Issue and proposed solutions

A segment of E Pender St between Lillooet and Nootka features two unmarked speedbumps at the bottom of a steep hill, near an elementary school, preschool, and community center. The lack of markings poses a risk to drivers and young children in the area. To improve safety, this young leader wrote to the city councillor to request clearly marking the speedbumps, adding traffic-calming measures like signage or reduced speed limits, and enhancing pedestrian safety with well-marked crosswalks and better lighting.

Outcome:

The city councillor has responded agreeing with the issue and stating that they will work with the City’s engineering team to resolve it.
