Whereas residents in the vicinity of the Trudeau Drive walkway have been subjected to vandalism, graffiti, crime, smoking and swearing; as a result of teenagers gathering on the street at the beginning of the school day, the end of the school day and during the school day; And whereas residents on Trudeau Drive may experience slower emergency response times from ambulance and fire due to personal vehicles of parents dropping off children causing congestion in the street before and after school; And whereas Council has been attempting to fix this issue for approximately ten years, including holding several meetings with two principals of Bowmanville High School, holding a public meeting with Staff and residents and the School Board at Bowmanville High School, canvassing the neighbourhood in December 2012 and a Council resolution to install No Stopping signs and Miovision cameras in an effort to address the ongoing issues without closing the walkway; and And whereas the problems not only persist but have gotten worse in recent years, resulting in at least one resident moving away from the neighbourhood and another resident being too afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation by students with student massing continuing in the walkway and adjoining street at all hours of the day and night; And whereas young children who currently use the walkway to access the Duke of Cambridge can access the elementary school via Liberty Street which is a minor detour, and will have a safer walk
