We're making sure kids stay safe as roads get busier. We think we've found a balance between helping them walk to and from school, parks and shops on their own and safely, slowing down drivers and keeping traffic moving.

Project history

In March 2022, we asked the community for feedback on our plan to make it safer for pedestrians, especially schoolkids, to cross Flat Bush School Road at the Arranmore Drive intersection.

Most respondents supported the proposed crossing and felt it was necessary or overdue. Some suggested additional changes, while others had concerns about traffic flow.

We decided to move forward with the proposed improvements. However, after reviewing our approach to speed calming and, more importantly, listening to you, we have changed our proposal to a zebra crossing at the road level instead.

Updated proposed design:

• Building a zebra crossing at road level with a pedestrian island where people can wait safely to finish crossing the road.

• Installing high friction surfacing on the approaches to the crossing to make it easier for drivers to slow and stop in time.

Everything else will stay the same as our original proposal, including:

• Extending the east corner of the Arranmore Drive and Flat Bush School Road intersection to make left turns slower.

• Installing yellow tactile pavers to help visually impaired individuals find their way to the new crossing.

• Building a footpath on the south side of Flat Bush School Road.

• Painting the cycle lanes green.

• Adding broken yellow lines (no stopping any time) on both sides of the road near the crossing to ensure drivers and pedestrians have a clear view. This will remove 11 on-street parking spaces.

• Installing new signs and streetlights and painting new road markings to support the new crossing.
