As a result of the Community Traffic Safety meeting held at the school last week Wednesday night, two express drop-off and pick-up spots will be designated on Church Street, just north of the bus turnaround. The south entrance to the school, which is accessed by the Fairgrounds was considered considered as a preferable drop-off and pick-up location because it was away from buses and all the other school traffic. However, Councillor Gord Robinson, who is a member of the Fair Board, did not believe the Fair Board would agree to that arrangement. Another alternative discussed discussed at the Wednesday night meeting was to double the width of the bus turnaround turnaround in front of the school to allow cars and buses to use that loop at the same time. Personal vehicles may currently currently use that bus loop but then have to stay in the loop till the buses leave. According to school principal Ms. Linda-Sue Thomas, this would be the preferred option. If enough volunteers were available, parents could drop off their children in the turnaround turnaround where a volunteer could escort them into the school building. This solution will need School Board support, which trustee Nancy Coffin, who was at the meeting, agreed to lobby for. To further alleviate the number of cars arriving at the school just before the morning morning bell rings, a proposal is being drafted to ask the school board to bus more children children to school. Parent Jodi Stewart is proposing proposing that the bus that goes by the subdivision at the north end of town stop and pick up the children from the subdivision. subdivision. Busing currently is provided provided for kindergarten children children only. If all the children from the subdivision, which is more than a 20 minute fast walk from the school, were bused, that would eliminate at least 10 cars from the school each morning say Stewart. Clarington's Crime Prevention Officer Paul Hawrychuk had his concerns that once the express drop-off and pick-up spots were created created on the road, cars would be lined up to use the two spots creating further congestion. It is anticipated that once the children were dropped off, parents could drive up the road and turn around at the dead end. "We will have our hurdles" stated Constable Hawrychuk who has dealt with similar situations situations at school throughout the municipality, "but we'll get over them." In the meantime meantime Principal Thomas patrols the street every morning to keep the vehicles moving.
