Safety First at School Bus Stops: Lake Monticello’s growing school age population has left some
residents calling for parents, children and motorists to give more attention to safety at intersections that serve as school bus stops.
The LMPD, Board members and residents have observed numerous situations that cause considerable concern on a regular
basis, i.e. vehicles parked on the pavement on both sides of the roadway, parents and children standing and milling around on the
pavement or stepping into the road without looking for oncoming traffic. Police Chief Tom Boisvert appeals to parents to exercise
great care and make sure their children understand the potential dangers that exist at bus stops. Some bus stops have become
social gatherings, where adults and children let down their guard, as they would in the safety of their own yards. Lake Monticello’s
roads, which are primarily for the movement of traffic, can be as dangerous as roads anywhere. Chief Boisvert asks that families
of school children follow these practices:
x Keep the roadway as clear as possible. x Congregate on only one side of the road, off the pavement.
x Park as far off the paved roadway as possible. x Park no closer than two car lengths from a stop sign so that
x Avoid standing on the paved roadway at all times. the sign is clearly visible at all times.
x Park only on one side of the road, preferably the side with the x Never drive away from the bus stop after the bus arrives until
stop sign, unless terrain makes that impossible. the bus drives away.
Motorists, your role in the safety of our school children at bus stops starts by understanding that you must never drive around a
stopped bus, regardless of the direction you approach the bus. Whether children are waiting for a bus in the morning or leaving
the bus at the end of the day, your primary responsibility is to give your complete attention to the situation. Never allow yourself to
be distracted; always drive slowly; and keep an eye out for children who may lose track of the dangers of traffic in our normally
quiet community.
If you observe a school bus stop that seems to be congested regularly, please report it to the Police at 589-3215. It may be
time to move the stop or to split it into two stops.

Sat., May 14, the Spring Cleanup dumpsters have been rescheduled to arrive on Mon., May 16. They will be open for use at 12N.

Fire Danger: Central Virginia is at a severe deficit for rain. The dry conditions make us even more vulnerable to wildfires, especially
in our wooded community with dry leaves everywhere. Already fires have broken out in numerous locations in the area, and high winds
have fanned them into very dangerous situations for life and property. Please be cautious in all that you do to keep our community
safe: Never toss cigarettes out of vehicles; keep a close eye on your barbecue grill to make sure no sparks escape; take care with
power equipment so it doesn’t ignite the dry leaves. Reminder: Lake Monticello enforces a no-burn policy all year round. For
information about the VA Dept. of Forestry Firewise program, see the website at www.firewisevirginia.org.
