The Town of Petawawa is considering lowering the speed limit on Rantz Road along the Black Bay shoreline. The discussion to reduce the speed from 50 km/hour to 40km/hour was held as a part of the council meeting on October 7th. Chair of the Petawawa Police Services Board and Petawawa councillor James Carmody says it would be for a one kilometre section of the road near where the boat launch is. Carmody says there is increased pedestrian traffic near the water and he adds it’s a small narrow road so it’s not safe to go any faster. Staff will prepare a report for consideration at a later date.
