Breathe life into changes you want to see for our children and Community 

Would you like to see changes implemented in our Christopher Ave P.S 401’s School
Zone for all of our safety? Changes such as but not limited to:

•  Requesting signage at the school crossing at Glenmore Ave and Sackman St for children and pedestrians because it is met at an entrance for a parking lot. Signage to alert the drivers that are exiting to proceed with caution due to
  children crossing at that point. (The sign that is present is not visible to those drivers.)

• The “SLOW CHILDREN IN AREA,” sign is barely visible to pedestrians or drivers with the word “CHILDREN,” being completely covered for the onlookers that attempt to read the sign.

•  Is it possible to request a speed bump or “Reduce Speed,” sign to raise awareness of the school zone approaching ahead? The traffic flow is in one direction? 
   
• Does the intersection become a three way traffic area due to the flow at Glenmore Ave and Sackman St? If so is it possible to add a traffic light to direct
  the 3 different points of crossing with a traffic camera to monitor activity of the school crossing zone?

• Can we request a stop sign at Glenmore and Powell?
   
• Can we request a “SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY,” sign around Liberty and Christopher Ave indicating the drivers to reduce speed for both the school and
  playground areas?

• Is it possible to provide assistance for stroller's, wheelchair's, Walker's etc while crossing at intersections and crosswalks? It becomes extremely difficult to see oncoming traffic and cars unless you are completely off the curb and into traffic which is a huge safety issue. Stroller's are designed to go in front of the parent placing the child in danger or risk of being impacted first, when they are crossing at the appropriate point but are unable to see or be seen by oncoming traffic. (Due in part to the height of many parked vehicles or other circumstances that may block visibility. )

• Repositioning the "STOP," sign that is at Glenmore and Christopher Ave. The current sign is facing the Dead End not oncoming traffic to alert drivers to stop. 

• Update the "SCHOOL X-ING sign at Mother Gaston and Glenmore Ave.

• Requesting signage to alert the drivers that are exiting the parking lot at Mother Gaston and Glenmore Ave to proceed with caution due to
  children crossing ahead. (The sign that is present is not visible to those drivers.)
• 
  Please feel free to add changes that you’d like to see as well so we may forward our concerns to the Department Of Transportation. My goal is to have the signage updated in addition to adding a few signs that could better service our safety needs by or before the upcoming school year. Your support would make a huge difference towards this cause. 

*Let's aim to obtain 150 signatures by February 13, 2020.*
