Title
Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Policy Revision for School Sites
9:45pm approximately
Recommended Action
Whereas the Council Policy 05-110 Neighbourhood Traffic Calming requires a minimum petition of 67% for Council or community-initiated traffic calming installations;
Whereas in coordination and consultation with the Langley School District traffic calming measures are installed at new school locations within a process exclusive to this requirement, such as they have been installed in recent years for Yorkson Creek Middle School,
Lynn Fripps Elementary and Richard Bulpitt Elementary; and
Whereas traffic calming measures for an estimated four (4) existing school site locations were funded by Council within the 2019 budget, yet may not proceed within a timely fashion, or at all;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to:
1. Bring forward an amendment to the Council Policy 05-110 Neighbourhood Traffic Calming that excludes existing school site locations from Sections 4.3.3 and 4.3.4; and
2. Proceed with the installation of traffic calming measures for up to four (4) or more highest-priority existing school site locations (as funding permits) for improved child safety, as approved by Council within the 2019 budget, potentially completed by the start of the
2019-2020 school season.
