Section 2: Introduction

The Painesville Township SRTS Team understands that a contributing factor to concerns for our children’s health may stem from their being driven to and from school instead of safely walking or biking to and from school. In recognizing that a link exists between the health issues impacting our nation’s children and their direct involvement in physical activity, the Painesville Township SRTS Core team established the primary goals for the Painesville Township STP to be the following:

Educating students on the safety and value of utilizing active transportation to and from school; and,

Encouraging students to walk and/or bike to and from school via clearly defined routes allowing for their safe and healthy travel.

The Painesville Township SRTS Team, through input from the students, parents, teachers, principals, county agencies and local businesses seeks to clearly define the many barriers and deterrents that sway children from choosing, and their parents from allowing their children to safely walk and bike to and from school. To provide an excellent and safe environment for students to learn and grow, the Hale, Hadden, Buckeye and Madison School Safeway Plan (hereafter referred to as the Plan) has been developed to address the barriers and deterrents and to encourage the physical activity of our elementary school children by their walking and biking to and from school.

Data included in this plan was compiled using information gathered from stakeholder input, parent surveys, school demographic information (www.reportcard.ohio.gov) and community input. Based on this information, the Plan focuses on the identification of barriers to active transportation and proposes solutions to promote the active transportation opportunities to and from each school. Potential solutions are identified from all 5 E’s of the Safe Routes to School program: Education, Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement, and Evaluation. For the purposes of encouraging active transportation, a one mile radius target area for walking students, and a two mile radius target area for bicycling students will be used as a guide for infrastructure related improvements.

Stakeholders

The Painesville SRTS Core Team represents a well-rounded group of stakeholders for the development of the Plan and includes representatives from the Township, Lake County Sheriff Department, the represented schools, and several County agencies. It was the intent of the Painesville SRTS Core team to involve local team members capable of providing valuable community insight and school perspectives with which to achieve the mission of maintaining and improving a safe walking and biking environment. In addition to the Core Team, additional stakeholders were engaged on an individual basis for input into the development of the school travel plan. This group included the following:

Section 3: Public Input Process

Community Engagement/Involvement Community engagement/involvement is vital to the success of a STP. The Painesville Township SRTS Core Team efforts have sought to include the entire community in developing the Plan through a number of collection mechanisms to gather input including:

Task Force and Stakeholder Engagement

Local Press Coverage

Parent Surveys and School Tally Sheets

Community Partnering

Student Engagement Activities

Public Comment

Stakeholder and Stakeholder Engagement ‐ The SRTS Core Team held a total of seven Team Coordination meetings on March 25,

April 15, May 6, May 20, June 10, October 21, and November 15 in 2010. Copies of the Meeting Agendas and notes are included as an attachment in Section 12.

‐ Task Force Members and additional Key Stakeholders were invited to complete stakeholder interview surveys. A total of 8 completed surveys were returned, including responses from representatives from each school, local government agencies and individuals with vested interest in the Safe Routes to Schools Program. Copies of the complete surveys have been included as an attachment in Section 12.

‐ Representatives from the SRTS Core Team participated in walk-ability & bike-ability audits of the roads and walkways in the neighborhoods surrounding each school area. Walking Audits were conducted on May 6 (Clyde C. Hadden), May 28 (Hale Road), June 2 (Buckeye), and June 3 (Madison Avenue) in 2010.

Parent Surveys and School Tally Sheets ‐ Parent Surveys were distributed to students on April 19, 2010 to take home for completion

by parents/guardians. Completed surveys were collected from student of all four schools by May 21, 2010.

‐ School Tally Sheets were completed by the appropriate Teachers at all four participating schools during the week of May 17, 2010.

‐ The results of the Parent Surveys and School Tally Sheets were transmitted on May 26, 2010 to the National Center for Safe Routes to Schools, which processed the data through their database and returned their review on July 28, 2010. A copy of the invitation letter to complete the Parent Surveys, and copies of the Parent Surveys and Tally Sheets collection data received from the National Center are included in Section 12.

Community Partnering In conjunction with the completion of the Parent Surveys, the Mentor Wal-Mart partnered with the Painesville SRTS Core Team in providing 12 bikes, which were purchased through the SRTS program, for a raffle in each of the participating schools. In conjunction with the purchase of these twelve bikes, Wal-Mart donated twelve bike helmets – one for each bike purchased.

