Barrier Petition Is The Mission

A Rondeau woman has scored a meeting with Ontario's Minister of Transportation on Wednesday afternoon to discuss her petition.

Alysson Storey wants median barriers on Hwy. 401 from Tilbury to London to keep people safer and has about 2,000 names backing her efforts.

Storey hopes the province sees the need for the barriers.

Storey's friends, Sarah and Freya Payne, were killed on Hwy. 401 near Dutton at the end of August when a pickup truck crossed the median and struck their van head-on.

Rick Nicholls, MPP for Chatham-Kent-Essex, is also calling for median barriers and the widening of Hwy. 401 across Chatham-Kent.
