Subject: Public Comments for the Safety Committee
My schedule precludes me from being at the meeting tomorrow, but I would like to extend my public
comments. I was not sure how to get these to Roxanna Elliott
On February 1st at about 8:00am near the intersection of Menifee and Holland Roads, I witnessed several
vehicles not stopping for the school bus on south bound Menifee Rd. I realize there is still some confusion in
drivers about stopping on both side of the road for a school bus. I did contact Capt. Fellows and he contacted
the Traffic Division for some additional enforcement. Hopefully some enforcement can be done. The city and
Menifee schools might need to partner and develop a more effective plan. As an educator, this has been a long
running and consistent issue my whole career. Drivers seem to need constant reminders about the laws
surrounding stopping for school buses. Enforcement really should be the option of last resort and I know our
enforcement hours are currently a bit thin. Just wanted to remind the committee that it is still an issue and our
youngest citizens need our diligent protection as they move between home and school.
Thanks for all you do in keeping us safe.
