Town operations comiitte. also recommiends that a "no stop ping» sign b. erected on te north side of Bellwood Dr. There' already one on the south side of the street, but it's widely ignored. Cars stopping along the road present a hazad teehidren crosswing Bellwood Dr. to get to Beloo ublic echool. Children can't se .i there's trafrIc comin. and drivers can't see them unti they step out from between the cars. A girl was struck crossing Bell-. wood last year, and a seven- person delegation of area resi- dens tid comniittee there have been many other close cails. They suggest a school crossing for the area, but Town staf opposea crossing unless there's a crossing guard. For the area to get an adult crossing guard, children would have te be delayed in crossing 83 per cent of the time, according to criteria used to warrant a guard. A staff survey found children have to wait for cars to pass before crossing only about 5per cent of the time.
