Brampton School Traffic Safety Council

Site Inspection Report

Date: Monday, February 8, 2016 - Ward: 7

School/Location: Lester B. Pearson Catholic School, 140 Howden Boulevard

Principal: Selina Galvao Time(s): 8:30 a.m. / 3:15 p.m.

Phone: Weather: AM Clear / PM - drizzle

Requested By: Cathy Pickering, Vice-Principal

Nature of Problem: Traffic Safety Concerns, Kiss and Ride and Bus route

Observers Present: 8:30 a.m. - Max Kazman, Mike Moffat, Marg Laramore, Patrick Doran 3:15 p.m. - Max Kazman, Mike Moffat, Marg Laramore, Michael Lobraico

Observations:

1. The school is located at the corner of Howden Boulevard and Horton Crescent. Howden Boulevard is a four lane roadway. There are fluorescent school area signs and flashing 40 km/hr speed signs. Crossing guards are located at Hanover Road and Howden Boulevard; Howden Boulevard and Dixie Road; Hanover Road at the front of Hanover Public School; Hanover Road and the walkway behind Lester B. Pearson Catholic.

2. The driveway into the school leads to the bus loading area in front of the school and the Kiss

and Ride area in the parking lot. There is no sign at the entrance of the Kiss and Ride area to inform drivers where to go. Approximately 400 students attend the school which is serviced by two buses, one large and one small. The exit driveway is one way with a Do Not Enter sign. At the front of the school, Fire Route signs and Kiss and Ride signs are displayed in the bus lanes. Signs are not present in the Kiss and Ride area. Some of the signs appear to be installed at a low height.

3. During the inspections, we discussed with the Principal the flow of traffic and her concerns

regarding stopping, parking in the Kiss and Ride area, as well as cars using the bus lane to avoid the wait in Kiss and Ride.

4. Signs that are present in the Kiss and Ride area do not face the drivers and the message

was confusing. The signs are typical Kiss and Ride signs used when the bus area and Kiss and Ride area are shared. In this case, the sign should not indicate a bus lane as they load and unload in a separate area.

16.1-1

5. During the morning, drivers used both the drop-off and Kiss and Ride lane. A few cars were

parked, as drivers left their cars to escort students. During the afternoon inspection, many cars parked or stopped in the Kiss and Ride and backed up to the road entrance.

6. No Stopping corner restriction signs are located at each side of the school driveway and each

side of the school crossing. No Parking, 8-5 signs are displayed on the north side of Howden Boulevard between the two Horton Crescents. No issues were encountered during the morning; however, at the afternoon inspection, cars stopped/parked in the No Stopping area on Howden Boulevard at the school driveways and in front of the fire hydrant.

Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection be received; and

2. That the Manager of Maintenance Services, Peel District School Board, review the property

and arrange the following:

a) Installation of a sign indicating the location of the Kiss and Ride Area b) Replacement of the existing Kiss and Ride signs with signs that indicate Kiss and Ride

and Drive Through area c) Installation of No Parking signs in the Kiss and Ride area d) Review of the height of the signs; and

3. That the Fire Department review the area to determine if a Fire Route is necessary in the Kiss

and Ride area; and

4. That the school principal arrange for school staff to use cones in the bus lane entrance to

prevent drivers entering the area; and

5. That the Manager of Parking Enforcement arrange for parking control officers to enforce the

No Stopping signs on Howden Boulevard during the afternoon dismissal times; and

6. That the school principal continue to reinforce traffic safety rules, especially driver awareness

and proper use of the Kiss and Ride area.

School/ Location: Terry Fox Public School – 95 Richvale Drive North Robert H. Lagerquist Sr. Public School – 105 Richvale Drive North

Principal: Terry Fox Public School – Lucy Fields, Principal

Robert H. Lagerquist Public School – Neela Zinn, Principal

Time(s): 8:20 a.m. / 2:35 p.m.

Phone: Weather: Very Cold

Requested By: Principals

Nature of Problem: Pedestrian / Traffic Safety Concerns around driveway entrances and traffic on Richvale Drive, east and west sides opposite the schools where students are dropped off, particularly on the west side opposite the schools.

Observers Present: 8:30 - Max Kazman, Marg Laramore, Rakesh Joshi 3:15 - Max Kazman, Mike Moffat, Marg Laramore, Daminder

Ghumman

Observations: 1. Both schools are located on the east side of Richvale Drive approximately 300 metres apart.

