South Rutland Elementary Safe Routes to Schools

The South Rutland Elementary Safe Routes to School project is located in Kelowna’s Rutland Urban Centre. The primary focus is upgrading the main crosswalk on Mallach Road at the school’s entrance with curb extensions and other safety enhancements.

Pending a future walkabout with the school, additional minor improvements in the surrounding area may also be considered. The Safe Routes program also includes educational resources and activities to help improve safety comprehensively.

This initiative is part of the City’s ongoing investment to achieve the goals outlined in the Transportation Master Plan (TMP), Official Community Plan (OCP), Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan (PBMP), and other guiding documents. Enhancing pedestrian safety and comfort supports the City’s long-term vision of creating an inclusive transportation network, protecting the environment, promoting community health, and supporting active transportation as a travel mode.
