More NEW Money FOUND for School District 43 … when is the announcement?
Indulge me for one minute? What if SD43 built on an existing site of a previously closed Port Moody or Coquitlam School site ….
…. then SD43 could sell the Anmore property and apply the “new found money” to fund programs within School District 43 that still require more funding.
Is it to late to build [...]

TRAFFIC CALMING IN HILLSIDE NEIGHBOURHOODS - CASE STUDY – PORT MOODY, B.C.
This 2007 study found:
“Traffic issues often arise during school drop-off/pick-up periods. Many local schools do not have adequate on-site parking and drop-off/pick-up areas. The topography of hillside areas is not conducive for large parking lots. Consequently, vehicles overflow onto streets, causing parking, sight-line and other safety issues. Congestion, illegal parking and pedestrian safety [...]
