Woolwich residents lined up at a public meeting over a proposed Elmira bypass to dispute the Region of Waterloo’s claims about the amount of traffic using Arthur Street each day.
Many, including former regional chair Ken Seiling, asked the municipality to carry out another study amid fears that low figures were being used as an excuse to delay or avoid building a new multi-million-dollar road to divert traffic from downtown.
The count, carried out during the pandemic in 2022, found that 22,900 vehicles, including 1,050 trucks, travelled along Arthur Street over a 24-hour period.