Student Engagement Activities Each school conducted a bike raffle to raise awareness of the SRTS program and to encourage the return of the Parent Surveys in a timely fashion. Twelve (12) bicycles with safety helmets were awarded by raffle to 12 of the students from the total who returned their surveys, with three bikes and safety helmets presented to each school. A copy of the bike raffle invitation, award certificate, and letter of thanks to Wal-Mart is included as an attachment in Section 12.

Public Comment Period The SRTS Core Team published a request for public comment on June 3, 2010 in the News-Herald, a locally based northern Ohio newspaper. Painesville Township residents were asked to print a survey from the newspaper’s website and return it to the Township with comments. A total of two completed surveys were received in response to this public comment request. A copy of the publicized notice and completed surveys are included as attachments in Section 12.

Public Meeting

The SRTS Core Team publicized a Community Presentation meeting through the Lake County Tribune and the News-Herald, both locally based newspapers, and through a student take-home hand-out. The meeting was held from 6:30 to 7:30 pm at the Painesville Township Hall on December 6, 2010. Each Core Team member in attendance (ten in-total) was provided a Painesville Township Safe Routes to Schools Information sheet.

A total of six Information Stations were arranged to provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the Hale, Hadden, Buckeye and Madison Schools Safeway Plan:

The Welcome Station hosted a sign-in sheet, the “Children Deserve Safe Routes to School” information sheet (as supplied by the Nation Center), a list of the SRTS Core Team members and a time-line detailing the Core Team activities. This Station was manned by a Core Team member.

The four individual School Stations offered copies of the Parent Survey Summary for each individual study school, a draft of the Action Plan for that particular school, a 3-foot by 4-foot color depiction of the existing conditions at each school and a 3-foot by 4-foot color display of the Recommended Improvements for each school (supplied by through the Engineering Study). Each School Station was manned by that school’s principal to provide program overviews and detailed explanations, with other Core Team members offering support in addressing questions.

The Comment Station provided attendees the opportunity to comment and provide feedback on any or all of the individual schools through a survey questionnaire.

All printed items mentioned above are included as attachments in Section 12.

Existing Policies and Programs In addition to the public engagement activities, the following existing programs and policies are in place and will continue as the program moves forward to maintain open dialogue, support, encouragement, education, and evaluation of overall the Plan:

School Wellness Policy The Riverside Local School District is committed to a comprehensive program that encourages the health and wellbeing of all students within the school district. Recognizing that good nutrition and regular physical activity has a positive effect on the health and wellbeing of students, the Riverside Local School District has established a wellness policy to ensure the responsibility of supporting student health is not only placed on the schools, but also on the parents and the community-at-large through promoting, supporting, and modeling healthy behaviors and habits. A complete copy of the Riverside Local School District Wellness Policy can be found as an attachment in Section 12.

Existing School and Community Health, Wellness, and Safety Events In support of healthy and active lifestyles, the School District routinely holds school and community wellness events. Events are held in school facilities and are directly related to the School Wellness Policy. In addition to the community events, additional school specific initiatives are also present at several of the schools addressed by the Plan. The following lists the existing school and community wellness initiatives:

Section 4: Description of Schools

Painesville Township is home to the four Elementary Schools (addressed by the Plan) which are a part of the Riverside Local School District. The Riverside Local School District has one high school campus, two middle schools and a total of six elementary schools. The scope of the Plan addresses the bicycle and pedestrian improvements for four of those elementary schools: Hale Road Elementary, Clyde C. Hadden Elementary, Buckeye Elementary, and Madison Avenue Elementary. Each elementary school serves students from kindergarten through grade five. All have latch-key programs, and Hale Road Elementary and Buckeye Elementary also serves pre-school students.

The following tables summarize the student counts for each of the four study schools. Student counts by grade are summarized by school for students living within a 1-mile radius of each school, between 1 and 2 mile radius for each school and outside a 2-mile radius from each school. Pre-school counts were included for enrollment information.

The following table (page 9) lists the location information of each elementary school. The enrollment number indicates the actual existing (Year 2009-2010) attendance including pre-school and kindergarten students.

*Actual enrollment includes preschool, kindergarten through grade five students.

