King Edward Park’s Community League Traffic Safety Committee had its first meeting on January 29, 2025. Stakeholders came together to discuss and examine traffic safety issues surrounding Donnan School, Wildheart Children’s Centre, Al Mustafa Academy and Willowbrae Academy. Terms of reference were presented and adopted. Changes in traffic due to the LRT and construction, increase in traffic volume and speeding, vehicle congestion and safety were the main issues discussed. The Committee is exploring best practices to mitigate the traffic safety concerns brought forward. Our City Neighbourhood Resource Coordinator and staff from Safe Mobility, Parks and Roads Services are supporting the committee’s efforts. Plans are to meet again in mid-May to continue exploring best practices to mitigate traffic safety concerns.

Community Announcement: Rezoning Update & Community Appeal
We wanted to inform you about a recent development in our community that has been the subject of much discussion. The City Council has approved a rezoning application that will change the landscape of our beloved King Edward Park Community.
What’s Happening? The approved rezoning will allow for the construction of higher-density housing and commercial spaces on the site. While the intent is to foster growth and bring new amenities, many community members are expressing concerns about the potential impact on our neighborhood’s character and livability.
Your Voices Matter! A group of dedicated residents has organized an appeal against the rezoning decision. They believe that while growth is important, it should be managed in a way that preserves the essence of our community and addresses the needs and concerns of all residents.

Why It Matters: Rezoning can bring both opportunities and challenges. It’s crucial that development aligns with the values and needs of our community. By coming together, we can ensure that any changes reflect the collective vision for King Edward Park—one that honors its history while embracing thoughtful progress.
