It was a great turnout on an overcast Saturday as The Toronto Triumph Club and the MG Car Club of Toronto, along with other classic cars, were on display on Hunter Street—as well as local vendors.

Peterborough Community Police's Traffic Managment Unit has released stats so far this year for the Top 10 intersections for collisions (and what the Top 10 were last year).
Here's the breakdown...
2012 So Far
Step back to the '50s with the vehicles of the movie "Foxfire", which is being filmed here in Peterborough this week...
The Peterborough Motor Sports Club is one of the oldest such clubs in Canada. It is a multi-discipline organization, promoting safe and supervised competition in road rallies, performance rallies, solo events, ice racing and more. Last night, the club held their yearly awards ceremony and the following awards were handed out...
UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 13th, 3:30 p.m. Here's the latest from CHEX Newswatch's Greg Davis on the Fleming strike, the picket line, the students and the growing frustration on both sides.
UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 9th, 10:32 a.m. BREAKING NEWS: From Special Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service Release...
Youtube video leads to arrest:
Further to the youtube video that circulated that depicted a vehicle driving through the strike line at Sir Sandford Fleming College and the ongoing police investigation. On the 9th of September 2011 20 year old Isaac Tilstra of Peterborough turned himself into the Peterborough Police station. Tilstra is charged with Dangerous Driving and was held for a bail hearing on the 9th of September 2011 to begin the process to determine his guilt or innocence.

UPDATE: Dumb and Dumber had the slight smarts to remove the video, but Donald Fraser over at Small Print blog made a copy before they did so which has now been passed around. So, if you haven't watched it, here it is:

ORIGINAL POST
Sure frustation is mounting at the long lines, but this is utterly unexcusable. Someone could have been seriously hurt. Listen as the driver speeds up as he approaches the line. And they laugh about it. Dumb and dumber.

Last night at the Evinrude Centre was the third and last Public Involvement Centre (PICs) meeting. The City of Peterborough showed Morrison Hershfield's recommended Road Network plan, Cycling Network plan and Pedestrian Network plan. |
|
The new Masterplan is an update to the 2002 Transport Plan to address Peterborough's population growth and traffic concerns.
Studies have shown that streets with no sidewalks have 2.6 times more pedestrian collisions, so the new plan calls for sidewalks on both sides of all new and existing streets.
Work is already underway as well on both the Hospital Access Road extension and to widen the West end of Lansdowne, but there is plenty of other planned—and suggested—roadwork to come. Indeed, $14 million is budgeted to improve the Nassau Mills Bridge over the Otonabee River, widen Nassau Mills from Water to Armour, make improvements to Chemong/Reid, the Charlotte Westbound Parking lane conversion, and to widen Eastbound Sherbrooke.
As we previously reported, many residents of Fairbairn Ave were very interested in the City's Medium term plans to build a two lane road from Fairbairn to Cumberland. Some consider it the City trying to still put through the Parkway Extension.
