Project No. 596/029

· cars do not stop at traffic circles; a four-way stop or traffic humps would be more appropriate
· traffic speeding is not an issue at this intersection
· some residents were not aware of the petition or project
· large buses, trucks and emergency vehicles accessing the school would have problems navigating the circle
· prohibitive cost of project
· concern with children playing on the circle
· the School Board should share the cost

· emergency vehicles are able to drive over the circle
· provisions exist for seniors to defer the cost of the project
· owners are notified twice on projects by petition -- initially when a petition is sent out -- and once the petition is returned to the City Hall, the owners are notified of the Court of Revision date; notice of the material's importance, and the need to have it translated, is provided in five languages

· cost of the project is not a great price to pay for children's safety
· four-way stops are not effective
· a traffic circle will slow down speeding vehicles
· traffic calming is required in the neighbourhood due to the increase in both traffic and children
· cost of the project is increased due to modifications made to accommodate the school, therefore the school should be responsible for a portion of the cost
