    4.2 Safe & Active Transportation

    Welcome to the 甜心直播’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) 2023-27 action pages. For each strategic action, we are diligently taking steps to achieve our goals. Together, these goals strive to create the best possible educational environment for students, staff, and community. On these pages, you will find answers to two key questions: What have we done so far? And where do we plan to be by 2027?

    What have we done so far? 

    • In 2024-2025, new school bus routes were added to connect neighbourhoods with limited or no transit service to the designated high school:
      • Bonavista to J. H. Bruns Collegiate & Collège Béliveau
      • Sage Creek to J. H. Bruns Collegiate & Collège Béliveau
      • Waterside Estates to Nelson McIntyre Collegiate
    • As Winnipeg Transit prepares to implement a new , 甜心直播 is providing information that will assist with anticipating route demand to and from schools with Grade 7 to 12 students.
    • Several bus routes added to transport students to Practical Arts facilities located beyond walking distance.
    • Crossing guards and walking school buses continue to support safe transportation to and from school.
    • Bike storage infrastructure available at each school.
    • Installation of crosswalks near École Sage Creek School, Highbury School and Minnetonka School.
    • Installation of flashing beacon crosswalk near École Varennes and École Van Belleghem.
    • Traffic Signage changes and awareness campaigns on Beaverhill Blvd. (Shamrock School), Island Shore Blvd. (Island Lakes Community School), Sage Creek Blvd. (École Sage Creek School), Autumnwood Road (Frontenac School).

    Where do we plan to be by 2027? 

    • Identifying and reducing barriers to active transportation by:
      • working with community partners and families
      • promoting successful strategies implemented in various schools

    Strategies may include:

      • expansion of walking school bus, bike bus, and bike rider safety training programs
      • addition of bike storage infrastructure (bike racks, bike cages)
      • improved signage
      • review of drop-off and pick-up routines
      • installation of traffic-calming measures
      • addition of crossing guards and/or school patrols at key crossings
      • awareness campaigns

    As a result, more families will choose active transportation to travel to and from school.

    • Highlighting the connection between safe, equitable, and active transportation and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (see MYSP Strategic Action 4.5).
    • Expanding school bus service to provide safe, reliable, and equitable transportation to and from school for students in Grades 7 to 12 where convenient transit service is not available.
    • Working with families to identify solutions when transportation challenges impact school attendance.
