In responsc to this cortespondence, Stuff of the Municipal Property nnd Engincering Division mct on-sitc with the Vice Principnl and other school oflicinls to obscrve thesc problems and in gcnerol evnluate traffic movement operations. As expected, the site visit confirmcd the usual Icvcls of congcstion and pedestrian crossing hazards typically associuted with the high volumes of parcnt vchicle tru(lic nccessing the property within u short timc frs�me during the moming nnd allemoon periods. These obscrvations prompted discussion with thc school officiuls inlo such areas as encouraging parents to walk to schaol wiq� thcir childrcn, rcgulnting on-sitc trnffic movcmcnts, implMncnting a Kiss-N-Ride Program nnd thc passing of Municipal Bylaws lo prohibit on-strcct stopping in the areas of concem.
