School Pedestrian Safety

A working group has been formed to address pedestrian safety issues in Kingston’s school zones. This group is comprised of members from Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board (ALCDSB); Conseil des Écoles Publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario (CEPEO); Écoles Catholiques Centre-Est (ECCE); Limestone District School Board (LDSB); Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Public Health (KFLAPH); Parent Council Representatives from the school boards; Kingston City Council Members; Kingston Police and Tri-Board Transportation.

Our Goal

We are building a holistic approach to improving pedestrian safety at schools in Kingston. The goal is to create a process to address pedestrian safety concerns at schools that incorporates key groups such as school boards, transportation companies and the City of Kingston. This process, once developed, could then be implemented at any school in Kingston to address school-specific pedestrian safety issues.

Engagement

To develop this process we need to better understand the safety themes and risks. To do this the working group is seeking public feedback on issues that may be present in the school areas in your neighbourhoods.

We want to hear from you about what issues you see and what suggestions you have for the working group to consider. While we will not be able to respond directly to each concern or question, all of the responses received will be collected and provided to the working group.

Your feedback will be used to inform the development of a process that can be applied to schools across Kingston to improve pedestrian safety.
