Although bussing is provided for the day and after school program, <br /> many of our students choose to walk or ride their bikes to and from school. We also <br /> offer optional early morning activities which require students to find their own <br /> transportation. <br /> Edgewood houses the only pool for public use in the community. It is heavily <br /> scheduled for lessons and recreational swim on weekends and evenings which increases <br /> the likelihood of students crossing Highway 10 during heavy traffic periods and after <br /> dark. <br /> The construction of an overpass for pedestrian use would be an excellent means <br /> of addressing the safety needs of our youth. I hope the Transportation Advisory Board <br /> will give this proposal serious consideration. <br /> Sincerely, 44614./�L�L' <br /> Penny Yb ward <br /> • Principal <br /> MOUNDS VIEW PUBLIC SCHOOLS • DISTRICT 621 <br /> EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT <br />
