The City of Port Coquitlam

The street Is not very wide and the drivers of the vehicles often
have to back up two or three times in order to turn around to get
out from tne street. The drivers also use _ the driveways of
property owners residing on this street in order to turn around
and get back out from the street.

One Incident which occurred on December 2, 1988 and was witnessed
by Carolyn Hoare and severa! other persons on the schoo! grounds
at 8:50 a.m., which events are as follows:

"Several cars had driven down Salisbury Street to let
off thelr children and there was quite a chaos at the
end where they can go no further and they must try and
back up In between cars and children walking. A garbage
truck also came down the street to attend to pick up of
garbage on Salisbury Avenue’ but could not get through
due to the cars blocking him at the end of the street
by the schoo! ground. A woman driving a car panicked
when she saw the truck and started backing wp and
almost hit one of the day children of Mrs. Hoare. This
Incldent caused quite an uproar for all the parents
watching and the driver of the truck was quite upset
about ' this Incident ‘as it delayed his
schedule. Mrs. Hoare then proceeded to Mr. McNamee’s
office, called the police about her concerns and also
called the School Trustee and City Hall about the truck
driver, witnout any success from any of the
aforementioned persons.

We have had several further conversations since the incident
referred to above with Mr. MacNamee who has in turn telephoned
the police, however, we have not yet seen the police patrol the
drop off and pick up on the aforementioned street.

We have also had a conversation with Pattie Brown who resided
at 1945 Salisbury Avenue for two years, however, she has now
chosen to move from this street. Mrs. Brown has Informed us that
she has... made several complaints to Viscount Alexander School,
City Hall and the police without success. We enclose herewith a
copy of a letter written by Mrs. Brown to City Hall dated January
30, 1986 (letter de!ivered to the City of . Port Coquitiam was a
typed fetter In the same form as the handwritten letter attached
and was malled during the week of February 17, 1986) wherein she
expresses her concerns with respect to the persons driving down
this street In order to let off or pick up thelr chlidren by the
school grounds. She also states in her letter that this Is quite
hazardous for the children walking and that there may wel] be a
serious accident In the near future.
