CALGARY Residents in the northeast community of Skyview want to see some form of traffic control measures on a busy road in a school zone. Skyview Point Road and Skyview Ranch Street is a T-intersection, with access to a parking lot at a city park. That lot is generally filled with parents picking up their kids from Apostles of Jesus School. “It’s a clear 200 metres of runway,” said Sundeep Parmar, who lives nearby. “We have drivers that are reckless, they are either speeding, not even looking out for the children crossing the street into the school.” On January 31, temporary stop signs were placed at the crosswalk, in an effort to slow drivers down through the school zone.

Schools with the Calgary Board of Education are reporting at least 66 new cases of COVID-19 for the month of January so far, forcing up to 2,400 students and 200 staff into quarantine.
