Issue/Description Arbor Elementary

1. Issue: Pedestrian zones around the School are not clearly delineated. ‐There are no markings/striping/colored pavement surrounding the school property, primarily in entry and exit driveways ‐The paint marking pedestrian crosswalks surrounding the perimeter of the school is faded and not easy for motorists to see, adding hazards for pedestrians using those crossings.

2. Issue: Pedestrians are crossing at Arbor/E 200th, instead of the crosswalk location at Monterrey/200th. ‐The Arbor/200th crossing is more convenient to pedestrian travelers coming from the north side of the School campus and students cross there, rather than the designated crosswalk.

3. Issue: Sidewalks around the School are narrow and do not accommodate peak flows of traffic, or snow removal areas ‐Active transportation travelers sometimes use the road rather than sidewalk to travel ‐Wider sidewalks would encourage more biking and walking

4. Issue: Safety of students is compromised by parents speeding around school ‐Parents who are dropping off and picking up their children and hurried through the school zone, and often speed, compromising the safety of the children.

Issue/Description Bluestone Elementary

1. Issue: Pedestrian zones around the School are not clearly delineated. ‐There is no markings/striping/colored pavement surrounding the school property, primarily in entry and exit driveways. ‐The paint marking pedestrian crosswalks surrounding the perimeter of the school is faded and not easy for motorists to see, adding hazards for pedestrians using those crossings.


SECTION 4: KEY ISSUES IMPACTING SAFE WALKING AND BICYCLING TO SCHOOL


plate | w


29

Issue/Description Chardon Hills Elementary



3. Issue: Chardon Rd, a common entryway to School, is unsafe‐Speed limit is 35 mph on Chardon Rd ‐Chardon Rd lacks a crossing guard, adult supervision, and lighting, making this travel route a common concern for parents ‐There are no crosswalks at the intersection of Chardon Rd and E 232d, E 234th, or E 236th

4. Issue: Chardon Hills Elementary is not designed to support walkers ‐The pathway around the school is not continuous, making it difficult for walkers and bikers to enter at the designed entrance of the building, and it does not have lighting ‐Walkers and biker tend to approach the school from E 232d, where there is not adequate lighting.

Issue/Description Shoreview Elementary



3. Issue: Missing crosswalks on several intersections‐The intersections of E 255th/Shoreview, E255th/Halle, and E 257th/Gilmore do not have crosswalks leading to the school, but are traveled by students.

Issue/Description Central Middle School

1. Issue: Pedestrian zones around the School are not clearly delineated. ‐There are no markings/striping/colored pavement surrounding the school property, primarily in entry and exit driveways ‐The paint marking pedestrian crosswalks surrounding the perimeter of the school is faded and no easy for motorists to see, adding hazards for pedestrians using those crossings.

2. Issue: Safety of students is compromised by parents speeding around school. ‐Parents who are dropping off and picking up their children and hurried through the school zone, and often speed, compromising the safety of the children. ‐Parents are not obeying signs/policies for direction of travel.

3. Issue: Central Middle School is located at a busy Y‐intersection of Euclid Ave (Rt 20) and Chardon Rd (Rt 6) ‐The Y‐intersection creates a large amount of traffic during peak flow hours, which coincides with arrival and dismissal of students. ‐There are two crossing guards for School, but the streets need longer lights to allow pedestrian movement and wider streets/sidewalks to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians. ‐This area is dominated by businesses and industry.

Issue/Description Forest Park Middle School

1. Issue: Pedestrian zones around the School are not clearly delineated. ‐There are no markings/striping/colored pavement surrounding the school property, primarily in entry and exit driveways ‐The paint marking pedestrian crosswalks surrounding the perimeter of the school is faded and not easy for motorists to see, adding hazards for pedestrians using those crossings‐especially E 266th and Elinore.


3. Issue: There is limited visibility in front of the School on Elinore Ave. ‐With buses in the front of the School for pick‐up and drop‐off, cars can travel in both directions, where there is limited visibility. The direction of travel should be limited to one‐way.

4. Issue: Some common travel intersections lack crosswalks‐E 263d/Elinore Ave, E 272d/Walnut, and E 272d/Elinore lack crosswalks

Pedestrian zones around the School are not clearly delineated. There is no markings/striping/color‐ed pavement surrounding the school property, primarily in entry and exit driveways. The paint marking pedestrian crosswalks surrounding the perimeter of the school is faded and not easy for motorists to see, adding hazards for pedestrians using those crossings.

Paint all applicable driveways and crosswalks

Education

drive more safely around pedestrians and bicyclists.

bicyclists, and;

Encouragement Activities