Hale Road Elementary Hale Road Elementary School is located at 56 Hale Road, at the corner of Lee Road, in Painesville Township and provides educational service to 467 students. The primary access for auto traffic and to the school’s general/visitor parking lot is from Lee Road, while buses enter from Lee and exit onto Hale. Teacher parking and bike racks are accessed from a second drive immediately east of the bus exit on Hale Road. No direct connections for walkers or bikers (sidewalks or paths) connect to the school entrances from Hale Road or Lee Road. Students who walk or bike to school currently cut through unpaved grassy areas to cross school property and enter the school building.

Approximately 33% of the students who attend Hale Road Elementary live within a one-mile walking boundary of the school and nearly 91% live within the school’s two-mile biking boundary.

Madison Avenue Elementary School Madison Avenue Elementary is located at 845 Madison Avenue and provides educational service to 418 students. The primary access for all vehicles, buses and bikes is through a two lane one-way loop entrance drive. General/visitor parking is located in a lot accessed from the inside of this loop with additional parking for teachers accessed from the loop and located to the west-rear of the building. Pedestrian access is via sidewalks on the inside of the loop and currently requires that students cross the entrance or exit to the general parking and then again cross the main drive for buses and autos to gain access to the main school entrance. The driveway and parking lot areas of the school are very congested at arrival and dismissal times due to the amount of auto, bus, pedestrian, and bike traffic converging at the front entrance of the school. Students routinely opt to walk in the grassy areas on the outside of the main drive rather than utilize the existing sidewalks.

Hale Road Elementary

Madison Avenue Elementary

10

Nearly 62% of the students who attend Madison Avenue Elementary School live within a one-mile walking boundary, and approximately 94% of the students live within the school’s two-mile biking boundary.

Buckeye Elementary School Buckeye Elementary is located at 175 Buckeye Road in Painesville Township at the intersection of Mardon Drive, and provides educational service to 513 students. The main access to the school is a one-lane one-way loop entrance drive providing direct access for auto and buses to the school’s main entrance. General/visitor parking is located via spaces located along the inside of this loop. A secondary two-way drive exists to the west of the main drive exit and provides access to an additional parking lot that runs from Buckeye Road to the rear of the school. Staff parking is located at the north end of the lot, adjacent to the school building. However, student auto riders are generally dropped off and picked up from the lot closest to Buckeye Road.

Sidewalks connect from Buckeye Road to the main entrance around the outside of the loop. The driveway and parking lot areas are congested at arrival and dismissal times due to the concentration of traffic at the main drive and in the side parking lot. While sidewalks exists along the outside of the main lot, students who walk or bike routinely bypass these congested areas and walk along the western edge of the parking lot to access the sidewalks on Buckeye Road. The area around the school experiences an increase in traffic during arrival and dismissal times. This is likely a result of traffic diverting onto Buckeye Road and Mardon Drive as this route serve as a direct connection between State Route 20 and State Route 84.

Approximately 32% of the students live within a one-mile walking boundary of the school and approximately 55% of the students live within the school’s two-mile biking boundary.

Clyde C. Hadden Elementary Clyde C. Hadden Elementary School is located at 1800 Mentor Avenue in Painesville Township and provides educational service to 278 students. The primary access for all vehicles, buses, and bikes is through a two-lane one-way loop entrance drive. Teacher parking is accessed from the loop and located to the eastside toward the rear of the building. Additional teacher and general/visitor parking is also accessed from the loop and located at the west side to the rear of the building. Sidewalks connect from Mentor Avenue along the inside of the drive and are generally utilized by students that walk or bike. The driveway is heavily congested at arrival and dismissal due to the need for both autos and buses to drop and pickup students from this drive area. Autos often bypass stopped buses at the entrance of school to exit the property rather than wait until the buses have completed unloading or pick-up. A well monitored crosswalk at the southwest corner of the school provides crossing for walking or biking students to access the sidewalk connection to Mentor Avenue. Parents often utilize the parking lot of the adjacent business to the west as a waiting area for students that are driven to and from school. Mentor Avenue is a major dividing point within the community served by Hadden Elementary and the high volume and speed of traffic on

Buckeye Elementary

Clyde C. Hadden Elementary

11

Mentor Avenue often can be a major deterrent to children crossing the busy roadway. Approximately 56% of students live within one-mile walking radius from the school and 65% of the students are live within two-miles of the campus.

