Councillor F. Nunziata

(March 9, 1999)

Forwarding a communication (February 16, 1999) from the Manager, Traffic Operations, District 1, to Ms. Cheryl Smith, Lambton Park Community School, wherein he advises that as requested, a review of the operation of the pedestrian crossover at the above location was undertaken and that based on the results, no further action is justified at this time; and stating that a representative of Lambton Park Community School has indicated that parents and residents in the area still have concerns regarding the safety of children using this crosswalk; and that in the light of the fact that changes to the current crosswalk are not warranted, that Works and Emergency Services be requested to replace the existing yellow flashing light overhead and PXO with a red flashing light; and also that an oversized "School Crossing" sign be installed to assist in increasing pedestrian safety.
