2 .2 A full time adult crossing guard was hired for the
intersection of Liberty Street and Concession Street,

3.0 REVIEW AND CoNmEnT
3 . 1 Crossing Guard Issues
Staff has discussed the crossing guard issues with Mike
Slocombe, School Board Trustee. Mr. Slocombe was advised that
the Municipality uses the same technique, as do most
municipalities in Ontario, for determining the need for adult
school crossing guards, i.e. using a stop watch and measuring
safe gaps between vehicles. The Municipal Policy is based on
criteria recommended by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers which recommends a 70 percent delay before the
introduction of a supervised crossing.
Clarington Council, when establishing its policy, enhanced
this criteria by requiring only a 50% delay in place of the
usual 70% delay. Mr. Slocombe compared our methods with the
City of Oshawa and found the methods to be comparable. It is
important to note that crossing guards are required when
students experience long delays in waiting for safe gaps to
cross a roadway. However, a guard is not required just
because students are not able to cross the street as soon as
they reach it. The purpose of the crossing guard study is to
measure the percentage of delay students can expect in an
unemotional and unbiased manner.
1203
REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-30-95 PAGE 4
3.2 Additional Crossing Guard Studies
As a result of Report WD-30-95 being tabled, additional
studies have been completed, forming a list of completed
studies as follows:
Mearns Avenue at Soper Creek
June 2, 1995 p.m. 35.0%
Sep. 8, 1995 p.m. 37 . 8%
Nov. 2, 1995 p.m. 32 .0%
Sandringham Drive at Dr. Emily Stowe
Feb. 22, 1995 p.m. 26 .0%
Nov. 3, 1995 p.m. 33 .8%
3. 3 Additional Crossing Guard Requests
Since Report WD-30-95 was tabled, three (3) additional
crossing guard requests for Vincent Massey Public School have
been registered as a result of bus cancellations.
a) Concession Street and Mearns Avenue
The Northumberland-Clarington Board of Education
Operations and Finance Committee held a special meeting
in Bowmanville on November 1, 1995. At the meeting, a
resolution was approved to eliminate additional busing in
a zone north of Concession Street and east of Mearns
Avenue. This decision, ratified on November 23, will
take effect on December 4, 1995. On November 81 1995,
the Public Works Department completed a section of
sidewalk on the north side of Concession Street near
Soper Creek Drive, fronting "Participation House" , to
facilitate those students required to walk after December
4, 1995 . Additional studies have been completed for this
location, as follows:
1204
REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-30-95 PAGE 5
Concession Street East Side of Mearns
Sep. 8, 1995 p.m. 44.2%
Nov. 7, 1995 p.m. 36 .7%
Nov. 8, 1995 p.m. 35.8%
b) Private Entrance-only Driveway to Bowmanville High School
and Fitness Centre
This private entrance-only driveway is very busy with
young students walking south along Liberty Street and
vehicles entering school property. This situation only
exists in the morning period and could be improved if the
admission hours of the two (2) schools were staggered.
The Board could also consider speed bumps on the private
driveway and periodic reminders over the public address
system to their students and teachers to use caution.
Additional crossing guard studies have been completed for
the private entrance, as follows:
Sep. 14, 1995 a.m. 61.0%
Nov. 3, 1995 a.m. 69 .4%
C) Church Street at Lambert Street (at Vincent Massey Public
School)
The cancellation of busing has resulted in more parents
driving students to school and more pedestrians crossing
Church Street. During October of 1995, the Public Works
Department constructed a sidewalk on the north side of
Church Street, from Liberty Street easterly to Vincent
Massey Public School. The purpose of the sidewalk was to
improve pedestrian flow from the new adult guard placed
at the intersection of Liberty and Concession Streets and
eliminate the need for the students to cross Church
Street.
1205
REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-30-95 PAGE 6
The School is now requesting an additional sidewalk on
the east side of St. George Street, from Ring Street to
Church Street. The additional sidewalk would further
improve student safety by allowing 110 students to follow
the sidewalk without having to cross Church Street. This
proposed sidewalk on St. George Street will be included
in the 1996 budget deliberations. This location is
presently monitored by student patrollers and a teacher
during the afternoon dismissal. A crossing guard study
on September 14 showed the afternoon results to produce
a warrant of only 25.7%.
3.4 Other Alternatives
A number of alternatives to hiring adult crossing guards at
unwarranted locations is being presented to Council in more
detail in a separate report to Council regarding a crossing
guard request for Orono. The alternatives include obtaining
adult crossing guards through volunteers or as co-op students.
Some guards ' hours could also be limited to just the afternoon
or morning periods if they are warranted. Parents could also
form car pools or walking groups if they are concerned about
the safety of their children walking across or along the
streets.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4. 1 From the above, it is concluded that a consistent policy be
maintained and adult crossing guards not be hired when the
percentage delay of crossings is less than the approved
warrant of 50%, which has been reduced from the 70% warrant
normally used to determine the need for an adult school
crossing guard.
1206
REPORT NO. : ADDENDUM TO WD-30-95 PAGE 7
4.2 The crossing location at the private entrance-only driveway to
the Bowmanville High School, showing a 61 to 69% warrant
figure, should not require an adult guard if the students are
reminded to use caution, and the school hours are staggered
for the next school year.

