Children
walking and parents driving to and from school are the focus
of this project aimed at meeting the needs of the school
community by creating a safe traffic environment on the
route to school.
We
will be visiting with each school principal to discuss any school
traffic concerns and work together to identify traffic problems
and find solutions.
School signs will be replaced
with new high visibility fluorescent yellow-green signs.
Streets
next to the schools will be looked at to ensure that crosswalks,
painted curbs and traffic signs are in the best locations
for student safety.
Crosswalks
will be reviewed making sure they are in good repair and
serving their purpose of helping students to cross the street
at recommended locations.
Traffic
signals will be re-checked to ensure that enough time is
allowed for children to cross the street.
