(905)985-9388 Parking, litter and speeding dealt with at local high school By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Twenty additional parking spaces are being created at Port Perry High School to help deal with the traffic congestion on school property and neighbor- ing streets. Vehicles parked along the sides of the school and on neigh- boring side streets have been a source of frustration for neigh- bors of the local school. Additional parking will be added at the north side of the school on McDonald Street, ad- Jacent to the current small lot. A portion of the grass will be re- moved, up to the firstin a line of trees, and gravel will be put down. The second area will see the opening up of an area at the south side of the school which has been blocked off for several years. The area of pavement from the greenhouse to the cov- ered bus entrance has been blocked for several years to stop vehicles from circling the build- ing, but will now be used for both parallel and angle parking spots. Between the two areas, an ad- ditional much-needed 20 park- ing spots will be created and should be complete in a few weeks time, according to Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew, who along with a committee worked to solve the problems on alocal lev- el. "It will also be done at little expense to the board," she add- ed, stating that money will be used from another project which came in underbudget. Mrs. Drew hopes the parking spots will alleviate the problem, which she says may have gotten worse this year as 70 adults are also enrolled at the school. The adult classes begin at 8a.m. and are over prior to the lunch hour and the hope is as these vehicles leave the premis- es, other students will fill in the vacated spots in the parking lots, getting the vehicles off the streets, Mrs. Drew said. Otherrecent concerns regard- ing the local school have related t litter on and around the prop- erty and excessive speed and noise of vehicles. Custodial staff along' with students of the school, who have been assigned community ser- . vice work, will be cleaning the school grounds and neighboring properties. Complaints about speeding cars and the squealing of tires has also been addressed, accord- ing to Mrs. Drew. 'The students have been warned about parking illegally and speeding and know they will be ticketed," she said. But, Mrs. Drew added, sever- al witnesses have pointed out many of the cars in question are not owned by students of the school, but rather by former stu- dents returning to visit friends during the noon hour. Durham Regional Police are, however, doing periodic checks at the school and have issued some tickets for speeding. By- law enforcement officers are also ticketing those illegally parked. A committee consisting of Mrs. Drew, Mayor Howard Hall, Sandra Riches, principal, superintendent Barry Vale, Bill Evans, manager of mainte- nance and Mike Graham, super- intendent of education/plant, worked to solve the problems lo- cally, without having to meet with the board. Picnic shelter proposed From Page 5 needs, said Mr. Doble. A contact person for each group was selected, and that person is to go back to the groups repre- sented with a request for finan- cial support, and an elected representative for the shelter's board of directors. Once the board of directors is formed, they will be present- ing a formal proposal to town- ship council, said Mr. Doble. The shelter will be financed on the basis of a three-year plan, with municipal sponsorship. Anyone in the area with ideas on what other groups might use the shelter can give the group input by calling 985- 3723. the next meeting on the shelter will be Oct. 18 at 8 p.m. in the Greenbank Hall; watch the Greenbank news, carried in The Star, for further details.
