City Council meeting

Charlottetown city council voted 9-0 to ban smoking in cars with children at a city council meeting March 10.
Smoking will also be banned from restaurants, bars, and for the first time in Canada, hospitals.
Streets are another high priority to members of Charlottetown city council as they announced renovations to multiple streets across the city.
itchell Tweel suggested University to Queen Streets should get a professional engineer to look at it because of dangers to the public. Such dangers include storm water, lack of sidewalks, and the overall condition of the street.
Tweel said they have been talking about this problem for the past three years and has yet to see action on the issue.
University to Queen is not the only street that Tweel would like to see fixed up. He also mentioned University to Euston.
The lights need to be changed to help the flow of traffic, he said.
“Residents are concerned about traffic flow. It’s too dangerous.”
Another street that was mentioned during the meeting was St. Peters Road. There were complaints about pedestrians not being seen on the top of the hill on the road so a suggestion was made to have a sign over the crosswalk cautioning drivers of pedestrians crossing.
Coun. Cecil Villard said he would like to see something done regarding crosswalks for the whole city, and would like to see a big change by spring.
“We’re really pleased to know there’ll be something done,” he said.
