School council spokesperson Anne Renaud says students who walk to school have recently taken to the snowbanks, creating some new safety hazards with the potential of children sliding into the path of vehicles.
Renaud says they had been under the impression that the town would be taking quicker action to remove snow in the area with the implementation of the Kiss and Ride initiative set up to improve traffic congestion.
Renaud says it also illustrates the need for a sidewalk which the town's traffic safety committee has request council consider when it begins its budget talks.
Council has said it is supports the project, but would like other to hel pay for half of the estimated $65-thousand cost.