2.1 At a regular meeting held on June 12, 1995, Council passed the

"THAT the correspondence received from Donna Cartier
requesting the placement of an adult crossing guard and
/or a stop sign on Sandringham Drive, be received;
1210
REPORT NO. : WD-30-95 PAGE 3
THAT the correspondence be referred to the Director of

THAT Donna Cartier be advised of Council's decision. "
Correspondence from the Northumberland-Clarington Board of
Education dated April 20, 1995 and May 16, 1995 requested a
permanent guard at the Concession Street/Liberty Street
intersection in Bowmanville and a guard for one year on Beaver
Street at Robert Street in Newcastle during construction of
the new school.
Phone calls were received from Lora Henderson of 36
Strathmanor Drive and Carol Mitchell of 33 Soper Creek Drive
requesting an adult guard on Mearns Avenue at Soper Creek
Drive.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3.1 Adult School Crossing Guard Policy:
Council's Policy on the placement of adult school crossing
guards, as contained in Report PD-47-911 was approved by
Council on February 25, 1991. In essence, Council Policy
requires a minimum of only 50% delay time or difficulty in
crossing before placement of an adult school crossing guard
will be considered. This is more. lenient than the provincial
guidelines.
3.2 Concession Street / Liberty Street Crossing, Bowmanvi_lle
During 1994, a sidewalk was completed along the east side of
Liberty Street connecting Ring Street to Concession Street.
As a result of the new sidewalk installation, the School Board
can fulfill a commitment to eliminate busing those students
within a 1.6 km walking distance of the school. The Board has
1211
REPORT NO- : WD-30-95 PAGE 4
improved bus efficiency with double or triple runs, but can
save approximately $27,000 per year for each bus it can
eliminate.
The School Board estimates 50 students from Vincent Massey
Public School and -20 from Bowmanville Senior Public School
will be crossing Concession Street at the beginning of
September, 1995.
The Concession Street/Liberty Street intersection is a'
warranted and busy all-way stop intersection which has more
volume than the all-way stop intersection of Nash Road and
Trulls Road, Courtice, which presently has an adult guard.
When the crossing study periods were reviewed and pro-rated to
an hourly comparison, the results are as follows:
(Vehicles per hour)
Period Liberty / Concession Nash / Trulls
am 894 984
pm 1044 600
Total 1938 1584
Paul Brace, Manager of Transportation and Planning of the
Northumberland-Clarington Board of Education, has indicated
that this is their top priority request for an adult guard.
A study of traffic crossing Concession Street and passing
through the pedestrian area on-the east side of Liberty Street
produced a warrant of 53.9% which is above the 50% level
approved by Council as the point to consider implementation of
an adult guard. This intersection has experienced 10 motor
vehicle accidents during the past three years.
3.3 Mearns Avenue / Soper Creek Drive Crossing, Bowmanville
A guard is being requested at this uncontrolled intersection
by two parents, Lora Henderson and Carol Mitchell, not by the
I
21Z_
REPORT NO. : WD-30-95 - PAGE 5
School Board. Some of the students on the east side of Mearns
Avenue are presently inside the 1.6 km walking distance and
will have their busing discontinued in September of 1995.
The School Board has advised parents that students should walk
southerly from the intersection - to the traffic lights at
Mearns Avenue and Ring Street, then to Vincent Massey School,
a distance of 1.27 km. The parents would like the
Municipality to provide a crossing guard on Mearns Avenue at
Soper Creek Drive combined with the Board building and
maintaining a sidewalk on school property which connects
Galbraith Court to Vincent Massey School. These two
expenditures would reduce the walking distance by
approximately 300 meters.
Paul Brace, from the School Board, has advised that funds are
not available for a sidewalk on school property to properly
facilitate this short cut for the students. Mr Brace also -
notes that if the sidewalk and guard were provided, the 1.6 km
walking distance would be extended 300 m and eliminate busing
for more students in the subdivision east of Mearns Avenue.
The crossing guard study produced a warrant of only 35%,
whereas Council's policy is not to consider an adult guard
unless 50% of the warrant is met. The traffic volumes exiting
and:;entering Mearns Avenue at Ring Street are relatively light
and would not require an adult guard in addition to the
traffic signals.
3.4 Beaver Street / Robert Street Crossing, Newcastle
The School Board is requesting an adult guard at this location
for a one year duration only. The Board is constructing a new
school behind the existing Newcastle Public School and is
concerned about extra congestion and confusion created by
construction traffic. This uncontrolled intersection is
1213
REPORT NO. : WD-30-95 PAGE 6{-
presently supervised by student patrollers and requests for
adult guards have been turned down in the past due to very low
results on the warrant studies.
As an alternative to an adult guard, it would be beneficial
for the School Board to require the contractor building the
school to direct all construction traffic to use Robert
Street, proceeding south to the construction entrance, to keep
unwanted traffic away from Beaver Street. The written
warnings to the contractors could . also be supplemented with
roadside signs at Robert Street and James Street stating "No
construction traffic of any type beyond this point. Use Mill
Street and Robert Street. "
3.5 Sandringham Drive Crossing at Dr. Emily Stowe School, Courtice
Council reviewed Report WD-22-94 dated April 18, 1994 which
showed low crossing guard warrant study results of only 26%
and turned down this request because it was well below the 50%
requirement. The mid block crossing location at the school
is presently monitored by student patrollers.
Traffic studies have shown that the speeds and volume of
traffic on Sandringham Drive are considerably less than those
on Glenabbey Drive. Stop sign requests near schools- are
common, but this location does not meet provincial guidelines.
Alternatives will be reviewed by the Clarington Traffic
Committee which is presently investigating school safety as
part of the Nash Road Study.
3.6 Existing Crossing Guards
The Municipality presently employs 18 adult crossing guards at
an annual cost of approximately $5,590.00 each per school
year, with two rovers to fill in during periods of absence.
No funding has been allocated for expansion of the program.
A list of existing locations is shown as Attachment No.S.
1214
REPORT -NO. : WD-30-95 P1�GE 7
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 From the above, it is concluded:
That the request for a crossing guard at Mearns Avenue/Soper
Creek Drive be denied, as a guard is not warranted and
students can safely cross at the traffic signals at Mearns
Avenue and Ring Street.
4.2 That the request for an adult crossing guard on Saadringham
Drive and/or an all-way stop be denied, as the student
patrollers are capable of assisting the younger students
across with the existing traffic volumes.
4.3 That the request for an adult crossing guard on Beaver Street
for the 1995/96 school year be denied, as construction traffic
should be diverted away from the crossing location.
4.4 That an adult guard be placed at the busy intersection of
Concession Street and Liberty_ Street, which meets the warrant
'for an adult crossing guard..

