SCHOOL BUS LOADING ZON2s_
At the October 239 1975, Works Committee meeting , Resol-
ution No. 467-75 referred the Board of Education request to
myself for a cost estimate of the work involved.
The cost of each loading zone for signing, including ere-
ction, would be approximately $80.00 plus future maintenance®
When considering a By-law for school bus loading zones, I feel
certain criterias should be met, such as the number of buses
stopping to pickup or discharge children during various times
of the day. Also, the volume of traffic during those times, and
the sepcified time each bus would be stopped. I would recommend
that tc have a school bus loading zone the minimum number of
buses should be four. In some areas considering the volume of
traffic , the number of buses could be extended to six.
Bowmanville Senior Elementary School on Queen Street has
two buses in the A.M. and two again at 3:30 P.M. Central Public
School on Elgin Street has one bus in the A.M., one at 11930 A.M. ,
one at DOO P.M. and one at 3930 P.M. Ontario Street Public

Ont,'tiric, Street Public School on Ontario
Street at this time.
Fronti.ng this school is a cross-walk pro-
perly signed, therefore immediately north
or south of the existing cross-walk buses
can stop to load or discharge children.
However, I do recommend a school safety
patrol.
