REPORT NO. WD -87 -84
REPORT:
The attached correspondence has been received from the
Peterborough - Victoria - Northumberland and Newcastle Roman
Catholic Separate School Board requesting a school bus
loading zone on the west side of Rhonda Blvd., adjacent to
St. Stephen's School. A school bus loading zone would
enable buses loading and discharging students to do so in
compliance with the Highway Traffic Act with a minimum of
problems. Due to the unpredictable actions of school
children in the school yard and parking lot, it is dangerous
for buses to enter the parking lot to load and discharge
students. Backing up manoeuvres could result in injury or
fatality. Loading and discharging on the road without
benefit of a legal loading zone would necessitate the use of
flashing lights on the bus over extended periods of time
which would interfere with other traffic using the street.
As the implementation of the above recommendation is
consistent with the practice of other schools in Town,
passing of the attached by -law would be appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
r
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.

Dear Mr. Oakes,
Please be advised that we wish to have a bus loading zone
established in front of St. Stephen's School, 80 Rhonda Blvd.,
Bowmanville, Ontario.
The loading zone is already marked by wooden stakes. The
length of the area should be 90 feet to accomodate 2 - 66 passenger
vehicles.
Safety Officer Anderson of the Durham Police Department of
Bowmanville has offered his assistance in this matter.
