City Staff recommended against the guard rail. The head of Municipal Operations for the city Kevin Rice points out too many drivers are speeding along that stretch of rural road and he questions how far the city should have to go to protect people from themselves.
Common Councillor John MacKenzie calls it a dangerous section of roadway at any speed.
Fellow Councillor Ray Strowbridge, who's a paramedic agrees, saying you could be going at 30 kilometers an hour on a winter's day and easily miss the turn which is tight go down the embankment and it would be him bringing you back up on a spine board.
It's expected the guard rail will be up before the first snow falls and the city also plans to put up a sign warning drivers of a curve in the road ahead.
