RE: PLAYGROUND CAUTION SIGNS ON 2200 BLOCK WELCHER AVENUE.

Dear committee members:

As concerned parents (and block parents) we bring to your attention the
urgent necessity of placing Caution Playground signs on the 2200 Block of
Welcher Avenue. As the community grows so does the concerns for the safity of
our children. With the development of several multi-Family residents in our
community we find more Speeders using this area as = throughway. There are
cars speeding up and down the block at all hours of the day and night. this puts
children's lives in great danger as they attempt to crossover Welcher to access
Elk Park. \We have witnessed more than a couple of near miss as children
attempt to safely cross:.ver to play in a safe play area. We feel ideally that signs
should be placed at either end of the block to ensure proper speeds are
maintained so that children lives are not endangered by speeding cars. . We
have already talked with the police as to the speeder and the concern for the
safety of the children. . They are more than willing to do what they can to stop
the speeders and mxke this a safer enviroment for the children.Now with your

heip we feel that we can and will be able to make this neighbourhood a safer
place for the children to jive and grow up in.

Thank-you
