CD-18-85 - Fi
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD
HIGHWAY #2, NEWCASTLE (ARSENAULT & BEDARD)
• RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the fallowing:
1. That this report be received; and
2. That the request for placement of a School Crossing Guard at Highway
#2 and Stephenson's Side Road be not approved; and

Newcastle, and G. Bedard, R.R. #2, Newcastle, be advised of the

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the Council Meeting of April 9th 1985, Council received the correspondence
from Mr. and Mrs. Arsenault, requesting the placement of a Crossing Guard at
Highway #2 and Stephenson's Side Road, and passed a resolution receiving
the correspondence and directing:
"THAT the correspondence be referred to Staff
for review and a report to the General Purpose
and Administration Committee on the questions
raised by Mr. and Mrs. Arsenault."
At the meeting of April 22, 1985, reference was made to a letter dated
April 11, 1985, received from G. Bedard, R. R. #2, Newcastle, respecting
the same subject.

In accordance with Council's direction, the By-law Enforcement Officer
carried out an investigation and submitted the following report:
"I attended the location in question on the morning of Tuesday,
April 9, 1985, and observed a group of children on the south
shoulder of Highway #2 awaiting the arrival of their bus.
When the bus arrived, the driver activated his stop signal and
four-way flashers, effectively bringing east and westbound traffic
to a complete stop. The safety equipment remained in operation
until the children had crossed Highway #2 and were safely in the
bus. Upon returning to the office, I telephoned Mr. Archie Groth,
General Manager, Charterways Bus Lines, in order to find out
whether or not he had been made aware of the parents concern.
• Mr. Groth informed me that yes, approximately 1 year ago, the
issue was raised and at that time the transportation safety
officer for Charterways, Mrs. Christine Rauket, investigated
the matter and concluded that the situation was well in hand.
Mrs. Rauket's opinion was shared by both the Northumberland
Board of Education and the Durham Regional Police."
-cb~
Based upon the preceeding commentary, it would appear that a guard is not
required. Accordingly, it is recommended, that the request for the placement
of a crossing guard at Highway #2 and Stephenson's Side Road be denied, and
the applicants, Mr. & Mrs. Paul Arsenault, and G. Bedard be advised.
• Respectfully submitted,
David W. Oakes, B.A., A.M.C.T.,
