@theneworleans.bsky.socialA key aspect of Vision Zero is making sure kids have safe and accessible active transportation options to and from their school. With Vision Zero Ottawa and Show Us Your School Street, I’d like to share my analysis of…

@greencommunities.bsky.socialWelcome to West Sechelt Elementary School, one of the 23 communities that are part of the nationwide #SchoolStreets movement.
This week, West Sechelt Elementary launched their School Street as part of this movement.

@cassiesmith.bsky.social#Ottawa, were looking for #SchoolStreets volunteers in Old Ottawa East.
You can help @envirocentre.bsky.social make school drop off hugs like this possible.
Volunteers welcome families, share info & help monitor barricades during school drop-off and pick-up times.
@mumsforlungs.bsky.socialInteresting insights here from @cyclinguk.bsky.social. Good to see that one of their YouGov polls this year revealed that 70% of people support #SchoolStreets - but think that only 49% of others do. Also interesting to see common misperceptions around the popularity of cycle routes and speed limits.
@walkriderochdale.org.ukNew report on #TheRouteForward from @cyclinguk.bsky.social - broadly, support for #ActiveTravel infrastructure (and particularly #SchoolStreets) is broader than people think, but successful trials/implementation requires a holding of political nerve.
@mumsforlungs.bsky.socialLiz really enjoyed presenting at the @ategov.bsky.social conference this week, sharing thoughts on #SchoolStreets and the importance of collaborative working across all sectors. If we’re serious about creating safer, healthier journeys to school, it takes everyone working together 💚. #MAP2026
@enobacon.urbanists.social.ap.brid.gyOptical Narrowing cues drivers to slow down and pay attention. Traffic patterns can be simplified and kids don't need to be driven to the front door of the school. #VisionZero #trafficEngineering #stuffInTheStreet #roundabouts #schoolStreets #bikewayNetwork #bollards #ModalFilter […]
@mumsforlungs.bsky.socialThanks to Nikita, a parent at Wendell Park Primary, for sharing her experience with us.

@mumsforlungs.bsky.socialIt's #CarFreeDay and we're celebrating #SchoolStreets!
Read how Hammersmith & Fulham went from a borough with no School Streets to starting its first-ever one. From jams and near-misses to "an oasis of calm, clean air and good vibes." Persistence paid off!
@solveschoolrun.bsky.socialWe are parents just like you, frustrated with how unsafe and stressful the school run can be. School Streets are amazing - when they work. And when they don't, there are reasons...
🫵 What are your experiences of School Streets?
@greencommunities.bsky.social🎉This school year is starting with a healthier, happier, and safer school zone for children and parents at École élémentaire publique Trille des Bois thanks to #SchoolStreets pilot led by @envirocentre.bsky.social

Do you?
