Letter: Why are there different traffic rules for Walnut Grove schools?

Editor: As a resident of Walnut Grove — specifically Topham — area, I am very confused. I have to ask why Alex Hope Elementary students deserve traffic calming measures in front of their school, while Topham students have a 50km/hr zone, as well as being subjected to a new truck route?

Also, I must ask why Dorothy Peacock, or perhaps the small park on 204 Street in Walnut Grove has traffic calming measures, yet the Topham Park has a 50km/hr zone, and did I mention, a new truck route?

I should also mention the students from Ecole des Voyageurs, who have no traffic calming measures, but will also be enjoying a new — you guessed it — truck route.

I would appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to educate me on the reasons why our students, all from the same community, are being treated so differently.
