FINAL DRAFT

My Dear Mr. ,

I understand you are our new Minister . Congratulations on your new position.

I am writing to ask you to please verify what has happened to the Municipality of Chelsea’s request for traffic lights and/or stop signs and/or a roundabout at the intersection of Route 105 and Old Chelsea Road. 

As I understand it our Council and Mayor have requested this of your department and can do no more in order to facilitate the amelioration of what can be considered a most difficult intersection. Given the increased tourism traffic and density this intersection is becoming more and more of a problem. I know that this matter has been brought up to Council for many years. They have done all they can do and it is now in your hands. As it has been for quite some time.

Would you please explain why after all this time nothing by the MTQ has been done? Would you be so kind as to share with us exactly where that request to your department has gone?

We in Chelsea have put up with and continue to put up with a huge transformation of our little town. We residents have not asked for much. This is something we have asked for. It is only fair that if you and others are going to create such a tourist destination that you consider this matter immediately.

I am looking forward to your response.

Sincerely yours,

Sylvia Shawcross
