The journey to school should be safe for every child. However, for those attending William King Elementary School in Herring Cove, safety is a daily concern due to the absence of a sidewalk within a 1.5km radius of the school. The high volume of traffic through this area, including a metro transit bus route creates an elevated risk for students walking to and from school every day. 

A publicly funded school should guarantee security and peace of mind for its students and families. By prioritizing the construction of a sidewalk on the routes leading to William King Elementary, we can protect our children. Such an initiative not only benefits the students but also the community.

We need a safe walkway for our children. Let's make a significant change for the welfare of our students and the community. Sign this petition to support a sidewalk within 1.5km of William King Elementary School and let’s ensure a safer future for our children.
