We, the undersigned, want the City of Vancouver to implement Traffic Calming measures on the stretch of King Edward Ave from Fraser Street, West to Columbia Street. This stretch of road borders four schools, three parks and a vibrant community. Due to the geographic layout of this area, with hills on either side and narrow sidewalks, this road forms a \'bowl\' of speeding cars, aggressive driving, and unsafe pedestrian conditions. We would like the City to implement Traffic Calming measures in line with existing measures currently on East King Edward between Knight and Fraser. Through the use of pedestrian bulges, right-hand only turn lanes and dedicated parking/bicycle lanes we hope to make this a safer stretch of road for the students and residents of the area.

I have spent the last few mornings watching traffic patterns near the schools and the situation feels more urgent than ever. Every time I see a car barrel through that bowl near the park, I think about why we are doing this. I am currently compiling all of your messages to present to the transportation department so they can see the impact this road has on our daily lives.

Seeing the momentum grow around this street makes me feel like we might finally get the safe crossing zones my kids deserve. I walk these sidewalks every day and watching the city take notice of our daily fear is a massive relief.

the street layout is just bad. everyone uses it as a shortcut to skip traffic and they are always in such a huge rush.
