Issue and proposed solutions
A youth ambassador with the City of Vaughan Youth Transportation Program has raised concerns of drivers failing to obey stop signs at the intersection of Brownridge Drive and Draper Boulevard. This residential area experiences high pedestrian traffic due to its proximity to an elementary school, park, and church. The young changemaker has suggested implementing traffic calming measures, such as chicanes or in-road flexible signage, before the stop signs to help reduce vehicle speeds. They submitted these requests to the City of Vaughan.
Outcome:
The Transportation and Fleet Management Services Department at the City of Vaughan has promptly scheduled a stop sign compliance study for this intersection.