2. During both AM and PM, cars stopped in front of the schools on the east side. There are

no signs indicating No Stopping/Parking. Many cars stopped or parked in the driveway areas which made it difficult for buses entering the driveway as they had to squeeze through.

3. No Parking/Stopping signs are posted on the west side of Richvale Drive. Cars did not

stop or park there during the inspection. During the PM more cars parked on the east side of Richvale Drive. With the exception those nearest the driveway, all was smooth. A few cars also stopped in front of fire hydrant, directly in front of Terry Fox Public School. It was noted that Parking Enforcement Officers had been present a few weeks earlier and this has made a huge difference for the illegal stopping on west side of Richvale Drive.

4. Cars parked closely to the corners on all side streets where there were no corner restriction

signs, causing a few traffic concerns.

5. No problems with Kiss and Ride areas.

16.2-1

http://www.peelschools.org/schools/Pages/profile.aspx?sid=1473


2. That the Manager of Traffic Services arrange for the installation of No Stopping, Monday to

Friday, 8-5 signs on the east side of Richvale Drive in front of Terry Fox Public School, in the area between the driveway entrances; and

3. That the Manager of Traffic Services arrange for the installation of corner restrictions on the

east side of Richvale Drive at both sides of the driveways to Terry Fox Public School; and

4. That the Manager of Parking Enforcement arrange for parking control officers to continue

monitoring the area during school times; and

5. That the Principals continue to reinforce traffic safety rules, especially driver awareness,

crossing with the crossing guard and the drop off/pick up of students, to ensure everyone's safety.

School/Location: Great Lakes Public School – 285 Great Lakes Drive

Principal: Time(s): 7:55 a.m. & 2:35 p.m.

Phone: Weather: Cool and Cloudy

Requested By: Resident

Nature of Problem: Resident requests relocation of Crossing Guard from the signalized corner of Great Lakes Drive and Sailwind Road, to the corner of Serenity Lane and Great Lakes Drive which is a mid-block location.

Observers Present: Mike Moffat, Citizen Member, (a.m./p.m.); Charles Gonsalves, Citizen

Member, (a.m.); Rakesh Joshi, Citizen Member (a.m.); Michael Lobraico, Citizen Member

(a.m.); Max Kazman, Citizen Member (p.m.); Stephane Mukendi, Citizen Member (p.m.); Violet

Skirten, Crossing Guard Supervisor, (a.m.); Kim Bernard, Assistant Crossing Guard

Supervisor (a.m./p.m.)

Observations: 1. Great Lakes Public School is located at the south east corner of Great Lakes Drive and

Sailwood Road. There is a driveway for buses only off Great Lakes Drive and another for school staff and parents off Sailwind Road. Serenity Road runs west off Great Lakes Road and has no access to the school property. St. Issac Jogues Separate School is located on the south west corner of Great Lakes Drive and Sailwind Road and the driveway to the school is off Great Lakes. School signs and crossing ahead signs are displayed on Great Lakes Drive. Signs are also displayed on both sides of Great Lakes Drive at Serenity Lane advising pedestrians to cross at the intersection of Great Lakes Drive and Sailwind Road.

2. Four or five years ago, there was a crossing guard at the corner of Serenity Road and

Great Lakes Drive to assist the students across Great Lakes Road for both schools. When the traffic signals were installed at the intersection of Great Lakes Road and Sailwind Road, the Crossing Guard was moved to the signalized intersection. At the time of the traffic signal installation, Traffic Services, the Crossing Guard Supervisor and Brampton Safety Council conducted a site inspection and recommended that the Crossing Guard be relocated to the signalized intersection. Crossing the students to both schools at the signalized location provides additional safety for the pedestrians. The crossing location at Serenity Lane encountered a number of drivers who did not obey the guard, traffic congestion and parked vehicles on the street.

16.3-1

3. At today’s inspection, we noted one parent with two students crossing at the Serenity Lane

location in the morning. In the afternoon about eight adults with twelve students crossed.

4. A few parents requested that we recommend the moving of the crossing guard because of

the long distance the children must walk; there was no discussion on safety provided by the traffic signals.


2. That the Crossing Guard remain at the intersection of Great Lakes Road and Sailwind

Road, as that location provides greater safety for the students; and

3. That the Peel Regional Police visit the intersection of Great Lakes Drive and Serenity Lane

during arrival and dismissal times and advise students to use the intersection at Great Lakes Drive and Sailwind Road where the Crossing Guard is located; and

4. That the School Administration continue to communicate to parents that it is safer to use the

current Crossing Guard location.
