Hi Folks,

The highlight of tonight's HV Council meeting I think will be in the early work session.  Item 2 addresses the banning of the use of hand held cell phones in a school zone.  Not very novel I guess because we are the third community from our surrounding area that has either banned the use of hand held cell phones in school zones or is in the process.  I would suggest that the problem is not just with cell phones but with food, drink, ipods, or anything else that does not allow 2 hands on the wheel.  Could we not be novel and ban one handed driving in school zones?  That would take care of the other hazards as well as hand held cell phones.  Amazing that in the write up about the ordinance that the use of hand held cell phones is referred to as a hazard to school children because it disrupts concentration on driving.  We still do not have a stop sign at Barnett and 407.  I think we all believe this is a hazard to school children.   I wonder how HV hazards achieve their rank with respect to importance.
