<br />
<br />~ e~force~old and new traffic regulations in this area.
<br />
<br />At Lakeview, the following steps have been taken:
<br />
<br />The bus traffic at this school has been rerouted
<br />through the gates at this school which open into a
<br />large area to the side and rear of the building.
<br />These gates have previously been kept closed. Buses
<br />now enter from the driveway in front of the school,
<br />load and unload, proceed through the gate onto Darren
<br />Drive. Traffic through this area is designated one-
<br />way and for use of school buses only. This has elimi-
<br />nated the necessity for Community buses to load and
<br />unload on the corner of Darren and Home. No parking
<br />or stopping is now allowed on Darren nor Horne on the
<br />side nearest the school. This eliminates children
<br />crossing these streets from behind parked cars:
<br />
<br />to
<br />
<br />Police have been instructed to strictly enforce all
<br />regulations in the area of this school. Cars will
<br />not be allowed to double park in the area of the
<br />school nor will they be allowed to block entrances
<br />or use the area which has been designated for buses.
<br />
<br /> Since these new traffic controls have been installed at these schools,
<br />the children has been greatly diminished.
<br />
<br />it appears
<br />
<br />that dlnger
<br />
<br /> The Police Department has been able to-accomnlish the improvement to traffic conditions
<br />at the above-mentioned schools as well,as take st~ps to improve the hazardous conditions
<br />at Brighton Elementary School, Douglas Park School, and Cavalier Manor Elementary School
<br />by working closely with the Traffic Engineering Department and the Supervisor of Transportation
<br />for Portsmouth Public Schools. Continuing efforts will be made by our Police Department
<br />and Traffic Engineering Department to minimize hazardous conditions at ali schools."
