Yes, this applies to all of us. Although many of us have great newish cars or trucks, they are only as safe as the driver behind the wheel. Please pay attention to your speed and what is happening on and adjacent to roads – bikes, kids, dogs and elders. The OCA Board is looking for someone who will continue to strive for safer roads in our neighbourhood. If interested, please advise us ahead of the AGM in September.
As we move into Summer, we will have even more people out and about on our pathways, pedestrian crossings, at intersections without crossings and even children playing in their front driveways. We encourage all residents to DRIVE WITH CARE, obey the posted speed limits and avoid distracted driving.
Calgary Police Service has also been intermittently present assisting with monitoring, education and compliance enforcement. According to City statistics and road usage, Oakridge does NOT warrant much additional road calming improvements. If you have any specific concerns, please raise these with the City at 311 and share it with us. https://oakridgecommunity.ca/local-concerns
Road changes are progressing at 90th Av and 24 St intersection with limited input from OCA.
