Dear Sirs:

Re: Traffic Problem at Viscount School at or near
the intersection of Oxford Street & Sdlisbury Avenue

Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

My name is Kathy Pedersen and I have resided with my family at 1844
Dorset Avenue, Port Coquitlam, B.C. for the past eight years.

I am writing this letter in order to voice my concerns about the
safety of the children using the cross walk located at the
intersection of Oxford Street and Salisoury Avenue, Port Coquitlam,

B.C. by Viscount Schoo}.

I have chosen to walk my childrep to school and pick them up since
my daughter entered kindergarten in 1985 due to the traffic
problems we were then encountering in the 1900 block of Salisbury
Avenue whereby people would drive down this dead end street to let
their kids off at the gate at the rear of Viscount School. These
cars posed a real problem for kids walking on this. part of
Salisbury Avenue as well as for the kids when crossing the cross
walk at Oxford Street and Salisbury Avenue as cars would be pulling
out and crossing Oxford Street without too much care for the kids
crossing. I have attached copies of this correspondence for your
reference. In response to this particular problem, a sign was
posted at the end of the street at the gate to Viscount School
saying "No drop off or pick up beyond this point", however, people
still chose to drive down this street to drop off their kids at the
gate. S . CO

Due to the construction of the new "Viscount Middle School" on the
Viscount site, Salisbury Avenue has been extended through the
school grounds to meet up with Flint Street on the other side of
the school and made into a one way street for drop off and pick up

with the exit located at the intersection of Salisbury Avenue. and
Oxford Street. a . .
