COUNCIL BRIEFS:

Sarnia council has endorsed a County of Lambton report recommending the speed limit on Lakeshore Rd. between Mandaumin Rd. and Telfer Rd. be maintained at 70km/h.

Councillor Anne-Marie Gillis voiced concerns of discrepancies between details in the report and a community petition. Mayor Mike Bradley clarified the report was sent for city input as a courtesy since the county owns the road.

A second crossing guard has been approved at Errol Road Public School. The school's principal and city police had voiced concerns of drivers not yielding to students on the east side of the Indian Rd. intersection.
