York is fortunate to have Officer Smith with us a few mornings and afternoons each week to direct traffic. Please make sure you are aware of his presence. If he is out directing for you to follow a line of cars or buses, please continue to do so without hesitation. This helps the flow go quickly and safely. Thank you in advance for your help!
