Riverview School will become a safer area for the kids to be picked up, dropped off, and boarding the busses this September.
The city of Dryden, in cooperation with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, have made some by-law changes to the Davis Street and Earl Avenue intersection.
The school bus loading and unloading, currently located on Davis St. right in front of the school’s main doors, will be moved off the street to make a safer loading area for the students.
Other changes recommended by the traffic committee and passed by mayor and council at the July 19 open council meeting include the installation of three new stop signs at the intersection of Earl Ave. and Davis St., and the installation of a painted crosswalk on the east side of the intersection of Earl and Davis, encouraging parents to drop off students along Earl Ave. and to utilize the sidewalk system on Earl to cross Davis St. at a controlled intersection to access the school.
Other changes will include adding a No Stopping restriction to the north side of Davis St. in the area of the bus turn in/turn out access point to ensure a safe turning area, as well as adding several No Parking restrictions on the north and south sides of Davis Street to allow only for the standing of a vehicle momentarily to pick up or drop off students.
These changes are expected to be in place no later than two weeks prior to the start of the new school year to allow the public to familiarize themselves with the changes.