Section 5: School Demographics Painesville Township is located within Lake County in the northeastern Ohio region. The demographic information for students attending each of the schools addressed in this plan is provided in the table below. The state averages have been provided for comparative purposes.

Section 6: Current School Travel Environment

Current Transportation Mode Statistics

The Student Travel Tally reports from each school were conducted during May 2010. The information (tallied for each of the four elementary schools) is summarized below. Based on the responses, the majority of the students ride school bus to and from school. There are very few that ride bicycles and a few that walk. Overall students are more likely to walk home from the school in the afternoon than walk to school in the morning, and biking remained relatively unchanged between the morning and afternoon trips.

Parent Survey Summary

The SRTS Team, in partnership with the Riverside Local School District and the Painesville Township Administration, undertook a comprehensive survey (May 2010) of the parents whose children attend Hale Road Elementary, Clyde C. Hadden Elementary, Buckeye Elementary or Madison Avenue Elementary. (See Section 12 for the complete Parent Survey Summary for each school.)


There were 428 questionnaires distributed to the parents and the summary is based on 171 valid return entries. Per the survey results, at least 70% of the parents who returned surveys think walking or biking is healthy for their children, yet walking and biking are underutilized modes of transportation to and from school. As illustrated in the two figures that follow, while parent surveys indicate that 66% of parents believe their children live within 2-miles of the school, the majority of students use school transportation to and from school with family vehicles being the second most common mode of travel. Less than 1% Hale Road Elementary students were reported to walk or bike to (or from) school, and only 8% having requested permission to walk or bike to school.

13

Parents most frequently indicated they choose bus or personal vehicle transportation due to school distance, limited sidewalk areas, narrow roadways, heavy traffic and rate of speed near and around the school. The table below indicates that distance to the school is one of the primary concerns for parents when considering whether to let their children walk or bike to school. Another primary factor influencing parents’ decisions is the absence of sidewalks or bike routes. Parents report limited sidewalk available for use within the community. Additionally, side streets have limited marked crosswalks and no crossing guards. With a low percentage of walking students, the school does not provide crossing guards. Multiple parent comments indicated that safety is a major concern, with regard to traffic speed and volume, intersections, and the presence of dangerous people possibly living within close proximity to the school.


There were 272 parent surveys distributed and the summary is based on 120 valid returned entries. Per the survey results, at least 80% of the parents believe walking or biking is healthy for their children, and at least 30% of the total students have asked for permission to walk or bike to school. Yet, while 44% of parents surveyed believe their children live within 2 miles of the school, the majority of students use school transportation, with family vehicles being the second most common transportation mode. Only 8-10% of students were reported as typically walking or biking to school.

14

As illustrated below, when surveyed, parents reported a large variety of reasons as to why they choose busing or personal vehicle transportation for their children. The highest reported concerns are related to distance, intersection safety, and civil infrastructure needs (sidewalks and crosswalks). However in addition, the amount of traffic along the route, the rate of speed, the weather, and personal safety also rank high. Parent comments indicated concerns over the safety of street/intersection crossings, distance to the schools, and sidewalk issues when allowing their children to walk or bike to school, and noted numerous comments expressing concern over the traffic volumes and speed on Mentor Avenue.

15

Buckeye Elementary

A total of 428 surveys were distributed to parent and the summary was based on 151 valid return entries. Per the survey results, at least 72% of the parents believe it is healthy for their children to walk/bike to/from school, and nearly 20% of the students have asked permission to do so. Yet, as illustrated below, while 44% of parents surveyed believe their children live within 2 miles of the school, the majority of students use school transportation to and from school with family vehicles being the second most common mode of transportation. Less than 2 percent of students were reported as typically walking or biking.

As illustrated on the following page, the primary factor that influences a parent’s decision in allowing their children to walk or bike to school is the weather. However, distance to the school, safety, traffic speed and civil infrastructure needs (sidewalks and crosswalks) also ranked high among factors that influence their decision in allowing their children to walk or bike. Survey comments mention narrow roadways, limited sidewalks, and lack of crossing guards. However, a predominant theme seems to be that parents simply believe they live too far from the school for walking or biking to be a reasonably safe choice of travel.

