Tatlow Road residents Keith and | Kelly Green suggest stop signs giving Tatlow traffic the right-of- way would help solve the problem. “The road is just not that busy,” said Kelly Green, explaining that ; during the day there is little traffic fF in the arca.

Schools have changed a great deal since Stefaniak started his. teaching carcer in Toronto 29 years ago. = “Now the education system is trying to accommodate more needs of more children. Integra- tion of special needs children is one of the most obvious changes.” Children who were once institu- tionalized or taught in spccial schools are now.part of. the public school population. In addition, society has. changed, said Stefa- niak. “Thirty years ago, most children came from two parent families with the father working and the — mother at home. Now teachers can no. longer take for granted that.a . Child comes to school from: what ‘was regarded as. the traditional family. a much. wider range of -home backgrounds. than in the 1960s.” As a result, the. school system must be able to. meet a wider range of needs, dealing with. emotional. * ~and social instruction as-well’as _ academic’ instruction, pierre _ explained.

Keith Green recommended a flashing light to warn motorists of the unusual configuration of the intersection at Laurel, Tatlow andgy Heather. Since Laurel and Tatlow are almost parallel, both streets meet at a shallow angle, which is further complicated by the inter- section of Heather Road. Another alternative would be opening the one-way section of Laurel to two-way traffic.
