Brampton School Traffic Safety Council Site Inspection Report

Date: December 11, 2017 Ward: 8

School/Location: St. Andre Bessette Catholic School, 25 Riverstone Drive, Brampton

Principal: Vita Zaffino Time(s): 7:45 a.m. and 2:40 p.m.

Phone: (905) 913-2567 Weather: Cold with light snow

Requested By: Jacqueline Kabanov, Brampton Resident

Nature of Problem: Parking Issues and Traffic Congestion

Observers Present: Kim Bernard, Team Lead, Crossing Guards (a.m. and p.m.); Max Kazman, Member (p.m.); Rakesh Joshi, Member (a.m.); Mike Lobraico, Member (a.m.); Marcy Macina, Student Transportation of Peel Region (p.m.); Albert Masih, Member (a.m.); and Stephane Mukendi, Member (p.m.).

Observations:

1. The school is located on the south side of Riverstone Drive and is attended by 682 students. The school is serviced by eight large buses, five small buses and a school minivan.

2. Two Crossing Guards are in place at:

Riverstone Drive and Lindyfalls Drive.

Riverstone Drive and Don Minaker Drive

3. Fluorescent green School Area and Max 40 km/hr signs are posted on Riverstone Drive in

the vicinity of the school.

4. Signs indicating “No Stopping, 8-5, Mon-Fri” are positioned on the north side of Riverstone

Dr. for the length of the school property and also on both sides of Riverstone Drive between the easterly driveway of the school to Don Minaker Drive. “No Stopping, 8-5, Mon-Fri, buses excepted” signage are located on the south side of Riverstone Drive from Palmvalley Drive to the westerly entrance. Corner restrictions are positioned on both sides of the entrance and exit to school property, and Ballyshire Drive and Lindyfalls Drive.

5. A one-way, two lane entrance leads to the westerly side where the Kiss and Ride and

parking area are located. Both lanes merge with the bus loading area along the front of the school exiting at the easterly side of the property onto Riverstone Drive. No 'Kiss and Ride' sign is posted but driveway/pavement markings are visible and clear.

13.1-1

6. Five staff wearing safety vests assisted students to cross on school property, the Kiss and

Ride, and students exiting/entering buses. The Kiss and Ride ran smoothly.

7. Traffic congestion on Riverstone Drive was heavy in the morning and more so in the

afternoon. Many vehicles parked in the restricted areas. One vehicle with four way flashers parked beside the stop sign at the intersection of Lindyfalls Drive and Riverside Drive in excess of 30 minutes for no apparent reason. Buses entering the school property queued on Riverstone Drive but this did not create any congestion in the morning or afternoon.

8. Multiple violations of parking restrictions on Riverstone Drive between Ballyshire Drive

and Don Minaker Drive were noticed. Numerous vehicles made unsafe U-Turns at the intersection of Ballyshire Drive and Riverside Drive while parents with students J-walked on Riverstone Drive from the exit of school property to parked vehicles on Ballyshire Drive. One westbound vehicle drove into the on-coming lane to park the vehicle and drop off students on the south side of Riverstone Drive.

9. Most of the congestion was caused by parents parking on Ballyshire Drive, who then

proceeded to J-walk with children to and from the school instead of crossing safely with the crossing guard.

Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection report be received; and,

2. That the Manager of Enforcement and By-law Services be requested to enforce parking

restrictions along Riverside Drive, Ballyshire Drive and Lindyfalls Drive during arrival and dismissal times at the school; and,

3. That the Crossing Guard Supervisor provide educational information to the school

principal on pedestrian safety in and around schools for distribution to the school community; and,

4. That the Senior Manager of Traffic Services arrange for the implementation of “No U-Turn”

signage on Riverstone Drive in the vicinity of the school; and,

5. That Peel Regional Police be requested to monitor and enforce “No U-Turns” restrictions

in the vicinity of the school; and,

6. That the Principal continue to encourage parents and students to cross Riverstone Drive

using the crossing guards that are positioned at the school location.

Nature of Problem: Traffic Congestion and Parking Issues, Father Tobin Drive and Dixie Road

Observers Present: Charles Gonsalves Citizen Member (a.m.); Kim Bernard, Team Lead Crossing Guards (a.m. and p.m.), Max Kazman, Citizen Member (p.m.), Stephane Mukendi, Citizen Member (p.m.), Marcy Macina Student Transportation Peel Region (p.m.)

Observations: 1. The school is located on the south east corner of the intersection of Father Tobin Drive and

Dixie Road. Approximately 1,500 students attend the school which is serviced by seven large and six small school buses.

2. “Fluorescent Green School Area” signs are located on both Father Tobin Drive and Dixie

Road, as well as, “Traffic Calmed Neighbourhood” and “Watch for Children” signage.

3. Posted speed limit on Dixie Road in the vicinity of the school is 70km/hr, with max 60km/hr

when lights are flashing. Posted speed on Father Tobin Road is 50km/hr in the school zone.

4. “No Stopping” restrictions are located on the north and south side of Father Tobin Road from

Dixie Road to the end of school property on both the east side and west side of Dixie Road.

5. There are two entrances/exits to the school property:

One on Dixie Road for northbound traffic just south of the school, which leads to two one-way lanes that are designated as bus loading zones

Second one on the south side of Father Tobin Rd which leads to the south end of the school and exits onto Dixie Road and the designated parking lot on the south side of the school. A designated bus loading area is located at the south entrance to the school.

