Crossing guards will be moved to the north side of West Shore Parkway at Constellation Avenue in response to recent incidents near PEXSISEN Elementary and Centre Mountain Lellum Middle School
After a number of near misses in a crosswalk near two Sooke School District schools, crossing guards are changing locations and students are being directed to use a different route to school.
The biggest problems have been at the roundabout near the two adjacent schools on busy West Shore Parkway. A parent noted that drivers get angry and impatient when crossing guards try to do their jobs, and some ignore the guards. A fourth crossing guard is also being added on a temporary basis. “We’ll add one to bridge us to the end of this school year and then we’ll continue to work with the city around any future additions,” said Stinson, adding he’s heard the crossing guards’ experiences “and it continues to be a concern for us.”
