I’ve been speaking with families and crossing guards in Ward 4, and I’m hearing the same concern: speeding in school zones.
I’m committed to practical solutions that make our streets safer for children, families and everyone in our neighbourhoods.
Keeping children safe means addressing speeding, improving crossings and making sure families have support where they need it most.
I’ll advocate for raised crosswalks where appropriate to help slow traffic and make pedestrian crossings safer.
I want to increase speed display boards near schools to remind drivers to slow down.
I’ll work to expand crossing-guard coverage where it’s needed most, especially along busy routes to school.
I’ll advocate for enforcement during critical school arrival and dismissal times, when children and families are crossing busy streets.
As a longtime local educator, I’ve spent my career supporting students and families.
Beyond safer routes to schools and parks, I’m committed to expanding affordable after-school and summer recreation programs, supporting childcare options closer to home, and improving the parks, playgrounds and community spaces where children grow and thrive.
