Mary St. John
Historian
Town. of Queensbury
We the residents of Green St., Lower Marren and Brayton Ave. ,
request your attention to the dangerous situation pertaining to our
school bug problem.
Every noon when the bus stops to pick up our children, the cars
seem to disregard the law and rail to stop, some even fail to slow up,
this same problem exists at night.
This same traffic problem exists for the residents of the above
locality in making a left turn, going from Warren to Green St. , and
every year there are several accidents due to this circumstance, this
being the reason we are sending this petition at this time.
We would like your kind consideration in this matter, and would
like to suggest a blinker light, or something to slow up the traffic at
this location.
Thank you for your interest.
