            Schools Mobility Review

            Overview

            In 2018, the City of Whitehorse and the Government of Yukon, Department of Education conducted a transportation study of school sites in Whitehorse to identify existing transportation issues and develop potential solutions.

            The review sought to understand transportation operation and road safety issues and risks that are currently experienced at schools in Whitehorse and identify a range of improvements that could improve overall transportation operations and road safety.

            The study area included priority school sites within the City of Whitehorse.

            City of Whitehorse Schools Mobility Review Report (Final; August 14, 2018)

            Background

            School sites are microcosms of transportation challenges in a community. For an intense but short period, twice a day for much of the year, users of all ages and modes are concentrated into a small area, interacting near each other. School sites are also the homes of our most vulnerable street users. It is crucial that crossings are visible and well-marked and that students have options to safely walk or bike to school. While ideally as many students as possible would arrive in buses or on foot or bike, parent/guardian drop off is also recognized as important and the design to facilitate that movement safely should be considered in all school sites.

            This memo summarizes the recommendations based on site visits to 12 school sites in the Whitehorse area. These visits provided opportunities to observe interactions between users, desire lines for movement and identify locations where infrastructure, education, or signage could improve the safety and quality of those interactions.
