Upper Noons Creek Drive is a busy commuter path and the site of Mountain Meadows Elementary School, and the City of Port Moody is weighing its options to make the stretch of road safer for students, residents of the neighbourhood, and everyone who travels the route.

The Upper Noons Creek Drive Traffic Calming Study will assess traffic conditions along the road, especially in front of Mountain Meadows Elementary School, aiming to recommend changes that will reduce speeding and other unsafe behaviours; encourage neighbourhood residents to walk or use other active transportation methods; and improve the stretch of road's the safety, comfort, and accessibility.
