Bennington seeks traffic control near crowded schools
Bennington administrators worry over four thousand daily school pedestrians on Park and County streets as traffic swells. At a Sept 18 district meeting Ruth Bodine notes bottlenecks near Bennington Elementary and Union Carbide traffic, while Principal Michael Russo pushes for school traffic tickets. Proposals include synchronized lights, a portable signal, or relocating the intersection. a full stoplight could cost about 1500 while a crossing guard would run 30 weekly.
