29 School Travel Planning Using Active Transportation to Help Students Live Healthy, Active Lives More than ever before, students are driven to and from school instead of using active transportation, such as walking or cycling. Using active transportation to and from school allows students to be more active every day and reduces traffic congestion around the school. How can we foster a healthy school community that supports walking and cycling, and contributes to the overall well-being of its students? By implementing School Travel Planning (STP), your school public health nurse can work with your school to bring together school administrators, teachers, parents, students and members of the school community to address transportation-related issues and promote walking and cycling to and from school. What are the benefits of School Travel Planning? Increased physical activity among students Improved mental well-being and academic performance as a result of increased physical activity Reduced traffic congestion around the school and improved air quality Safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists Increased school and community engagement Receive a FREE Bike Rack (after completion of setup and assessment of conditions) What are the steps? The five step process brings together key partners to develop, implement and monitor a sustainable active transportation program in your school. In two to three years, STP will help create a supported school community for students to adopt and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

31 Information update to Brampton School Traffic Safety Council Public Works and Engineering received concerns from a resident of Cobblehill Crescent, related to stopping and parking vehicles on Calderstone Drive generated by Calderstone Middle School -160 Calderstone Drive, during school arrival and dismissal times. The resident stated parents frequently let their kids out on the opposite side of the street, and the kids run across the road through traffic. Staff conducted a review and confirmed that vehicles frequently stop/park on both sides of the roadway, thereby narrowing the travelled portion of the roadway. This situation creates congestion, driver frustration and difficulties for through traffic on Calderstone Drive during school dismissal timings. To mitigate this issue, Public Works and Engineering staff is proposing installation of No Stopping, 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, signs on the west side of Calderstone Drive adjacent to the school property limits. Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of any additional information is required, or any questions or concerns.
