Dear Sirs

Re Salisbury Avenue
East of Viscount School

We are writing this letter In order to bring to your attention
the problems arising on Sallsbury Avenue, Port Coquitiam,
B.C. (east of Viscount School). We provide the following
information:

The 1900 biock of Salisbury Avenue is a dead end street with a
sign posted "dead end street" at the entrance to the
street. There are also "no parking signs" pe ted along both sides
of the street. ,

The problems we are facing !s that there are a number of people
driving thelr children to school and using this narrow street in
order to drive thelr children right to the chain fence located on
the school grounds. The Principal of Viscount Alexander School,
Mr. James McNamee, is quite aware of these continuing. problems we
face and has on a regular basis forwarded notices home with the
chiidren for the parents to read regarding drop off and pick up
on this. street (attached is a copy of a recent notice from
Viscount School regarding this problem). A few of the parents
have also stopped the drivers entering this street to drop off
their chiidren to fet them know that they are not allowed to
drive down this street and some have simply stated that they did
not Know and others used foul language. A few of the parents have
also given out coptes of the attached notice from Viscount School
to the drivers and have been met with the same statements
referred to above. The drivers may elect not to drive down this
street for a few. weeks now, however we notice that a few weeks
later other drivers or the same drivers then are careless again
and continue thelr drop off and pick up on this street. We fee!
that untess something is done to prevent this from happening this
will be a continued problem throughout the year and the years
ahead. .
