The Ockley Green Advisory
CommlCee claims that the via
ducts over the freeway (Inter
state 5) on the streets of Skid
more, Alberta, Kllllngswurth,
Ainsworth and Portland Blvd.,
do not provide adequate protec
tion for children walking to and
fro .
"When a 4 year old can lean
over It just Isn’t high enough,"
said M rs. Milburn, "can you
imagine what older kids would
do playing with ones leaning
over like that?"
How can you explain to a
sm aller child that an older stu
dent was just kidding, "hanging
over the r a il" Is not a test of
bravery.
A list of names and signed
complaints were presented to
this reporter with a petition head
ed for Commissioner Anderson's
office.
A fence is needed! Our first
step is to circulate petitions.
Other schools and organizations
have expressed concern over
this m atter.
If you are Interested please

285-3494. The committee lists
the following reasons for their
concern.
1. Hazard to children cross
ing.
2. Throwing objects on free
way causing loss of articles.
3. Intimidation of younger
children by older ones' threats
that they w ill be pushed, hung
over or thrown on to the fre e -
way below.
"We feel that the cost of the
fencing would be less than the
loss of child's life, or possible
property and lives of those
traveling on the freeway below
these viaducts," M rs. .Milburn
said.
THE RAILING on the Minnesota via duct is on 3’10” high. Our
camera man caught this little four year old leaning over to watch
a car below speeding at a rate of 70 miles per hour. Imagine if
she should fall what would happen?
MRS. BARBARA MILBURN explains to Robert (Bob» Herdon
"a concern citizen" the danger of children crossing the via duct
over the Minnesota freeway.
