Staff are planning to update the "best routes to school" plan and a review of the school traffic pattern is planned. Installation of new street signage will be done when school construction on the street and contractor have moved off-site and when school traffic has stabilized.

Serious car crash this morning with airbag deployed at 4th and Agnes involving woman and her 5 year old on the way to Qayqayt. PLEASE put in a 4-way stop! and clear crosswalk lines.

I saw the result of this crash after I left my daughter at school this morning. I know a lot of people are crossing there (it's even listed on the city's safe walking routes to school: http://www.newwestcity.ca/database/rte/files/StMarys_legal_lr.pdf). I think it needs to be more than just a four way. Maybe a pedestrian controlled signal would be in order. A lot of people speed down that hill.

A review of the 4th St. corridor has determined that the current 2-way stop control on Agnes St. is appropriate based on site conditions and traffic pattern/volumes. The vehicle accident referred to above was due to a driver running the stop sign.

Are you able to share this review? Maybe provide a link to the document?
This intersection continues to be extremely busy and even adult pedestrians seem a bit unsettled crossing the street with the speeds of the vehicles coming down the 4th Street hill off of Royal Avenue.
