Speed bumps planned near Langley Fundamental Elementary School

Raised crosswalk, speed bumps planned for 50 Avenue east of 216 Street.

The road that runs in front of the Langley Fundamental Elementary School will get three speed bumps and a raised crosswalk this summer.

A report to Langley Township council from the municipal engineering division said that option was selected by more than half the people who attended a February open house on traffic calming for 50 Avenue near 217B Street where it runs in front of the school.

Construction is scheduled to begin this summer and will cost $34,500, the report said.

Langley Fundamental has more than 500 K-to-5 students.

In an online description, the school says it “is an alternate program that has operated for the last 35 years within the public school system” which emphasizes a “consistent, structured approach to instruction and learning … attainment of skills in a systematic, sequential manner [and the] establishment of a clearly defined standard of behaviour.”
