.jpg "Berkshire Park Elementary Walkabout")
Berkshire Park Elementary students walk and bike to school. To increase the number of students walking and biking, Berkshire Park participated in School Travel Planning in the 2010/2011 school year, facilitated by HASTe.
Berkshire Park Elementary is located at 15372 94 Avenue in Fleetwood.
School Travel Planning successes
- Walked to school with the Mayor on Earth Day in 2012
- Carpooling increased from 5% to 12%
Engineering improvements
In 2013, we built curb bulges, a sidewalk, and speed humps on 94 Avenue in front of Berkshire Park Elementary to:
- Improve student pedestrian safety,
- Raised awareness of the school zone, and
- Reduced vehicle speeds.
In 2012, we improved pedestrian and cyclist safety and encouraged walking and cycling at Berkshire Park Elementary, as well as at North Surrey Secondary, by building:
- A sidewalk and bike lanes on 156 Street from 92 Avenue to 96 Avenue
- A median refuge and crossing on 156 Street for the Green Timbers Greenway
In 2011, we improved pedestrian safety for Berkshire Park Elementary and Johnston Heights Secondary students by installing a crosswalk with activated flashing lights and a median refuge, in coordination with the widening of 96 Avenue.