16


A total of 393 surveys were distributed to parents and the summary was based on 180 valid return entries. Per the survey results, at least 75% of the parents believe walking or biking to school is healthy for their children, and at least 32% of the students have asked for permission to do so. Yet, among the 142 of parents surveyed who believe their children live within 2 miles of the school, there are only 5% of children who typically walk or bike to school. The predominant mode of travel at Madison Avenue Elementary is school provided with the family vehicle as the second most common.

17

As illustrated below, the primary issues in allowing children to walk/bike to school are the weather, the distance to the school, traffic speed, and traffic volume. However personal safety, civil infrastructure needs (sidewalks and crosswalks), convenience of driving, time and participation in after-school activities also ranked high among factors that influence decisions in allowing children to walk or bike to school. Survey comments mentioned distance, safety, high traffic volumes and lack of complete sidewalks as factors inhibiting their children from walking or biking to school.

Transportation Policies

A copy of the Riverside Local School District Transportation Policies that impact the four elementary schools in this study are included in Section 12.

Elementary School Bus Policy

The Riverside Local School District provides courtesy school busing for most all students. Riding a school bus is considered a privilege and students must observe all safety rules. The school district does not provide bus transportation services to the students living within a ½ -mile radius from the school with the following exceptions:

Transportation provides pick-ups/drop-offs for mid-day Kindergarten students (AM or PM) depending the specific school building – regardless of distance.

Many students walk or are dropped off at a consolidated bus stop near their home and outside the walking area.

Bicycle policy

Students in grades 3 to 5 living near the school may be given special permission to ride bicycles to and from school. Safety locks are recommended, and the school is not responsible for bicycle theft or vandalism. If a student desires to ride a bike to school, written parental permission must be submitted to the school office in advance.

School Arrival/Dismissal Procedures


Arrival - School buses typically drop students from the two lanes in front of the school on the east side of the island (closest to the building). Students exit the buses at designated areas where their teachers collect them. Parents who drive their children to school use the single lane on the west side of the island and all the vehicles exit through the single exit onto Hale

18

Road. Students who bike to the school use the playground entrance to get to the building. Walkers use either the west entrance or the main entrance to the building.

Dismissal - All school bus riders (Grade 3 and above) are dismissed at 3:00 pm through the main entrance doorway. Grade 2 and under are dismissed at 3:05 pm using the inside corner (west end) doorway. Walkers/bikers, latch keys participants and private car riders are dismissed at 2:55 pm. Parents are asked to sign-out their children and walk with them to their cars in the parking lot. All vehicles enter through the drive on Lee Road. Buses exit through the main exit onto Hale Road and autos exit onto Lee Road. Bikers use the playground exit on the eastside of the building and walkers use the doorway on the west side of the building.


Arrival - The school bus drops off students from the one-lane closest to the school building at the two front entrance doorways. Parents who drive their children use the single lane between a parking area to drop off their children. All students use the front entrance doorways. Buses and cars all enter and exit through the main access off of Madison Avenue. Bikers and the majority of walkers enter through the grass area (east) that is adjacent to the playground and near bike racks, and then enter the building through the main doorway.

Dismissal - At 3:25 pm, students whose parents pick them up are released to the gym, were the parents them sign-out. At 3:30 pm, bus riders, bikers and walkers are dismissed through the east side entrance/exit of the building.

Buckeye Elementary

Arrival - School buses enter through the main drive entrance off of Buckeye Road and drop students via the one lane closest to the building’s front entrance doorway. Private cars enter through the parking lot driveway and drop-off students near the dumpsters and parking spaces. Cars often turn around and exit through the parking lot drive. Walkers and bikers often enter the school property across the grass area to the west side of the school.

Dismissal - At 3:15 pm, latch key children and private vehicle riders are dismissed. Parents sign-out and collect their children in the cafeteria, and exit to the west side parking area. School buses pickup students at the front entrance and travel through the loop in front of the school building. Walkers and bikers are dismissed through the single entrance/exit at 3:20 pm.


Arrival - School buses and private cars drop children off at the front entranceway. Students who eat breakfast enter the building at 8:10 a.m., while bus riders, walkers, bikers, and any students being dropped off enter the building at 8:20 a.m.

Dismissal - At the school’s first bell (2:54pm) the latchkey children and parent-pickup students are dismissed to the gym. Parents sign-out their children and leave the school. At the School’s second bell (2:56 pm) all bus riders, walkers and bikers are dismissed. The bus riders board at the front doors, and the buses are not released until the school is all clear and all latchkey children are signed in. Handicapped students use the northeast exit with an ADA ramp. Students who walked/biked to school exit through the west doorways. There are two crossing guards, one at the crosswalk in front of the school (to assist in crossing the driveway area) and one to assist with crossing Mentor Avenue to Fairfield Road.

