As the city filed it

This motion brings forward a necessary and time-sensitive request to improve safety at the intersection of Van Horne Avenue and Silas Hill Drive, directly in front of Divine Mercy Catholic School. Over the past year, I've heard repeated concerns from the school community about safety risks at this location, particularly during drop-off and pick-up hours. In response, I visited the site alongside the school principal and our Transportation Services team to assess conditions on the ground.

As outlined in the attached memo from the Director, Traffic Management, staff intend to recommend an all-way stop at this intersection as part of the forthcoming Peanut Streets Plan. While that plan will come forward later this year, this motion seeks to implement the stop control now to enhance safety ahead of the new school year.

Staff recommended
