Suggested Routes to School Details Primary Goals 1.To develop suggested route maps for 18 elementary and middle schools in GIS format. 2.Identify pedestrian and mobility enhancements for future capital projects. Total Project Budget:$125,000 Time to Complete:16 months

Step 1: Signage and Striping Inventory Inventory of: –School area signs –Pavement markings –School crosswalk markings –Curb ramp presence/absence –Traffic Signals –Stop signs School signs identified by MUTCD sign code Color (Yellow vs FYG) and condition (good, fair, poor) noted

Step 1: Signage and Striping Inventory

Step 2: Draft Walking Route Maps Based on location of traffic controls, crosswalks, and crossing guards, Suggested Walking Routes maps were prepared Walking routes shown from all streets within school enrollment area Walking routes field checked at the same time signage/striping inventory conducted

Step 2: Draft Walking Route Maps

Step 3: Parent Surveys Developed parent survey distributed to all schools –Mode of travel to school –Reasons for not walking –Identified safety concerns in the area –Modifications to the draft walking routes Parent survey distributed on back side of Walking Route Map Both Spanish and English versions developed

English Survey

Spanish Survey

Total number of Schools Responded: 13 out of 18 Total number of responses: 309 Response rates ranged from 0.5% to 12% of enrollment. Survey Results: Entire District