Sections 7 through 9

The following information in Sections 7 through 9 was gathered from the report provided by the consulting firm CH2MHill that was assigned by the Ohio Department of Transportation for this project. Representatives from CH2MHill worked in concert with the SRTS Core Team in identifying deterrents and barriers to active transportation, in developing possible solutions and provided mapping of recommend improvements. The complete CH2MHill Safe Routes to School Engineering Study in included in Section 12.

Section 7: Barriers to Active Transportation

A total of thirty-one (31) pedestrian and bicycle accidents were reported within the vicinity the four elementary schools during the three-year time period of 2005 – 2007:

- Buckeye Elementary School – three pedestrian and three bicycle accidents

- Clyde C. Hadden School – two pedestrian and bicycle accidents

- Hale Road Elementary School – four pedestrian bicycle accidents

- Madison Avenue Elementary School – nineteen pedestrian and bicycle accidents

Buckeye Elementary School

The following deficiencies currently exist at this school location:

Sidewalk/Pathway – The existing sidewalk along Buckeye Road is narrow and in need of repair. Sidewalks running along the west edge of school property are missing, and walkway routes within the school’s parking area are not marked.

Crosswalk and School Zone Pavement Markings – The existing crosswalk at the school zone has faded and there are no existing crosswalks at Buckeye Road, Coleridge Road, Fairgrounds Road, Larchwood Drive, Linden Drive and Hawthorn Drive. The crosswalks across the school entrance/exit ways are redundant.

School Zone Signage and Traffic Control – The school zone warning signs are small and no easily noticed on Buckeye Road and on Mardon Drive. Traffic circulation signage is lacking within the school travel area.

Infrastructure and other - Current bike racks are old and in need of replacement, and their location is in a highly congested area. Trees and bushes encroach over the existing sidewalks west of the school property.

Clyde C Hadden Elementary School


Sidewalk/Pathway – The existing sidewalk spanning the front of school is not wide enough to accommodate both pedestrians and bikers at the same time. The existing sidewalks

21

adjacent to the east and west sides of the school are in need of repair, and a sidewalk connection between the parking areas and school is missing. A connection from Everett Road to the school is non-existent. Sections of sidewalk are missing along Nye Road, and sidewalks do not currently exist along nearby residential streets.

Crosswalk and School Zone Pavement Markings – The school zone pavement markings on Mentor Avenue are faded, and pavement marking within the school’s drive area are missing.

School Zone Signage and Traffic Control – The Mentor Avenue school zone and crosswalk signs addressing westbound traffic need to be relocated. The visibility of the school’s speed limit signage is limited.

Infrastructure and other – Current bike racks are old and in need of repair and securing. The ADA ramps to the school building are old and need repair.

Hale Road Elementary School


Sidewalk/Pathway – Parts of the existing sidewalks along Hale Road are missing, and there are no sidewalks connecting Hale Road to the school area. The Lee Road is narrow with a limited shoulder area that is restrictive to walking/biking.

Crosswalk and School Zone Pavement Markings – The existing crosswalk on Hale Road is faded. The existing crosswalk at Base Drive needs to be relocated. There are no crosswalks at Hale Road and Sivon Drive or Hale Road and Park Road. There are no crosswalks at the school’s entrance/exit drives.

School Zone Signage and Traffic Control – There is insufficient school zone warning signs on North Ridge Road. There is no school zoning warning signage on Lee Road. The existing school entrance off Lee Road is not well marked.

Infrastructure and other – There are no bike racks. The ADA ramp is old and needs repair. The Hale Road and Park Road intersection is very dangerous to pedestrians and bikers.



Sidewalk/Pathway – There is no existing sidewalk/pathway within the internal school drive area. There is no existing sidewalk connecting the school building and Madison Avenue. The existing sidewalks along Madison Avenue are disconnected and need repair.

Crosswalk and School Zone Pavement Markings – Crosswalks are missing at Madison Avenue. The existing pavement markings have faded.

School Zone Signage and Traffic Control – The existing crosswalk and school zone signs are not easily visible. The end school zone signs are missing. Internal school travel control is not well marked.

