M A IN STREET IS G REAT
— BU T DANGEROUS
The advantages that we gain in developing
a new community are many times accompanied
by disadvantages that must be overcome by
intelligent planning.
Nyssa has a newly surfaced Main street
through the courtesy and co-operation of the
state highway department and everyone agrees
it is a great improvement over the street o f a
year ago.
As tourists and Nyssa motorists hit the
smooth surface the urge to speed surges through
their being. Cars and trucks spring forward in
a parade o f speed, increasing the natural haz
ards o f automobile traffic.
We Have Opened
A Fruit Stand

Main street is a really fine thoroughfare for
a small town, but the danger is terrific, with
an especially dangerous traffic hazard at each
end of the street. Some method will have to be
developed to slow down traffic on Main street
and educate the people to cross only at inter
sections. Pedestrian lanes should be painted
across the street, not only at the schoolhouse,
but the full length of the street.
Caution signs should be installed both on the
Ontario and Adrian sides of the “ Y ” near the
grade school building and on the east side of
the underpass. Especially tourists do not realize
the danger- that they face as they emerge on the
west side pf the underpass.
A sensible speed law must be enforced and
pedestrians required to 'walk in designated
places.
