experiencing at Kilmer Elemsntery School. This sroslem poses an extreme
nezerc to chileren 321

ne creppec off enc oacestriens along soth Kneppen
Street enc Psoley Streat, most of which are stucents enc perents with
siblings. Thera hes elreacy aosn a minor imciceant reportec in November
1990, were @ child wen Sumpac uy e car. During the weele of January 7th
this toafFic situation was crestly exsgcerstad oy the amecunt of snow we
were left ts nettle through. Kneppen Street then necam: 2 cne lane

temporerily aelicviete the s n

2 tioms which I'm sure will
mountil the sroposed turna.cund

A. Toa construct @ sidewall om Knappen Street anc “ooley
Street om tne Soulevarcs ecjecemt ta the school, in
orcer to keep our chilcren anc parents of tha street :
and out of hermes wey. The cost of which is minimal
when considering the price of our chilcrens lives.

B. Request For By-lew chance: To place appropriate FOKm/ Hour
scnool zone sions et ooth snes of Knappen Street between
Pooley Street am: Colunsia Street. The only way theses
sions will be effcctive however, is if we have police
petrolling this straet to ensure the proper speed is iste
aeing enforcec. It has ‘seem my observations thet the
oresent school zone on Pitt Aiver Aoad is effsezive
2eceuse there is police petralling it.

IT nave lived on Kneppen Street since Oscember 1988 amc have become witness

to an increese in volume of cars that has tripled since I have lived here. There
hes been an increase of stucants, at Kilmer School, from 200 to ==S stucents

in the pest Few years, with French Immersion stucents commuting From a wide

aree of District ¢2. Que to the increase of cars thet are paricec on yoth
