SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN Introduction

5

SummaryThe purpose of this School Travel Plan is to provide a summary of the 18-month School Travel Planning process at Ecole Intermediaire Cedar Hill Middle School (hereinafter: CHM). The School Travel Plan is a living document belonging to the school that should be revisited regularly in order to update the status of the School Travel Action Plan and to incorporate future evaluation findings. The School Travel Plan identifies and prioritizes engineering, encouragement, and enforcement actions aimed at creating a safer and more comfortable environment for students and their families to walk, bike, and roll to school.

This document consists of information compiled since the CRD’s Active and Safe Routes to School (hereinafter: ASRTS) program began at CHM in the fall of 2016.

Background In 2016, the CRD contracted the Hub for Active School Travel (hereinafter: HASTe) to implement the School Travel Planning process as part of the CRD’s ASRTS program. School districts and municipalities were solicited to identify schools that would benefit from School Travel Planning. Through this process, a total of 20 schools across 10 municipalities and one electoral area were recruited to participate in the program. This report focuses on CHM, located in the District of Saanich (hereinafter: Saanich).

School Travel Planning School Travel Planning (hereinafter: STP) is a community-based planning process that has been used with success to date in communities across Canada to increase the number of families choosing active transportation modes to get to and from school. School Travel Planning uses a collaborative approach, working to involve all relevant stakeholders and enable communities to tackle the root causes of their schools’ transportation challenges.

SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN Introduction

6

Key benefits of School Travel Planning are:

Improved physical and mental health Improved traffic safety Reduction in pollution Improved air quality

STP involves a network of representatives of key school-transportation stakeholder groups who make up a Stakeholder Committee and inform and support the STP process. Organizations and individuals that contributed to CHM’s STP process included administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and students from the school as well as staff from Saanich, the Greater Victoria School District, Saanich Police, Island Health, and other community partners.

At individual schools, the STP process is led by an STP Facilitator, who convenes a School Committee, comprised of staff, parents, and administration, to outline specific active school travel barriers and solutions, developing the foundation and specifics for each school’s Travel Plan.

The School Travel Planning Process There are five phases of the 18-month STP process.

CHM is part of the Greater Victoria School District and located at 3910 Cedar Hill Rd. in Saanich. The school enrolls a steadily increasing number of students in grades 6 to 8, with over 500 students enrolled in 2016-2017. As the original site of Douglas High School in 1931 before it became Cedar Hill Junior Secondary in 1970, it is one of the school district’s longest standing schools. The building is currently in the development stage of being seismically upgraded.

CHM offers both English and French Immersion programs and is part of the Reynolds Family of Schools feeding into Reynolds Secondary School. In the French Immersion program, students are taught in at least 70 percent French, while English language programs receive French as a Second Language instruction two to three times per week.

All students at CHM are placed in Advisory groups that meet with their designated teacher for the first 30 minutes of every school day to work on developing emotional and social intelligence skills. The school also offers multiple Exploratory programs in art, music appreciation, technology education, and home economics that students rotate through. There are multiple athletics programs and music programs available, as well as extracurricular clubs such as the Student Leadership Club and the Aboriginal Leadership Club. CHM also has close ties to the surrounding community and often connects students with local seniors’ centres.

Neighbourhood Overview CHM is located in the Quadra local area of Saanich in a largely residential area near to mixed-commercial and residential areas. The school is in close vicinity to the Nellie McClung Branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library, the University of Victoria, and the Cedar Hill and Gordon Head Recreation Centres. It 1.2 km and 1.4 km from Bow Park and Braefoot Park respectively, and roughly 2 km from 53.4-hectare Cedar Hill Park. The area received a Walk Score of 80/100 and a Transit Score of 51/100. Walk Score is a measure of neighbourhood walking and transit accessibility, and is often an indicator of community health and well-being (www.walkscore.com).

Transportation Overview The school property is located on Cedar Hill Rd., a major transit route, and between McKenzie Ave. to the north and Cedar Hill Cross Rd. to the south, both major transit routes and designated truck routes. According to Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey, 11% of employed Saanich residents over the age of 15 report using active transportation modes to get to work.

Methodology and ResultsBaseline school travel data was collected through a variety of methods, including student hands-up surveys, family take-home surveys, a school site visit and walkabout, and meetings with the school community.

Baseline hands-up surveys and family take-home surveys were completed in October 2016.

The school site walkabout at CHM took place on November 2, 2016, and the neighbourhood walkabout was conducted on February 28, 2017. The walkabouts were attended by administrators, parents, and various other Stakeholder Committee members, who observed the school’s travel patterns and toured the area to investigate and examine concerns. The walkabouts informed the Travel Challenges section of this report, the Best Routes to School Map (Appendix B), and the School Travel Action Plan (Appendix A).

