parents fight for busing mike adler staff reporter parents of children going to st mark were told the catholic elementary school is no different from many others but it is says a stouffville woman concerned about safety for years students were bused to the school on a short deadend stretch of glad park ave but parents recently learned that this fall most st mark children will be asked to walk the public board expects to open its own school glad park public on the same block in october both will start at 815 am 40 minutes earlier than st mark did this year the transportation service for both boards says these changes will save 245000 but parent lesley oconnor isnt convinced the children of either school will be safe and neither are the 500 residents who signed a petition asking the boards to reconsider she said yes terday oconnor said parents want the changes delayed for a year enough time she said for a traffic light to be built at the busy intersection of 9th line and millard st where many chil dren would cross other streets surrounding the two schools like elm rd oconnor main tained have no sidewalks and will be dangerous places for children to walk at that time of day people are zooming south to go to work she said calling the towns promise of a crossing guard at 9th and millard pitifully inadequate many parents will decide to drive their children to school and that will cause more congestion and danger on narrow glad park she argued separate school trustee sean pearce said the public board didnt properly plan the westfacing public school which was built without emergency vehicle access from the north its a huge concern he added recently but harry bowes stouffyilles pub lic school trustee said glad park is not unsafe so theres no reason why the children shouldnt walk to both schools david snelgrove plant services superintendent for the public board conceded the lack of emergency access from the north could be a problem but said the glad park block is no different than any cul de sac in a subdivision that section of glad park will be widened and a sidewalk should be completed on the east side this summer said the manager of student transportation services im relying on these things to be completed said david martin recently oconnor who presented parent concerns to the separate board last month said residents whose children will go to either school this fall are invited to an 830 pm meeting this wednesday at 1 8 summerfield ave residential plmlbing ballantrae musselman lake water conversion horizontal boring equipment
