On the agenda
As the city filed it
In response to concerns brought to my attention by members of the community, I am bringing forward a motion to Scarborough Community Council to ask Transportation Services staff to conduct a study to relocate the existing pedestrian crosswalk location by Chief Dan George Public School (GR. JK-08) on Generation Boulevard, and look into the feasibility of having a crossing guard at the new location. This motion asks that staff report back by June 2022.

I have heard from the parents of students at Chief Dan George PS and the school Principal about the current placement of the crosswalk. The crosswalk is set between the driveway of the school parking lot and the boulevard curb of 180 Generation Blvd. Currently there is no crossing guard and the signage and lines of the marked pedestrian crossing create a false sense of confidence on the part of pedestrians who may enter the crosswalk expecting that approaching drivers will see them and stop. The closest regulated intersection is at Generation Boulevard and Rainbow Ridge Avenue, which has a stop sign. This intersection is 260m away from the elementary school. The relocation of the crosswalk and consideration of feasibility of a School Crossing Guard at new location is necessary to ensure pedestrian safety, especially for students of the elementary school.
Staff recommended
