Shout-out AMEN for call for action on speeding school bus 'No one should die to get someone's attention' - Jennifer Parker writes: I agree-AMEN, Cate! I live on Chestnut Grove Rd. and also have contacted the bus garages a time or two regarding the bus speed. Same results, nothing changes!! I know others on our road who have fears of being on the road if the bus is due to come and I have encouraged them also to please call the bus garage. It's a hazard and no one should die to get someone attention. Adult nor child. I've been nearly run off the road by the bus on Toria Road. Also, and I most always have my toddler grandchild in the car with me. Something needs to get these drivers attention rather than hurrying to get their routes completed. Safety should be their priority!! --Jennifer ParkerComments re article 57431 Wants bus to slow down on Chestnut Grove Road 2013-02-05 07:41:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
