On this episode of Your Region Pod, we are looking at Community Safety Zones. What are they, why are they needed, and how are they enforced? The reality is that more kids than ever are being driven to school because parents no longer feel safe letting their kids walk, or ride their bikes. This has everything to do with the number of cars, and high rates of speed. In a sense, more cars have begotten more cars. In response to this, The Region is creating Community Safety Zones in areas with higher pedestrian volumes.
To help guide us through the program we invited Valerie Smith, Director of Road Safety and Safe Mobility Programs at Parachute Canada. Leslie Maxwell from Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region. We also bring back Doug Spooner, the Interim Commissioner for Transportation Services here at The Region of Waterloo.
