Safe Routes to Schools Strategy for the Municipality of the Kings
FY 2024-25 · 2024-10-18
Summary
"The Municipality of the County of Kings is seeking funding for the development of a Safe Routes to Schools Strategy. In July of 2021, Municipal Council accepted Active Kings County: An Active Transportation Plan for the County of Kings. This document highlighted the need to establish a safe route to schools strategy. This planning study will undertake both strategy development and the design of active transportation infrastructure for the schools within our region. As a rural municipality, the siting of some of our schools is a barrier, as pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure requires further studies for low-density areas, and can be hard to accommodate on high-traffic highway routes.

Description (French)
"La municipalité du comté de Kings cherche à obtenir du financement pour élaborer une stratégie sur la sécurité des voies d’accès aux écoles. En juillet 2021, le conseil municipal a accepté Active Kings County : An Active Transportation Plan for the County of Kings. Ce document soulignait la nécessité d’établir une stratégie d’accès sécuritaire aux écoles. Cette étude de planification consistera à élaborer une stratégie et à concevoir une infrastructure de transport actif pour les écoles de notre région. Étant donné que nous sommes une municipalité rurale, l’emplacement de certaines de nos écoles constitue un obstacle, car les infrastructures pour les piétons et les cyclistes requièrent des études supplémentaires pour les zones à faible densité, et il peut être difficile de les aménager sur les routes à forte circulation.
