At the March 21, 2021 meeting of Essex County Council, Gord Queen raised an issue with the portion of County Road 27, which is adjacent to Gosfield North Public School and issued the following Notice of Motion:
Whereas the Health and Safety of all our Residents is important, regardless of age; and
Whereas the Present COVID-19 has highlighted problems within our County; and
Whereas our School Children, School Teachers and Parents are all experiencing challenges getting to school safety; and
Whereas on more than one occasion concerns have been expressed about the speed and safety for Parents to drop off and pick up their Children at the Gosfield North Public School located on the Belle River Road, often referred to as County Road 27; and
Whereas the Council of the Town of Kingsville is scheduled to discuss this issue at their next regular meeting on March 22.
Now therefore, in the event that we gain support and concurrence of our local Town Council, I may move or cause to have moved as follows:
That a School safety zone be established by or in front of the Gosfield North Public School, with appropriate signage; and
Further, that the County of Essex review and make such other actions and recommendations that may aid in the safe passage of our students.
