Big Bay Pt Student Crossing Zone. Signs must go up between Pine Dr and Montgomery Dr!!

The Issue

Big Bay Pt is a very busy 4 lane road, witnessing speeding and running lights is common. With the addition of Friday Harbour as a holiday destination, traffic has increased significantly. Specifically with drivers who are unfamiliar with our community. The specific area of concern is between the intersection at Grand Forest/Pine Dr and Big Bay Pt, heading past Ashford/Dodson Dr westbound to Montgomery Dr. These areas see a large volume of students and families walking to and from 3 schools during peak traffic times. With the support of my Ward 10 councillor, Mike McCann, I am asking the city of Barrie to pursue this petition. An increase in the amount of vehicles and an increase in distracted drivers, has put a lot of childrens safety at risk. At a minimum, we need signs put up to alert drivers to the high volume of students crossing in the area. Thank you, I look forward to seeing this achieved as soon as possible.
