I have to disagree with the statement attributed to Mary Griffin [the school's administrator] that Baileywick traffic at dismissal is "slow but not stopped" ["What's Up WIth That?" March 14]. Thare have been several times that I have been stopped in a line of traffic that was not moving. The fact that some parents are being nice and allowing drivers from the other direction to turn left into the school drive does not help.

Perhaps the school did everything that the city requested. At the same time the school had operated at its previous location long enough to know the traffic problems that would likely occur and then planned for that without the city having to ask for it.

Also, her comment about the cones at the end of Hunter Drive, "We have nothing to do with that" is not quite true. Without the school and it's traffic there would not be a need for the cones.
