Traffic Safety Commit
At its meeting of July 11 , 1990, the TSAC met with Mrs Nancy Hintlian and Mrs Nancy
Thompson of the Bowman School P T A , and Mr Frank DiGiammarino of the School
Department, to discuss P T A concerns about the safety of children walking to and
from Bowman
The discussion resulted in agreement on the following points, which the Committee
unanimously recommends
1 Once school opens, a count of walkers, where they come from and what streets
they cross should be performed,
2 A count of vehicles on Follen Road, Philip Road, Buckman Drive and Dawes Road
should be performed,
3 Two missing School Zone signs should be replaced at once on Philip Road
The Committee's recommendation of points 1 and 2 is derived from a desire to determine
volumes and patterns, which can be used in formulating a recommendation concerning the
need, or lack thereof, for a crossing guard
