Effective times for the existing school zones are being modified to ensure coverage for students at the following five campuses: Harmony School of Innovation on Fish Creek Road, Uplift Grand Preparatory on Church Street, Harmony Science Academy on NW 7th Street, Immaculate Conception Catholic School on NE 17th Street, and the bus stop for several students from the Young Women’s and Young Men’s Leadership Academies on Robinson Road.

A new school zone is being established on north Carrier Parkway to protect this crossing location. Also, students from GP Collegiate Institute are crossing Hill St. to access parking area. A new school zone is being established on Hill St. to protect this crossing.
