""It is paramount that drivers prioritize the safety of our most vulnerable road users schoolchildren and pedestrians," police said in the release."
""We just like to remind drivers to give themselves extra time and to be mindful of all of the parking bylaws in and around school zones," Urquhart said."
""One of the big things is making sure people aren't trying to park when the buses are pulling in because we don't want children having to cross a live lane of traffic to get into school," Albrecht-Bisset said."
""I think anything helps. Sometimes with the time change and after March Break, maybe people are in a bit of a rush and a little tired coming back and it's great to remind people about the school zones," she said."
Toronto police initiated a safety blitz in school zones following March Break, focusing on enforcement until Friday. The campaign targets illegal parking near schools, ensuring drivers do not endanger children and pedestrians. Officers will monitor no stopping and no parking zones, crosswalks, and school bus loading areas. Parking enforcement officer Erin Urquhart emphasized the importance of planning for drop-offs and pick-ups. Principal Liz Albrecht-Bisset highlighted the need for drivers to slow down and keep bus drop-off zones clear to ensure children's safety.
