seasonal workers and next time your driving past keep your comments and your speed down they have families too... just another dedicated citizen of Prince Albert.

Snow removal in P.A. is a JOKE! Is it a big surprise that it snowed in PA in January? Why isn't the city prepared? Other citys in Canada use machines to clean snow off sidewalks, is this too sophisticated for PA? Is it too hard of a concept to grasp?

We get very little snow in PA, but when it does snow, it seems it takes weeks or months to clean it up. Disgrace!

What makes this issue even more pathetic is the fact we have "Bylaw Enforcement" officers here in town.

This type of violation should not have to be reported to the authorities by the citizens of our fair city. Our police force drives the same streets we do, at all hours of the day and night and as trained officers surely see these violations for themselves... see where I'm going with this?...

I HAVE called the police before to report a traffic infraction and got an immediate result, and the responding officer was professional and courteous.

If you've called before with no results, call again - the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Who cares if you shouldn't have to because there are bylaw people, etc. etc. Sometimes in life you have to keep at it until you get what you want.

I don't like reading alot of the stuff on here cause it really just annoys me with some of the idiots (sorry) that write stuff. But this is one thing I couldn't agree more with!

I think that if the city were to build and maintain sidewalks it would give people the opportunity to walk more. But if the sidewalks are nonexistent or poorly maintained walking becomes dangerous. I recall many winters were I would have walked more but the sidewalks were covered in snow and the intersections had large piles between the sidewalk and the street so it was downright dangerous to walk. In this day and age with all the emphasis on physical fitness it is sad to see that the city cannot make it easier and safer for people to get out and walk more.

Yes we need sidewalks, but the rotary trail is not even complete yet. I think a new bridge at this time is needed more than a sidewalk along there. I have ridden my bike along there at high speed even at night and there is a decent dirt path. (made most likely from foot traffic).

One day, yes it would be nice to have a sidewalk there, but the current situation does not prevent you from walking there....dirt is softer too, so maybe less shin splints ;)

PAGuy: You sound like the kind of guy who drives AROUND a vehicle stopped at an intersection... waiting....

You are eventually going to kill a child who is crossing in front of the stopped vehicle crossing the street.... IN THE LEGAL AND APPROPRIATE WAY!

Tim: Thanks for keeping this open. It is obvious PAGuy's judgement is impaired and can't read the traffic act.

I dislike all the J walkers in town but I have no problem stopping for someone legally trying to cross at a coner. The law is on their side and I think it is also common cortousy to stop for pedestrians trying to legally cross the street. The problem is that often when I stop others try to go around and that makes it dangerous for the pedestrian. I think the police need to enforce the law a bit more by ticketing those who don't stop for pedestrians who try to cross legally and ticket the J walkers who obstruct traffic.

I still see numerous occassions where folks do not allow ROW for pedestrians at intersections.

I wonder what the Police would suggest we try to do about this.

Would reporting it help? with Date/Time, Vehicle, Plate#?

Does the City even bother to look into these sites, to see what is concerning citizens?
