Implement Speed Controls on Walnut Grove Drive for Community Safety


Implement Speed Controls on Walnut Grove Drive for Community Safety
The Issue
As community members of Walnut Grove, we witness and experience the dangers of speeding on Walnut Grove Drive every day. It affects the safety of not only residents but a variety of community members visiting the area.
Our area boasts a thriving recreation center and library, a bustling high school, and a popular park, all within a 30km zone. However, these public spaces lose their charm due to a daunting issue: speeding. Vehicles are often seen zooming beyond the 30km speed limit, creating a dangerous environment for everyone.
We therefore request the local council to address this critical situation by introducing traffic calming measures
Proposed ideas include:
- Speed Humps
- Large, more visible signage coming from 88th
- Painted cues of 30km zone on the hill from 88th
- Raising the crosswalk and adding additional ones
- Installing bulb outs at the crosswalk
- Delineators dividing the double lane traffic
- 3D ashphalt art or murals to visually slow drivers
- Painted and buffered designated bike lane
- Turning the crosswalk into a stoplight to help the flow of traffic due to the influx of students before, during break and after school
For the safety of our community, let's bring about this change in Walnut Grove Drive. Sign our petition to make our community a safer place for everyone.
This petition will be sent to TOL and other community leaders.
