Happy Friday DDS Families,
We have good news to share! In response to community members advocating for improved traffic safety in our community, the following changes have been approved:
- Playground Zone Extension: The playground zone that currently ends beside the baseball diamond will be extended to further north to include the intersection.
- Crosswalk Upgrade: With the playground zone extension, the crosswalk will now qualify as a school crosswalk and will be upgraded to a marked zebra/ladder crosswalk once weather permits pavement painting.
- Tree Removal: The city tree on the median at the south side of the intersection has been put forward to be considered for removal as it may block pedestrian sign visibility.
We are very appreciative to everyone who advocated to the City of Calgary on behalf of DDS students. Wishing you a fabulous weekend ahead!