22

Infrastructure and other – The existing bike racks are old and in need of repair and securing. Internal travel within the school’s driveway and parking area is very confusing and hard to control. ADA ramp is old and narrow.

Section 8: Creating Solutions

As the primary goals of the SRTS Core Team are: (1) Educating students on the safety and value of utilizing active transportation to and from school; and (2) Encouraging students to walk and/or bike to and from school via clearly defined routes allowing for their safe and healthy travel, the School Travel Plan will utilize the five E’s (Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Encouragement and Evaluation) to accomplish these goals.

Engineering

Physical changes and improvements to the walking and bicycling infrastructure.


Short Term Recommendations

Bicycle Racks: Installation of the recommended Safe Routes to School program bicycle racks.

Bicycle Helmet Lockers: As students are encouraged to wear helmets while biking to school, a safe manner for helmet storage is necessary.

Trim trees and bushes: Removal obstacles that encroach over existing sidewalk areas.

Pavement Marking: Distinguish the route of travel within the drive and parking areas, and re-paint the existing crosswalks.

Mid-Term Recommendations

Sidewalk Installation: Install a sidewalk along the west side of the school property. Install missing sections and repair sections along Buckeye Road

Pavement Marking: Add crosswalk at Buckeye Road, Coleridge Road, Fairgrounds Road, Larchwood Drive, Linden Drive and Hawthorn Drive.

Upgrade School Flashers: Install overhead mounted school flashers with fiber optics or LED school zone signs for improved visibility.

Long-Term Recommendations

Sidewalk Installation: Install sidewalks along Coleridge Road, Larchwood Drive, Linden Drive and Hawthorn Drive.

SRTS Meeting Summary

Meeting opened at 2:00 pm All Members of the Core Team present – with the exception of Mr.

Vince Urbanski of the Lake Metroparks as he was out of town (Sign-in Sheet Attached).

All Agenda Items were brought forth and discussed in detail – which accounted for the bulk of the meeting time (Agenda Attached).

One major suggestion brought forth by the Team involved our seeking a graduate student to provide the technical writing service as a graduate project – the only drawback would be that the our STP would be on hold until the fall of 2010 to secure such a student.

Mike Vaccariello offered his assistance in securing a printer for the Tally and Survey Sheets.

All necessary signature were obtained on the STP Scope Application sheet in preparation for April 2, 2010 submission.

Appendix B – Stakeholder Surveys

Appendix C – Parent Survey Report Summary

April 19, 2010 Dear Parent/Guardian, The Riverside Local School District and the Painesville Township Administration are partnering on a project that we hope will be very exciting for the families attending Hale Road Elementary, Clyde C. Hadden Elementary, Buckeye Elementary and Madison Avenue Elementary. The Township has received a Safe Routes to School grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation to study how our children travel to school and to determine what improvements we can make to ensure their safety when walking and biking to school. In order to get started, we need your help. Attached is a parent survey with questions regarding how your child/children travel to and from school. The survey only takes 5-10 minutes to complete but will provide us with a wealth of information. Each family will only need to complete one survey. Please take a few minutes to complete the form and return it to your child’s teacher by Friday, May 21, 2010. All of the children in the families that return the survey will receive an entry ticket for the bike and helmet raffle. Once we have processed the data, we will begin working on a travel plan that may incorporate improvements such as sidewalks, painted crosswalks, upgraded signs and school flashers, bike racks, education and enforcement programs just to name a few. It should be noted that this is a community driven project and your input is important. We will be hosting public meetings to get support from the entire community. Look for more information to be sent home in the near future. Thank you in advance for your support of what we hope will be an exciting project with the potential to change the way that our children travel to and from school. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the people listed below. You may also find information regarding the Safe Routes to School program at www.saferoutesinfo.org. Sincerely, Mr. James Kalis Mr. Lee Bodnar (Principal’s Name) Riverside Superintendent Painesville Twp.

SurveyID Comment

402693 I WILL NOT HAVE MY CHILD BIKE OR WALK ACROSS 20 I WOULD DRIVE THEM FIRST.

402694 QUESTION #9 - IF WE LIVED CLOSER THOUGH

402696 BUSING IS IMPERATIVE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. MY KIDS WOULD NEED TO WALK/BIKE RIDEON ROADS THAT HAVE NO SIDEWALKS WITH A SPEED OF 40+ MPH. QUESTION #13 - THEY RIDE THE BUS.