13.2-1

6. Fire route signage is posted along the westerly and northerly side of the school property.

7. The large school buses entered from Father Tobin Drive to drop off students at the south

entrance and exited on Dixie Road. The smaller and special needs buses took the same route, but turned right at the front of school where they dropped students at the main entrance on west side of the school property, then drove around the school to exit on Father Tobin Drive.

8. In the morning, vehicles trying to enter school property blocked Dixie Road as they queued

and waited. Some impatient drivers tried to pass and enter ahead of the queue. Vehicles stopped in the restricted zone from the corner of Father Tobin Road south to the school entrance on Dixie Road to drop off students.

9. In the afternoon, instead of parking on the school parking lot, drivers parked in the turning

lane off Dixie Road and remained there until the students came to the car.

10. Many vehicles using the westerly entrance to the school to drop off students, waited in long

line-ups to merge at the entrance/exit to Father Tobin Road.

11. No congestion was seen in bus loading areas in the morning. In the afternoon, congestion

occurred at the south entrance because buses did not park properly in the bus loading zone. Vehicles were at a stand still as they tried to get around the buses. At the west entrance, many vehicles parked in the Fire Route area.

Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection be received; and,

2. That the Manager of Enforcement and By-law Services be requested to enforce traffic

regulations more so in the afternoon for right turns from Dixie Road to the school property; and,

3. That the Peel District School board review the possibility of widening the northerly entrance

/exit to the school property from Father Tobin Road to ease the traffic flow of vehicles exiting the school property; and,

4. That the Principal encourage the parents to use the parking lots on the south side of the

school to pick up or drop off students.

Requested By: Principal

Nature of Problem: Traffic Congestion/Crossing Guard – Intersection of Gretna Drive and Kimbark Drive

Observers Present: Max Kazman, Member (a.m./p.m.); Albert Masih (a.m.); Kim Bernard, Team Lead, Crossing Guards (a.m./p.m.); Stephane Mukendi, Member (p.m.); Patrick Doran, Member (p.m.) op bar by sign at exit of kiss and ride.

3. Signage on Kimbark Drive indicate “No Parking” on the north side only, east and west of

Gretna Drive. “No Stopping” corner restriction signs are posted on Gretna Drive, north of Kimbark Drive.

4. The intersection of Gretna Drive and Kimbark Drive is signed by a three-way stop with hatched

pavement markings on the south leg. Sidewalks are located on the east side of Gretna Drive and the west side of Kimbark Drive.

5. During the morning, approximately five students used this intersection with no conflicts.

Some vehicles did not come to a complete stop at the intersection. During the afternoon, about 35 students crossed and again some vehicles did not completely stop while going through the intersection.

13.3-1

6. Adequate gaps for pedestrians crossing at this intersection were observed at both the morning and afternoon periods.

7. Both in the morning and afternoon many drivers parked in the restricted areas on Gretna Drive

which caused congestion and difficulty for the buses and drivers to get through.

Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection be received; and

2. That it is the position of the Brampton School Traffic Safety Council that a crossing guard is

not warranted at the intersection of Gretna Drive and Kimbark Drive, as no conflicts were observed between pedestrians and vehicles; and,

3. That the Manager of Enforcement and By-law Services be requested to enforce parking

restrictions in the vicinity of the school during the morning and afternoon periods; and,

4. That the Senior Manager of Traffic Services arrange for a Stop Sign Compliance Study for the

Nature of Problem: Request for a crossing guard at the intersection of Duffield Road and Edenbrook Hill Drive

Observers Present: Charles Gonsalves, Citizen Member (a.m.); Michael Lobraico, Citizen Member (a.m.); Kim Bernard, Team Lead, Crossing Guards (a.m. and p.m.)

Observations:

The intersection of Duffield Road and Edenbrook Hill Drive is signed by a three-way stop. There are

faded enhanced pavement markings on Duffield Road. No parking restrictions were seen in the area.

1. The posted speed limit is 50km/hr on both Duffield Road and Edenbrook Hill Drive. South of

the intersection, the speed limit changes to 40km/hr and a “Fluorescent Green School Area” sign is in place.

2. St. Angela Merici Catholic School and Edenbrook Hill Public School are located south of this

intersection. A crossing guard is located at Edenbrook Hill Drive and Packham Circle to assist students across both Edenbrook Hill Drive and Packham Circle for both schools.

3. At the intersection in the morning, 21 students crossed Edenbrook Hill Drive on either the

north or south leg of the intersection, and 15 students crossed in the afternoon without conflict with traffic. Very few students crossed Duffield Road where the enhanced pavement markings are placed.

4. A few vehicles did not completely stop at the intersection but most drivers obeyed the stop

signs and waited for students to cross.

13.4-1

5. Two school bus pick-up sites were observed at the north west corner of Duffield Road and Edenbrook Hill Drive. This created some traffic congestion during the morning as vehicles parked on both sides of Duffield Road. Some vehicles made U-turns as they tried to leave after the bus departed.

Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection report be received, and

2. That the Principal be requested to remind all students living on the west side of Edenbrook

Hill Drive to walk to the crossing guard at Edenbrook Hill Drive and Packham Road to cross Edenbrook Hill Drive safely to get to school; and


the enhanced pavement markings on Duffield Road to be refreshed

a Stop Sign Compliance study to be conducted for the intersection of Edenbrook Hill Drive and Duffield Road; and,

4. That the Manager of Student Transportation of Peel Region arrange for the school bus

pick-up location on Duffield Road to be moved further west and away from the intersection of Edenbrook Hill Drive and Duffield Road; and,

5. That it is the position of the Brampton School Traffic Safety Council that a crossing guard is

not warranted at the intersection of Duffield Road and Edenbrook Hill Drive.