Hands-Up Baseline Data Fifteen out of twenty-three divisions from grades 6-8 participated in hands-up surveys in October 2016. Teachers asked students to raise their hands when identifying their method of travel to and from school, and recorded responses daily over the course of one week. Results from this survey are presented below.

A copy of the baseline hands-up survey is attached to this document as Appendix C.

Family Survey Baseline Data Family take-home surveys were sent home with each student in October 2016. Families were asked to complete the survey and return it to the school within one week. Families were asked about their child(ren)’s travel choices to and from school, factors that influenced transportation decisions, and local transportation concerns. A copy of the baseline family take-home survey is attached to this document as Appendix D.

198 families completed the survey at CHM. The findings from this survey are presented below.

How does your child(ren) usually get to and from school?

Parents and guardians reported similar mode share percentages as in the hands-up survey, but with slightly higher incidences of walking and cycling. The decline in driving rates in the afternoon is notable: 36% fewer students are driven home in the afternoon than arrive by car in the morning, suggesting that many of the morning car trips to school at CHM could be made by active means.

Who usually accompanies your child on the way to school?

Roughly half (53%) of students travel to and/or from school with a parent, grandparent, or other adult, while few travel with a sibling (6%), slightly more travel with a friend (17%), and a quarter of the students (25%) travel alone.

How far away from school do you live?

Over 40% of students must travel over 3 km to get to school. Distance therefore likely plays a key role for many parents and students when deciding how to commute to and from school. Only 7% live within .5 km of the school, and the majority (86%) of these students walk or skate. Comparatively, of those living over 3 km away, 54% are driven in a vehicle, 11% carpool with at least one other family, and 26% take public transit.

Our neighbourhood is safe for children to walk to school

The majority (87%) of families believe their neighbourhood is safe. Factors such as distance, traffic, and having a companion to travel with seem to be the largest influencers on active transportation choices, according to the survey data.

What are the main reasons your child(ren) is/are usually driven to/from school?

Parents cited distance (60%), convenience (47%), and being on the way to somewhere else (34%) as the most common reasons for driving their child to and/or from school. The pre-eminence of distance is to be expected considering over a third of students live more than 3 km from the school. “Other” responses related to having before-school activities and carrying heavy band

For the 104 families that reported driving their child(ren) to and/or from school, the most common conditions under which parents indicated they would allow their child to walk to and/or from school were if they lived closer (67%), if the child were not alone (38%), if they were older (25%), and if there was reduced traffic dangers (23%). Notable “Other” responses generally related to having to carry heavy instruments and it being dark during the student’s commute.

I would allow my child(ren) to cycle to school if...

Parents indicated that they would allow their child to bike to and/or from school primarily if there were safer routes (58%), reduced traffic (47%) and if they lived closer (37%). Given the proximity of the McKenzie Ave. and Cedar Hill Rd. bike routes to CHM, the pre-

eminence of safer routes as a determining factor in allowing children to ride suggests that parents have a poor opinion or are not aware of these facilities. Similar to walking, notable “Other” responses related to carrying instruments, having appropriate weather, and the child being willing to bike.

When you walk or cycle as a family, what motivates you?

Families that walk or cycle together reported being primarily motivated by the benefits of physical activity (82%), not having to worry about parking (57%), and to a lesser extent the environmental benefits (28%) and the level of fun (21%) associated with walking or cycling as a family.

Transportation Walkabout Two walkabouts were held at CHM to explore transportation challenges facing the school, and begin developing strategies to help the school community overcome them.

A school site walkabout, attended by members of the school community, was held on November 2, 2016, to explore issues pertaining to the school site and campus.

Cut-out from the walkabout observation map for CHM

A community walkabout, attended by members of both the school community and the external partner network, was held on February 28, 2017 to explore and discuss barriers to active travel in the neighbourhood and potential walking and cycling routes around the school.

Both walkabouts were followed by meetings at which participants debriefed and discussed their experiences, and began brainstorming solutions to the challenges they had observed. The walkabouts and subsequent discussions informed the School Travel Action Plan developed for CHM (Appendix A).

SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN School Travel Challenges

16

School travel challenges are the barriers to active travel faced by students, families and staff at CHM. These challenges were identified through the take-home surveys where students identified on a map the areas of their highest concern, through focus groups with student leaders; and through conversations with the school administrators and other members of the school community.

