MCK proactive traffic mitigation measures

Proactive steps to address growing concerns over traffic and public safety in the community are being taken by Council. The MCK, in collaboration with Public Safety, Public Works and the Kahnawake Peacekeepers, are taking measures to mitigate the impacts of increased road traffic and enhance the safety of all Kahnawa’kehró:non. In addition to the approval of establishing a dedicated highway patrol division within the Kahnawake Peacekeepers and the recent change to school bus services on Route 207, some additional potential measures being considered to address traffic and public safety issues include:  The possibility of implementing a photo radar system; the banning of trucks on certain roads during peak traffic hours; closing certain residential roads during peak traffic hours; implementing pace cars on certain roads during peak traffic hours; improved monitoring and traffic control measures; installing cameras and arms on school buses; assigning a Peacekeeper vehicle to accompany school buses to increase the safety of children; and the feasibility of a toll collection system.