Dear Frank
Re: Crossing Guard Request
This request is in regards to Newcastle Public School in the
village of Newcastle.
When Beaver Street was converted from a one-way to a two-way street
in 1992, traffic congestion in front of Newcastle Public School
increased. A request for a crossing guard was made (see attached)
but was denied since the criteria for the placement of a guard were
not present.
As you are aware, the Board is constructing a new .school on the
eastern edge of the current school property. Construction is
scheduled to begin this summer and continue throughout -the 1995-96
school year_ A temporary construction access is planned for the
southern extremity of the current site from the south end of Beaver
Street to the new school site. This will result in heavy truck
traffic and increased traffic volume on Beaver Street during the
construction period.
Therefore, to facilitate the safe passage of students, we are
requesting the placement of a crossing guard in front of Newcastle
Public School during the 1995-96 school year only.
I appreciate your careful consideration in this matter and look
forwar, to your response_

Dear Frank
This is in reference to a crossing guard request.
The recent conversion of Beaver Street from a one-way to a two-
way street near Newcastle Public School has caused some concerns.
Traffic now has easier access to- this area, causing some amount of
confusion before and after school.
Due to the added congestion, I wish to request the placement of a
crossing guuard on Beaver Street in front of Newcastle Public
School to facilitate the safe passage of our students.
Please advise as to the outcome of your analysis.

Dear Frank
Re: Crossing Guard Request
This request refers to an area in north Bowmanville affecting
students attending Vincent Massey Public School and Bowmanville
Senior Public School.
Currently, students who live north and south of Concession Street
between Liberty Street. and Mearns Avenue are bussed to school.
Since continuous sidewalks have been installed on the east side of
Liberty Street, we have reviewed-the area and discovered that many
of the children are within the walking zone and can now walk to
school using the sidewalk system. '
However, the students north of Concession Street (Apple Blossom
area) will have to cross Concession Street enroute to school. The
Principal of Vincent Massey Public School and this office feels
that a crossing guard would assist the safe passage of younger
students at the intersection of Concession and Liberty Streets.
3 request that a crossing guard be placed at the intersection of
Concession and Liberty Streets to facilitate the safe passage of
students, effective September 1995 .
Please advise as to the outcome of your analysis.
