Road in the same heavy traffic. And please remember, we have to do this on -20 degree days and <br /> blowing snowstorm /dodge the snowplow days, not just nice fall days. <br /> 7. The bus stop could be moved, but most locations are already marked "No Parking" or will create <br /> similar safety issues. I saw no indication at the city council meeting that anyone from Orono had any <br /> intent of informing the Westonka School District of this change and its implications. <br /> Therefore, I request that the council or city staff expeditiously revisit and amend the action to specfically <br /> carve out an exception for school bus needs and that the signage be amended to indicate this. Parents <br /> don't need to be worrying that a passing police car is going to start writing tickets on our cars as we wait <br /> for our chiidren at a bus stop. If the Orono City Council is unwilling to do this, then the City of Orono <br /> needs immediately begin work with the Westonka School District on designation of other bus stops and <br /> making associated street accommodations that can be made safe for our children. School starts in a <br /> month. <br /> I understand that this is a complex issue that had to be addressed. But a little more consideration for <br /> other citizens of the community who use this location on a daily basis could have been easily <br /> accommodated with only a little more consideration and effort on the part of the Orono city staff and <br /> council. <br /> I am copying Kevin Borg, Superintendent of the Westonka school system on this email so that he may <br /> inform his staff of your actions and hopefully they can work with you to resolve the resulting issues. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jack P.
