Thank you to all families who completed our recent survey about traffic congestion around our school.
Some common suggestions in the comments included:
- Quicker pickups/dropoffs by parents in the dropoff zone
- continued/increased supervision both in front of the school and in the back parking lot
- continued reminders to families to follow the rules and be good neighbours
- bylaw enforcement of illegal parking (blocking driveways), jaywalking, unsafe U-turns etc.
- staggered start and end times
- carpooling program
- shuttle bus, with a cost to families
Next steps:
Based on the feedback we received, we are making changes for the fall that include:
- A proposed AMA crossing guard program *we have put in an application and are waiting to hear if we fit the required criteria.
- additional supervision in the back parking lot off of Alpine Boulevard
- a reminder to all families of the importance of safety, following our procedures, obeying all traffic laws, and respecting our neighbours
If these changes do not have enough of an impact, we will then look at:
- staggered start and end times
- shuttle bus, with a monthly cost to families
- other safety measures as necessary
