A.ij..Itce.rit to this school on Ontario 0"treet, a pedes-
I
tri.4.i cross-wallk exists , supposedly used by school child-
")rl 'clon6"'Y I Novem:1,er 10, 19759 during the hours of
8: 30 A.1 . to 9:00 A.M. , I was appallled as to the common
pn.-ictise Being used to cross the street to get to school.
�tr'ldren are crossing this street anywhere and everywhere.
Tlle motorist has no chance at ail not knowing where
to stop. If they stop for the cross-walk where they should
stop , the children cross behind the vehicle or in some cases
a considerable distance in front of the vehicle.
Also, in some cases, cars will stop directly under
the cross-walk sign and discharge children. Again the on
coming motorist is completely confused.
After what I have witnessed here, the following are
my recommendationst
(1) That this cross-walk be enforced
with a school patrol.
(2 ) That this cross-walk be removed
entirely.
Again, I say signs and markings alone are not recomm-
ended, unless someone enforces them constantly. Therefore,
I favour recommendation number one.
