Benson Hamilton, superin- tendent of business for the Durham Separate School Board made the request in a letter to council. Mr. Hamilton says in his letter that the OPP suggest there should be a crossing guard at the entrance to the new school.

The sidewalk extension would allow students to cross the highway at the existing cross walk and guard west of the school and then walk down the south side. Although council decided that the Roads committee should study the request and come up with a recom- mendation, members noted that Highway 7A is slated for reconstruction next summer by the provincial govern- ment and this includes the construction of sidewalks.
