I have just heard that they will be adding a new parking lot to the north side of Derek Taylor Publc School with 16 parking spaces. This parking lot wll be accessed by a closed loop crescent which already has 30+ children living in it and many, many students who walk into this loop to get to the school. This will make our already busy road extremely dangerous for those who live there and those who travel to school there. This issue should have been addressed when the school was built as the parking was inadequate at that time. I did not receive any information or a chance to give my opinion on this (I live 3 houses from where the parking lot will be). I am, once again, disappointed and frustrated with the city's ideas of where parking is safe and available. What do I do?

Speeding on residential streets is a common complaint reported by concerned citizens throughout the City. Speed humps are often requested because they are perceived as a quick and effective solution to speeding. Research has shown; however, that speed humps are not always an effective or safe traffic control device.
The City of Grande Prairie has done its own effectiveness assessment before considering speed humps as a possible solution to residential speeding. The study carefully evaluated the impact of speed humps on traffic speeds and other related elements in neighbourhoods. At the conclusion of the study, it was determined that speed humps are not a desirable speed control method for our City, due to a number of negative factors, specifically Emergency Response Time: The most significant issue is the emergency vehicle response time.
For that reasons, the City of Grande Prairie does not use speed humps on public streets.

Traffic calming is a term most commonly associated with physical features placed on a roadway to influence the speed of vehicles. There are many factors to be considered before traffic calming devices are installed.
