It was pointed out, however, that many of the children were driven to kindergarten from points as far as Concord and Lang- staff and that the traffic situation couldn’t be entirely corrected by this means. Mr. Judges felt the most danger was caused by parents wait- ing in cars across the road from the school where children are apt to run across without watching the traffic. It was agreed that if parking were prohibited on at least one side of the street and a sidewalk instal- led for the children to walk felt the situation on Elgin Street was just about as bad, now that the east side of the market property has been fenced off and students are forced to walk up Elgin Street rather than through the market parking lot.

At present Pearson Avenue south of Roosevelt has not been built, and a traffic study by Chief James Davidson had shown an average of only seven vehicles an hour at this corner.
