11 Actions: Efficiencies of Traffic Operations Encourage students within walking distance to walk / bike, etc. by providing site infrastructure and support o racks for bikes o allowing skateboards and scooters, o Walking School Bus program o student bus buddy program o promoting physical activity with students and families Review bus routes / student eligibility / pick up locations to maximize bus transportation / minimize car use Significantly offset school arrival / dismissal times with St John Bosco CS : +45 minutes Actively monitored and efficient parking and Kiss n Ride: o Utilization of parking on site - 92 parking spaces available 46 space increase over bylaw requirements and 50% over DDSB standards o Kiss n Ride and parent parking off Clearbrook Drive only o Educational material to be provided advising parents of expected drop off / pick up areas, Kiss n Ride and No Stopping zones, expectations and protocol o DDSB Facilities, Transportation staff and Area Superintendent fully involved in school start up; responding to traffic issues on site, in real time Partner with the City of Oshawa to add signage in problem areas and encourage enforcement Add site fencing along Coldstream Drive to discourage informal drop off zones Parking and bus loop entry/exit located on Coldstream Drive to limit access at peak times and preserve throughfare o Bus loading/unloading takes place within DDSB site; no roadside bus access o Utilize right in/ right out to control movement of traffic Clearbrook Drive extension to be open by September 2016 alleviating traffic congestion

12 Considerations: Cooperation between DDSB and DCDSB, DRPS, City of Oshawa Bylaw, Planning and Fire Department to problem solve traffic issues DDSB continues to collaborate with DCDSB on key issues; participation in traffic study Review DSTS secondary school pick up stop on Coldstream Drive and relocate as required Consider Right Out Only during peak times onto Clearbrook Drive Green initiatives DDSB strives to be eco-friendly and respect the environment o Balance between maximizing green space and the asphalt areas required for efficient traffic movement o School focus on healthy active living to encourage walking, bus use etc. Control bus arrivals and departures as well as student eligibility Safety is always paramount in designing within our Communities

13 Other Factors: Site planning and approval (SPA) is formal, legal process driven by City of Oshawa, Region and interested agencies working with the DDSB. Only site currently available to the DDSB for development in North Oshawa and is strategically located for a potential French Immersion program Reduction of enrolment at St John Bosco CS in September 2015 with new DDSB school opening o Lessening area traffic 407 construction is disrupting routes creating artificial traffic flows and congestion - temporary situation DDSB strives to be a good community neighbour and form community partnerships DDSB is cognizant of Emergency Services use of Coldstream Drive when responding to calls School anticipated to open under capacity and will gradually increase to capacity over time
