The School Travel Planning Program

Please join us on November 20th @ 7PM at the PAC meeting

Charles Dickens and Dickens Annex have been invited to take part in a really exciting initiative called the School Travel Planning Program. This is a partnership between the City of Vancouver, the school, and the PAC to improve the safety of the streets around the schools for children. This project has the potential to make significant changes that will directly impact our children, such as improving the safety of the Kingsway crossing, among others. But we need your help!

This is a three phase project and the first phase includes gathering feedback from parents about what their concerns are and what changes they would like made. The City of Vancouver is coming to the main Dickens library on November 20th at 7pm to meet with parents. They will be conducting a virtual walking tour, using Google Street View to look at the intersections and blocks right next to both schools, and allow parents to share particular safety concerns. They will then address Windsor/Kingsway intersection, and possibly other locations, if there is time.
