Trustee calls for increased policing The town will ask Halton Regional Police for regular patrols on the Fourth Line following an urgent ap peal by Board of Education trustee Artene Bruce to do something about speeding grave trucks Mrs Bruce asked the town Mon day to an appeal to the police to station a marked patrol car on the Fourth Line during school bus pick up and dropoff periods in order to curb dangerous speeding habit of gravel truck drivers For the safety of those children you must do something Immediate ly she said In a tetter to the town Mrs Bruce said the heavy gravel truck traffic coupled with poor visibility make the area a time bomb She cited two Incidents Involving the same child in which a tragic ac cident was narrowly avoided In the first a young boy leaped out of the way at the lost moment as a gravel truck collided with a school bus van with five children inside In September No one was injured In the incident but In mid November the same child looked on as a gravel truck barrelling down on the school bus which was stopped at his driveway screeched to a halt at the last minute The truck could have Jackknifed and struck the bus she said These near misses are not going to continue to be near Mrs Bruce told councillors The child now walks up the hill in a field to catch the bus at the top of a hill she said Having a marked patrol car In the area slows truck traffic down con siderably because they ore all aware the police are there the said Ward Conn Joe Hewitt who chairs the towns pita and quarries committee said efforts are being made to curb speeding truck traffic In the area The town has passed a resolution to look at removing a knoll which obscures motorists Hewitt The town his also reduced the speed limit from kilometres per hour to SO kilometres and the police are patrolling the area sporadically but they are plagued by a manpower shortage he said And the truckers are trying to police themselves through the Halton Association for Trucking Safety HATS organization added Mr Hewitt Great efforts are being made he laid Theres no quick be Im asking for a quick fix Mrs Bruce replied A patrolling police car during school bus hour would help solve Ihe more Immediate threat of a tragic collision she said Coon Hewitt said there are plana to bring unmarked police cars into the area to catch speeding truckers but It Is a narrow road and It could be dangerous to stop a truck because there is nowhere to pull off the road The police are so short of man power they only have one or two traffic care patrolling the entire area of North said Coun Hewitt This isnt the only school bus route in all of Halton Hills Coun Hewitt said citing an incident on Trafalgar Road a year ago in which a seven yearold boy was struck while standing on the shoulder of the rood after stepping of f a bus Halton Regional Police Const Jeff Corey who has attended HATS meetings said Tuesday the police will respond in the best way possi ble to councils request for regular policing Const Corey said he drives the Fourth Line Sideroad area regularly However if there several other Important calls tbe lowest priority Is to sit and watch school Corey He could not say If it Is feasible to enact such a regimented timetable plaint In that area In the past three months Ward 1 Coun Gerald said the town can make the request of the police but I wouldnt like us to think to the problem He called the extra patrols an In terim measure until the road can be made safer Ward Marilyn Serjeantson suggested a warning system be put In place which would activate when school buses are in the area Town engineer Bob Austin said while that plan feasible motorists arent needing the lower speed limit now so Its unlikely a warning system would be respected
