Dear Mr. Chong:
Re: Lack of marked crossings - Kilmer School

As a resident of the Kilmer School area, it has come to my
attention that there is a complete lack of marked cross-waiks on the
streets surrounding this elementary achool. I am an active member
of the executive of the Kilmer Home & School Association and this
subject has been of concern to us.

There is a day-care centre, Mary Hill Childrens Centre, operating
acroos the road from Kilmer School. Although kindergarden children
who use the day-care are walked to school by a staff member of the centre,
other children using the centre (from grades 1 through 7) cross without
supervision and without the benefit of a marked crossing between the
centre and the school. I have spoken to the staff at the day-care and
they would welcome a marked crossing. A crossing at the corner of
Knappen and Pooley Streets would provide safety benefits to the day-
care students and other Kilmer School students who must cross Knappen
Street to attend school.

The intersection of Taylor and Pooley Streets is another location
that would benefit from a marked crossing. Many children cross at
this three way intersection te attend school. At present, this inter-

section has only one stop sign.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. I look forward
to receiving your comments.

Yours ruly,
