Starting today, the City of Vancouver in partnership with the Vancouver School Board (VSB) is launching a four-week School Streets pilot at three elementary schools.
A School Street is a car-free block beside a school open to walking, biking, and rolling during drop-off and pick-up.
School volunteers will be leading the day-to-day implementation of the pilot program.
The goals of the pilot are to help improve safety, encourage active travel and reduce carbon pollution, which is part of the Climate Emergency Action Plan and Transportation 2040 Plan.
The School Streets pilot will be in place April 12 to May 7 at:
Hastings Elementary
Lord Roberts Elementary
Van Horne Elementary
