The question I am submitting is: "Will each of the six trustees — who have so far refused to meet with the district's Inclusive Education Working Group — agree to do so and hear their (excellent!) presentation prior to approving the 2025/26 preliminary operating budget?"

Yet the budget proposed for next year includes an 8.6% reduction ($1.6 Million) in substitute staff (‘TOCs’) and a decrease in the salaries for counsellors. Not a single proposed motion has been drafted by trustees to address these key budget shortfall. 2/4

Do you want to make your neighborhood safer for children going to and from their VSB school? Attend the DPAC General Meeting on the ABCs of Safe Routes to School this Thurs April 25th at 7pm. City Staff, HUB, and parent advocate Lucy Maloney will be presenting. @Lucyincanada

Thanks for the update Lenny.
Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦@LennyNanZhou

Happy to provide an update: ✅Speed reduction to 40km/h on W 16th (between Wallace & Discovery): expected spring 2024 ✅Crosswalk & signage: expected summer 2024 ✅Flashing beacons: expected late 2024 or early 2025 at the latest ✅Signal re-timing for slower walking speeds at the pedestrians signals at Camosun & 16th and Crown & 16th: expected Q2 2024 Additional steps are considered, including but not limited to: additional traffic calming measures; extending the west median to reduce crossing distances and extending the east median to eliminate select turning movements (Curb bulges might be challenging with the bus stop); review signage improvements to clarify areas for pick up/drop off, bus zones, corner clearances, .etc.; request to ICBC: share school’s request for a speed camera at Wallace & 16th; request to police and Parking Enforcement: support with enforcement, including a request to the Speed Watch program

Research shows that children are eight times more likely to die being hit by an SUV or a light duty truck. For every 10 cm of increased Hood height the chance of mortality increases 22%. Why do we allow SUVs and these trucks in our cities near pedestrians or cyclists?

Big thanks to @wrychrd for saying that a LOT of people live on arterial roads & deserve quiet, safe streets. The 15 yo Lord Byng student that was struck in January was hit on 16th which is an arterial with 3 schools on it. We need to think about solutions to make arterials safer.

This motion is relevant for all residents who live in Van, but I think it’s particularly important for VSB families. Vision Vancouver is asking people interested in improving road safety to write to Mayor and Council, preferably today before 5 if you can. visionzerovancouver.ca/2024/04/08/tak…

NEW STUDY: “Results suggest that children are eight times more likely to die when struck by a SUV compared to those struck by a passenger car.” Speed kills, but so does size. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
