Moved by Councillor Santos,

WHEREAS students, teachers and area residents have some serious concerns about vehicular traffic travelling along Alexander Avenue between Quelch Street and Keewatin Street;

AND WHEREAS Quelch Street is used daily for students and teachers to be dropped off who attend Weston School and there is concerns about the safety of the students and teachers who walk to and from that school;

AND WHEREAS on Logan Avenue being a regional street has a reduced speed limit of 50KM/HR, therefore vehicles speed down Alexander Avenue between Quelch Street and Keewatin Street;

AND WHEREAS vehicles are not adhering to the school zone restriction times near Weston School on Quelch Street;

AND WHEREAS there is a desire to install speed tables on Alexander Avenue near Weston School to enhance the safety of children and teachers who walk to and from that school;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Lord Selkirk-West Kildonan Community Committee recommends to the Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works that the Winnipeg Public Service be instructed to conduct a pedestrian and traffic study on Alexander Avenue between Quelch Street and Keewatin Street to facilitate the installation of speed tables on Alexander Avenue or provide other suggestions of traffic calming measures on Alexander Avenue, and report back to the Standing Policy Committee on Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works within 120 days.
