Oakville News received the following letter about safety as the hours of daylight dwindle.
Note to Dog Walkers, Cyclists, e-scooters: It gets dark early now.
However you're still wearing dark clothes and not carrying flashlights or bike lights. Even a cellphone screen switched on would help improve your awful visibility on dark side streets.
Many of you still refuse to use sidewalks when they are available.
Even doing under the speed limit it's still tough to see you folks before it's too late.
You get a scare and then badger your councillor to install speed bumps everywhere.
Please use some common sense and be more visible.
Ron J.