This section, along with CHM’s School Travel Action Plan (Appendix A), identifies some of the challenges and presents recommended solutions, drawn from the school community and best practices in the field of ASRTS, to overcome the barriers to active travel at CHM.

1. Poor active travel infrastructure on Cedar Hill Rd.CHM is bordered on the east by Cedar Hill Rd., a two-lane collector road. Cedar Hill Rd. was the greatest source of concerns voiced by parents through the family baseline survey.

Painted bike lanes on both sides of Cedar Hill Rd. (north of McKenzie Ave. and south of Cedar Hill Cross Rd.) provide dedicated space for cyclists. Between Cedar Hill Cross Rd. and Gregory Pl., which borders CHM to the south, and between McKenzie Ave. and Garnet Rd., which borders CHM to the north, there are neither bike lanes nor shoulders; cyclists must share the lane with motor vehicles.

There are sidewalks on Cedar Hill Rd. on at least one side of the road, between McKenzie Ave. to the north and Cedar Hill Cross Rd. to the south. During the walkabout, parents mentioned that their children often report that the sidewalks on Cedar Hill Rd. are too narrow, especially as cyclists often ride on the sidewalk near the school as they do not feel comfortable riding with vehicle traffic.

Narrow sidewalks on one side of Cedar Hill Rd.

The bike lane on Cedar Hill Rd. ends at McKenzie Ave., a block north of the school

The District of Saanich has a long-term plan to complete the bike lanes on Cedar Hill Rd., including on the stretch adjacent to the school. The cycling network project along Cedar Hill Rd. was put on hold while the District undertook the development of the “Moving Saanich Forward” plan. In the near-term, providing ongoing on-road cycling skills and safety training to students at CHM will support them in planning safe routes and cycling to school, and registering the school for the annual Bike to School Week event will encourage new students to join the 10% of their peers who already cycle to school regularly.

Dropped curbs and wide curb returns at the intersection of Cedar Hill Rd. and Cedar Hill Cross Rd.

2. Pedestrian safety at the intersection of Cedar Hill Rd. and Cedar Hill Cross Rd. Through the baseline survey, parents expressed concerns about the safety of pedestrians crossing the intersection of Cedar Hill Rd. and Cedar Hill Cross Rd., an irregular X-shaped intersection south of the school.

The intersection features turning lanes in all directions and gives priority to turning motor vehicle traffic during peak travel times. These turning lanes, along with wide curb return radii, increase the distance and time pedestrians must spend in the roadway when crossing the intersection.

A power pole and traffic signal reduce visibility on the northeast corner of the intersection.

Curb return radii on all four corners of the intersection are wide; however, parents singled out the northeast corner of the intersection as being of particular

19

concern. This corner is at road-grade and does not physically separate pedestrians waiting to cross from motor vehicles in the intersection. There is a power pole in the middle of the curb return, along with a traffic signal on the curb just east of the pedestrian letdown; both of these reduce the visibility of pedestrians waiting to cross.

3.A school of choice As a dual-track English/French school with a strong music and sports program, CHM attracts students from a large area. Based on data from the family baseline survey, 41% of students live over 3 km from the school while only 29% live within 1.6 km.

During the walkabout, participants mentioned that a number of CHM students have parents who work at the University of Victoria and drop off their children on the way to work. Raising awareness about the health and academic benefits of active travel, and promoting Drive to Five locations and Best Routes to School maps to parents, would encourage and enable them to identify opportunities for their children to be active on the way to school.

The school has posted signs to keep parents from dropping their children off on the visitor parking lot

A drop-off loop was recently built on Garnet Rd. to keep kids safe

The bus stop on Cedar Hill Rd. adjacent to the school

4. Transit service CHM is located near two arterial roads and on a collector road, all of which are bus routes. While public transit accounts for a significant proportion of students' trips, parents identified a few “pain points” during the walkabout that are keeping more students from using transit to get to school.

BC Transit representatives mentioned that most routes and schedules in the area around CHM are designed with University of Victoria students in mind. Parents reported that this often results in CHM students having to choose whether to arrive at school very early or a little late.

Parents also mentioned that transit facilities near the school were in need of improvement. The southbound bus stop on Cedar Hill Rd. has a platform, on which cars are forbidden to park and where students can wait, but no shelter. This makes transit an undesirable option when it is raining. The westbound bus stops on McKenzie Ave. and Cedar Hill Cross Rd. likewise have no shelters, but also have no platforms or spaces to wait other than the sidewalk. This works poorly for large groups of students who leave school around the same time and must wait for the bus together.

