the coroners jury at the inquest
into the death of Sharvl Huhtala

mendations made by the PTA
over several vears.

This time the parents said
“enough.” and at a_ public
meeting at Alderson School on
Feb. 24. with 175 in attendance.
demands called for adult patrols
to be hired: lit crosswalk signs to
be erected at these crossings:
reduction of speed limit to 30
MPH and solid no passing line
through this area. The demands
were backed up by a threat to
picket the highway for one week
and if no action was taken. to
keep the children out of school

The following night. Feb. 25. a
delegation packed Coquitlam
Council Chambers and demanded
the Council adopt the
recommendations in_ principle.
Only by refusing to be silenced
were Executive of the Parents
Auxiliary able to have a special
meeting of the Traffic and Safety
Committee convened on Feb. 26.
two nights later

The Council agreed at this
special meeting to the hiring of
adult patrols for these two inter-
sections and one other on busy
Blue Mountain Street. The
representatives of the Highways
Dep't would make no promises
tor the other demands contingent
on them but promised a study
would be made. After 8 vears its
about time a study was made.

Mrs. Eunice Parker. President
of Alderson Parents Auxiliary
said. ‘We are still awaiting word
from Victoria. Their whole
emphasis is placed on moving
traffic with safety only faintly
considered. We feel that the
hiring of adult patrols was a real
breakthrough and they were on
the job 3 days later. However. it

have to be literally fought for
corner by corner and recom-
mendations are never heeded
until a tragedy occurs.’ She said
the parents group will continue to
press the Minister of Highways
until satisfaction is achieved.
