Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, October 16, 2023 <br />Page 17 <br />something we can do extra. I don't know if there's a sign we can put on Highland at either direction <br />or on Wilson Mills. Something maybe we can consider in the next couple of months and discuss. <br />Chief Matias stated, first of all, as far as this being a problem for the past 5 years, I have been the <br />Chief during that time. The first time I heard of their complaint was last spring. Since then, <br />basically there is a police car in front of their house every morning when their kid gets on the bus. <br />If the officer sees a violation, he will do a traffic stop and write the ticket. Whatever their issues <br />would be with the department, there's a police car every morning in front of his house. As far as <br />Wilson Mills, we have two or three cars on the road. We have a school zone; we have other special <br />attentions we do. We try to monitor as much as we can. I have not received any complaints this <br />school year from bus drivers or any other residents. <br />Mrs. Jurcisek stated, I just didn't know if there was something, I don't know if we could put up a <br />sign. Those two roads are travelled by a lot of non-residents with traffic coming on. If there's <br />something extra we can do that the other communities do like post signs saying this is a bus stop <br />or just an extra warning. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, I don't think I have ever seen signs other than school zone signs. This would <br />be for something different. We can look into it. Chief, I know you worked with the people in the <br />transportation department over at the bus garage. For the people who have noticed things along <br />Wilson Mills, have them contact me or the Chief and e-mail us so we can hear from them and see <br />what's going on. Okay? <br />Mrs. Jurcisek replied, okay. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, thank you. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, which end of Wilson Mills are we talking? <br />Mr. Sipos replied, east side. <br />Mr. Meyers asked, east of SOM or west of SOM? <br />Mrs. Jurcisek replied, east. <br />Mr. Meyers stated, because west of SOM the laws are a little different. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, two lanes versus four lanes. <br />Mr. Murphy stated, like Brenda said, I would imagine that the school bus drivers are aware. They <br />should be reporting those incidents. Maybe we can target problem areas and then maybe we know <br />where to go. Maybe it's a reiteration where you don't know who to talk to and maybe someone <br />can point me in the right direction to reiterate to the bus drivers that if there's someone passing <br />you when there are lights on, it needs to be reported. No ifs, ands, or buts. <br />
