Akiva School students use their creativity to support road safety
On June 22, as part of the Safe Routes to School project, the City of Westmount, in collaboration with the Centre écologique urbain, invited students from garde 5 from Akiva School to take part in a painting activity on five traffic-calming islands that will be installed at selected intersections in the City Hall area.
The activity followed the co-design workshop held on May 14, during which the students shared their daily travel experiences, identified the road safety issues they encounter on their journey to school, and helped select the colours, themes and patterns for the future installations. The Akiva School students then brought their ideas to life by painting the designs that will decorate the traffic-calming islands. These road safety features are intended to improve pedestrian visibility at intersections, reduce crossing distances and make motorists more aware that they are entering a school zone.
By incorporating children's perspectives into the design of these safety measures, the City is continuing its efforts to create safer school routes that better reflect the needs of those who use them every day.
The City wishes to express its sincere appreciation to the students and staff of Akiva School, as well as the Centre écologique urbain, for their valuable contributions to this initiative.
