27 From: Vishal Arora Sent: 2017/03/01 9:44 PM Cc: Urquhart, Chandra Subject: Re: Agenda - Brampton Safety Council Meeting - March 2, 2017 Hello Mr. Evans, Members, I had spoke to you earlier today and explained that due to my work commitments, I would not be able to attend the required number of site inspections each month, a minimum of three. It has been a positive four years on the committee and I have certainly enjoyed working on the committee, sub-committees and attending events on behalf of the committee. As Vice Chair, I felt it was necessary to step down from my current position, as mentioned on our call earlier today. Later this evening during my drive home, I thought it would be best for another Brampton citizen to replace my position as a Citizen Member on this committee. I would like to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Vice Chair and Citizen Committee Member effective March 1, Thank you very much for the opportunities for development that you have provided me during the last four years on this City of Brampton committee. I have enjoyed working on the and appreciate the support provided me during my tenure with the committee. If I can be of any help during this transition, please let me know. Kind regards, Vishal G. Arora Vishal G. Arora

32 SITE INSPECTION AT HEARTLAKE RD AND COPPERFIELD RD WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2017 INTERSECTION OF HEART LAKE RD AND BRUSSELS AVE

33 Site Inspection Report Date: March 7, 2017 Ward 10 School/Location: Sandalwood Heights Secondary School, 2671 Sandalwood Pkwy East Principal: Antonietta Peluso Phone: Time(s): 8:00 a.m. / 2:55 p.m. Weather: Rain Requested By: Student Transportation Nature of Problem: Traffic congestion on school property/school street Observers Present: 8:00 a.m. Max Kazman, Rakesh Joshi, Mike Moffat, Kim Bernard 2:55 p.m. Max Kazman, Mike Moffatt, Kim Bernard Observations: 1. The school is located on Sandalwood Parkway, east of Torbram Road with a population of 1200 students. The school is serviced by 2 large and 8 small buses. The speed limit is posted at 60km/hr, on both Sandalwood Parkway and Torbram Road. 2. No Stopping, Monday to Friday, 8-5 signs are posted on the north and south sides of Sandalwood Parkway for the entire length of school property. There are two signalized entrances/exits for the school, one off Sandalwood Parkway, east of Torbram Road, and the other is located south of Sandalwood Parkway on Torbram Road. 3. Drivers enter from both entrances, and signage is very clearly marked leading vehicles to three parking lots and to the Kiss and Ride in front of school. Signage for the fire route is posted on the driveway, the island and the curb. 4. A three lane Kiss and Ride is marked with one-way signage but the signs are not visible to the traffic. The lane closest to the school entrance is a bus only lane with the appropriate pavement markings and signs; however, it is not separated by cones. The height of the bus loading signs appeared low enough for students to bump their heads. The second lane is a drive-thru lane that is separated by cones. An island divides the coned off drive-thru and the third Kiss and Ride lanes. 5. During the morning site inspection, parents dropped off students on this island separating the two lanes and exited the school property. Light was evident when buses and parents dropped off students. One large bus waited to get to the front of the school to allow students to disembark but that was due to regular traffic build-up in the parking lot.

34 Cones were placed to block the drive-thru lane, between the Kiss and Ride and bus-only lanes at both inspections. In the morning, buses entered without issue and once school started, cars used the bus loading lane for student drop-off. Traffic was not impeded. 7. During the afternoon inspection, the Kiss and Ride area functioned smoothly; however, many students and staff walked across the driveway to get to the north section of the parking lot. 8. There was no traffic congestion and no issues were observed. Traffic flowed well during both site inspections on school property. No issues were identified on the street either. Recommendations: 1. That the site inspection be received; and 2. That the Peel District School Board review the following signage: The height of the bus loading signage The direction of the one-way signage in the Kiss and Ride 3. That the Principal arrange for the placement of cones in the bus loading lane and the removal of the cones to accommodate the arrival of the school buses; and 4. That the Principal instruct staff and students to use the sidewalks and designated available hatched walkways while walking on school property.
