arc children playing and school buses unloading He also said traffic is getting heavier and faster Council members agreed they did not think the spot was dangerous and refused to put up a sign of any kind Deputy Reeve Belly Lou Clark said at previous meetings she drove the road four times a day and she could see completely around I ho Councillor David Mass on told the Simpsons signs would not slow
