Mr. Riley -
On behalf of the Canter Estates Board of Directors, we respectfully request
that the County initiate the process with VDOT for the placement of
"Children at Play" signs within Canter Estates sections two and four.
Jerry Copp has reviewed this situation - and agrees that it is warranted.
We hope that the strategic placement of these signs will aid us in
controlling speed and keeping the numerous construction related drivers more
alert to the presence of children.
I have had many concerned parents already inquire about the ability to place
these signs.
Please take the necessary administrative steps to expedite this process so
that we can take at least a small step forward to ensure the safety of our
residents - especially the youngest ones.
Please let me know now if you have any questions. Thanks for your immediate
attention to this request.
With kind regards.
Kevin Scott
