Road safety will be the focus of two workshops in Chester later this week. The municipality has been selected to participate in a "Share the Road" awareness campaign led by the Nova Scotia government and Dalhousie University. The workshops will seek public input and examine how road safety can be improved so drivers, cyclists and pedestrians feel safe using the roads in their community. Chester's transportation co-coordinator, Gordon Tate, says each community offers a different form of road-use.
Chester will partner with Dalhousie for the community consultations set to be held on Thursday. The workshops will be held at Forest Heights in Chester Grant (3PM) and Aspotogan Heritage Trust building in Hubbards (7PM).
