parents of Pine view Public School students who meet on a monthly basis to take care or Issues concerning our children At the moment we ore very con corned about safety of our children while travelling to and from school on the bus The recent accident one of our students while leaving the school bus has brought to light a serious problem In this case a gravel truck was unable to stop for the bus flash ins lights As a car driver I have been tin comfortable driving on Trafalgar many times because of the speed of rucks Their reckless behavior unsafe passing toil sating speeding at times has made me very nervous It is sad that when we heard of the accident on Trafalgar involving a gravel truck no one was surprised that a truck was responsible for an accident Many times houses on Trafalgar have seen trucks on the shoulder or their lawn to avoid accident where they t safely stop This tells us that the rucks arc travelling an unsafe speed I believe they exceed the speed limit but even is too mucr for them on a road with cross streets and especial ly with buses stopping four Something must be done to ensure that these trucks travel at a speed that allows them safe stopping time and more control Their attitude seems to be that they arc the only ones on the rood The stretch we arc most concerned about involves two schools and involves a lot of children The speed of vehicles t even slow down when they pass the school There seems to be GEORGETOWN SPA FITNESS CENTRE safe trucks on the road so there is the need for more MTC vehicles around to check their loads and the safety of their vehicles Better police patrol Is necessary to enforce the speed limit now existing Although we feel it Is necessary to lower speed limit for trucks especially during the time that buses are on the road Flashing lights that flash during those times is also a possible terra speed Whatever measures are there needs to be more patrol to enforce the speed and vehicle safety Perhaps higher penalties for of fenders will help slop them from our children s sake I Sincerely Shirley Mcltier CoChalrpcrson parents Association RISTA MAIN ST ROCKWOOD TO ALL CITIZENS AND THE BUSINESS
