Dear Mr. McNamee:

Re: Traffic Problems on Salisbury Avenue

_ Thank you for your letter of December 16, 1988, In response to the
concerns raised by you and some parents of your students the City's Traffic
Technician has conducted a site investigation and prepared a brief report with
recommendations. A copy of this report is enclosed for your information.
“This matter was considered by the City’s “Traffic Committee which consists
of two aldermen, the NCO in charge of the local R.C.M.P. Traffic Division, the
City's Bylaw Enforcement. Officer and myself. The Committee considered the
facts in this matter and. adopted the recommendations contained in the attached
report. ‘By way of this” letter, I am following the Committee's instruction to.
“forward a request to you and the. School Board to consider the provision of a
sui table pick-up and drop-off area within the school. ‘property. AS additional
information, | the Committee also considered the suggestions submitted by some
parents to implement "NO. U-Turn, Local Traffic Only and No Drop-off or
Pick-up" restrictions on. Salisbury. Avenue. The Committee did not support
these suggestions due to the impracticality and difficulty. of enforcing these
restrictions. The creation of a pick-up/drop-off area within the Flint road
‘allowance. was considered at the same time. This proposal was also rejected
‘because of the elevation difference between the road boulevard and the school >
property. Based on the site conditions it would appear that improvements to
the existing | road on school property to enable the proper dropping-off and
“picking-up of students would be a | better solution. ae
