Evergreen’s Traffic and Safety Update for August

Evergreen cn

Community Traffic

Please slow down, drive safely, and watch out for each other!

Traffic Around Schools and on the Streets

School is out for summer, but that doesn’t mean playground zones are not in effect!

Please also slow down and remind your neighbours to drive slower as there are more kids home these days and they are playing in front of their houses. Don’t allow your inattention and speed to be the cause of an accident. Watch out for the kids and tell your kids to watch out for the cars! Slow down!

Evergreen Traffic Survey Results

The traffic survey was completed last month, but due to publication submission dates, no results are available for the newsletter. Results will be released online and posted on our website. The results will be shared with our city contacts to make changes in the area where applicable. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Fish Creek Blvd

Fish Creek Blvd has become incredibly busy and fast as it is used as a main connector to the ring road. This will stay busy as some adjacent communities will use it as a preferred path to the ring road. We are working with the city to see what changes can be made. Please be vigilant when using this roadway and watch out for each other.

Community Safety

Watch Out For Each Other!

We are each other’s eyes! As many of your neighbours may be on holidays, keep an eye on their property. See something suspicious? Call the non-emergency number (403-266-1234) to report it. If you have a porch cam and you record something suspicious. Please forward it to the police as they may be able to use it in an investigation.

Keep Your Doors Locked and Your Garages Closed! Follow the 9pm Routine.

Seems like common sense, doesn’t it? But you would be surprised how many doors are left unlocked and garages open. Don’t give thieves easy pickings! This goes for bikes and kids’ toys left in the yard.

There have been many social media posts about people checking cars. This usually is the highest reported crime. People have left their car door unlocked and thieves will wander the street looking for open vehicles, then swipe the valuables. The CPS promotes the 9pm lock down quite a bit. At 9pm lock everything down before you go to bed. A good habit to get into.
