An on-going challenge that many cities face relates to the safety of students as they cross
\nroads, driveways and parking lots around the schools on their daily commute. The constant
\nconflict between students as pedestrians or cyclists and vehicular traffic is a serious concern for
\nall involved during the peak weekday school arrival and dismissal times. To address these
\nconcerns, and thereby encourage more students to walk and bike to school and improve their
\nhealth, the City of Surrey undertook a Safe and Active Schools Program. The engineering
\ncomponent of this program identified the safety issues around each of its schools, developed
\nshort to long-term mitigation measures to address the issues, and prioritized the measures
\nthroughout the City. The review anticipated a team approach in response to the issues and
\ndeveloped road safety plans that fostered a coordinated effort to improve safety by the City,
\nRCMP, the School District and individual school administration and parents.<\/p>\n
