MEMORANDUM
TO: B. Kirk oo March 7, 1986
City Administrator

FROM: F.E. Peters, P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Request from Central School for use of Pedestrian Silhouettes
- Public Works Committee March 4, 1986 ;

Recommendation:

That the Central School Parents Auxiliary be permitted to place
and remove portable silhouettes representing crossing school children
at the following locations:

1. crosswalk across Shaughnessy Street at Central Avenue

2. crosswalk across Mary Hil! Road at Central Avenue

3. Mary Hill Road north of Lobb Avenue
and that this permission be subject to the Parents Auxiliary
manufacturing and being responsible for the placement prior to school
crossing hours and the removal after schoo! crossing hours.

Background and Comments:

The Public Works Committee was approached by representatives
from the school who had a number of complaints regarding traffic.
Most of these complaints are the result of inconsiderate drivers and
there is very little that can be done to prevent them through ordinary
means of signing. However, the representatives did feel that placing
of the school silhouettes on the road would increase the awareness of
drivers towards the fact that pedestrians may be crossing the street.
The request for silhouettes is similar to the one previously approved
by Council for Hastings street near Westwood school.