The bus stop on Cedar Hill Cross Rd. leaves little space for groups of students

Finally, parents mentioned that BC Transit’s decision to eliminate “youth fares” and transfers has created a cost barrier to students taking transit. Students who purchase monthly or year-long passes can still take advantage of reduced youth rates. Students who do not, and whose trips require more than one bus, often end up paying for a day pass even if they only take the bus one way to or from school.

Over the course of the STP process at CHM, a number of interventions were undertaken to address barriers to active school travel and encourage walking and cycling trips to school. Education and Engagement interventions inform members of the school community about active transportation; Encouragement interventions encourage students and families to travel actively; Enforcement interventions compel awareness of and compliance with traffic laws and bylaws; and Engineering interventions are physical changes that make walking and cycling safer, more comfortable and more convenient.

Interventions undertaken during the STP process at CHM are detailed in the section below. Interventions identified that have yet to be undertaken can be found in CHM’s School Travel Action Plan (Appendix A).

Education and Engagement Inspiration Board The administration created an inspiration board, which was placed outside the front office at the main entrance to the school; it is a large bulletin which highlights the ASRTS program. The board, which is visible as soon as one enters the school, displays the “People Power” pinney flag, the poster-sized Best Routes map, and graphs of the school’s baseline survey results, as well as printouts highlighting fun information to inspire students.

PAC Presentation The Cedar Middle PAC hosted an evening presentation by a UVic professor and staff from Island Health’s Healthy School Initiative. The aim of the presentation was to provide parents with information about new research on the impacts of physical activity and nutrition on children’s development, and steps that parents can take to ensure their children receive the benefits of both. The presentation included information about opportunities for parents to volunteer in executing parts of the school’s STP action plan, organizing engagement campaigns, and creating communication pieces for the school newsletter.

school. Routes are selected based on information provided by the take-home survey and during the neighbourhood walkabout, as well as from consultation with the PAC and a review of existing infrastructure. Where applicable, the routes selected feature pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and marked crosswalks. The Best Routes to School map is attached to this document as Appendix B.

Cut-out of the Best Routes to School map for CHM

The school received a poster-sized printout of the Best Routes to School map, which is now displayed prominently in its main entrance.

SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN Follow-up data

Methodology and Results Online surveys were completed during October and November 2017, a year after baseline data was collected. A total of 47 families completed the follow-up survey.

How does your child usually get to school?

In the baseline survey conducted in the fall of 2016, 41% of families reported driving to school, 11% report cycling, 13% reported using public transit, and another 24% reported walking. In the follow-up survey, 18% of families reported driving to school, 32% report cycling and 50% reported walking. Overall, the rate of walking more than doubled, the rate of cycling almost tripled, the rate of transit decreased, and the rate of driving decreased by more than half.

SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN Follow-up data

25

In what ways have your family's school travel habits changed, since the School Travel Planning process began in 2016?

In the follow-up survey, 29% of families reported that they were driving less to school, 2% that they were driving more to school, and 69% that their travel habits were unchanged.

Which School Travel Planning activities do you feel have been most effective for your family?

Parents who completed the survey felt that infrastructure improvements, the Best Routes to School map and Bike to School Week were the most effective activities implemented during the STP process

School Travel Planning

Monday, October 3rd, 2016 Dear Parent (Guardian):

Cedar Hill middle school is taking part in Capital Regional District’s People Power program and the School Travel Planning process this school year, to enable more students and families to walk, scooter or cycle on their journey to and from school.

The benefits of active school travel include:

• Increased safety• Improved health• Arriving alert and ready to learn• Less stress, greater happiness• Reduced traffic congestion near the school• Less pollution

Please take 8 to 10 minutes with your child(ren) who attend this school to complete this survey. Your answers will help us better understand the travel choices made by families at Cedar Hill middle school, with the purpose of improving the safety and health of the school community. You only need to submit one survey per family, and return it by Friday, October 7th, 2016. There will be a prize for the first classroom that collects all of their surveys.

If you have any questions about the survey or the School Travel Planning project, please contact: Lise Richard at [email protected]

Thank you,

Carter Giesbrecht Principal

Good morning everyone,

We are excited to announce that Cedar Hill Middle School is participating in the CapitalRegional District’s Active and Safe Routes to School project.

School Travel Planning is a process that involves students, parents and communitypartners to find new ways to encourage, motivate and support more children and theirfamilies to safely walk, bike or roll to and from school.

Active transportation is a great way to support increased physical activity and contributes toour region’s environmental, economic and social priorities.

We are currently looking for interested parents and students to work with decision makers,law enforcement agencies and community partners to explore barriers and generatesolutions that can make it easier for families to choose active modes more often.

For more information or to sign up to help, please contact Carter Giesbrecht
