Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop raising a red flag concerning the safety of an intersection just west of Orillia on Highway 12.
He is calling on the Ministry of Transportation to install traffic lights at the intersection of Highway 12 and Fairgrounds Road in Orillia.
Dunlop says his main concern is about the safety of the travelling public and the transportation of children to Notre Dame Catholic School.
He says intersection is a main traffic link for the school, for ODAS Park fairgrounds and businesses in that area and have received concerns about the congestion, the lengthy delays in pulling out safely onto the highway.
Dunlop says he also has heard from parents who are worried about safety issues as they attempt to pick up or drop off their children at the school.
He says one woman told him she will sometimes sit for 20 minutes to a half an hour waiting to pull safely out onto the highway.
Dunlop has now started up a petition asking the the Ministry of Transportation to install traffic lights at the intersection of Highway 12 and Fairgrounds Road as soon as possible.
