School seeks meeting with Select Board on walking routes and building safety
Summary
The Stamford school superintendent asked to meet with the Select Board about student walking routes and building safety; board members discussed crosswalk placement at Stebbins Lane and winter sidewalk maintenance and agreed to meet with school officials.
The school superintendent requested a meeting with the Select Board to discuss student walking routes and building security. Members discussed concerns about children crossing in front of Stebbins Lane where fire trucks can pass and noted that some sidewalks are not cleared in winter, making routing and crossing decisions more complicated.
The board suggested possible local solutions such as designating a holding area at Stebbins Lane during evacuations, a crossing guard or timed crossing, and clarifying sidewalk maintenance responsibilities. The superintendent and principal will coordinate contact information and propose dates; the board expects to meet with school representatives to review safety and emergency plans.