402698 I WISH THE TOWNSHIP HAD SIDEWALKS OR BIKE PATHS. QUESTION #12 - NO SIDEWALKS OR BIKE PATH

402700 THOUGH WE LIVE RATHER CLOSE TO SCHOOL SHE ATTENDS DAYCARE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOLTHEREFORE IS UNABLE TO WALK TO SCHOOL.

402705 EVEN IF WE LIVED CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL THERE IS NO WAY MY CHILD WOULD CROSS RT 20 PLUS THESAFETY W/ PREDATORS AND WEIRDOS IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN!

402709 IF SCHOOL HAS A CERTAIN SYSTEM LIKE PUTTING WALKING OR BIKING GUARD EACH CORNER OFSTREETS. I WOULD CONSIDER TO THINK ABOUT LETTING MY CHILDREN WALKING OR BIKING TO THESCHOOL.

402711 I WALKED TO SCHOOL IN ELEMENTARY I ENJOYED IT

402712 PAINESVILLE SEEMS TO BE PEDESTRIAN-UNFRIENDLY (NO SIDEWALKS).

402713 THERE ARE RAILROAD TRACKS. THESE MAKE ME VERY NERVOUS.

402716 MY SON DID WALK AT HIS PREVIOUS SCHOOL. THE DISTANCE NOW FROM THE SCHOOL PREVENTS HIMFROM WALKING

402719 BACON ROAD IS VERY BUSY & NO SIDEWALKS SAME WITH ROUTE 20.

402723 STILL TO YOUNG TO STAY BY HERSELF WOULD LIKE TO SEE HER RIDE HER BIKE MAYBE IN 4TH GRADEAND ON MONDAY PARENT DO NOT GET HOME UNTIL AFTER 4 OR SOMETIMES 5:30. QUESTION #9 - MAYBE4TH OR 5TH

402724 THE SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT ARE VERY FAR. I WALKED TO SCHOOL WHEN I WAS A CHILD BUT IT ISIMPOSSIBLE FOR MY KIDS TO. WE NEED MORE SCHOOLS FIRST!

402727 I DON'T WANT MY DAUGHTER WALKING OR RIDING BIKE TO SCHOOL ALONE. I WANT HER TO BE SAFE!

402728 WE DO NOT LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HALE ROAD FOR MY CHILD TO WALK THERE. BIKING IS TOODANGEROUS - TO CROSS RT. 20.

402733 BACON ROAD IS THE ONLY WAY TO HALE ROAD ELEM FROM OUR HOUSE. IT HAS NO SIDEWALKS ANDTHE SPEED LIMIT IS 50 MPH. I WOULD NOT LET MY CHILDREN WALK THE 1.5 MILES TO SCHOOL. (PLUSTHEY WOULD HAVE TO CROSS ROUTE 20)

402734 I'M SURE MY DAUGHTER WOULD LIKE TO RIDE HER BIKE TO SCHOOL BUT I WOULD WORRY TOO MUCHABOUT HER SAFETY.

402738 IN THE TIMES WE LIVE IN AND WHERE WE ARE IN RELATION TO THE SCHOOL I WOULD NEVER ALLOW MYCHILD TO WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKE TO SCHOOL.

402739 OUR SCHOOL IS NOT REALLY SET UP FOR APPROPRIATE BIKING TO SCHOOL - EVEN THOSE THAT LIVECLOSE BY. QUESTION #12 - IF YOU LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH YOU HAVE TO WALK! MY KINDERGARTNER WASFORCED TO WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL & I DID NOT LIKE IT!

402741 WE ARE JUST TOO FAR AWAY TO EVEN CONSIDER THIS. QUESTION #9 - TOO FAR!

402745 I CAN'T LET MY CHILD WALK TO SCHOOL B/C THERE IS NO USABLE SIDEWALK GOING UP OR DOWNBACON ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD NOT TAKE THE RISK FOR THEIR SAFETY!

402749 THERE ARE MANY REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS IN THE AREA IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY CHILD TO WALKTO SCHOOL IN PAINESVILLE TWP. ALSO THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS IN OUR AREA.

402752 QUESTION #13 - IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I IDENTIFIED SAFETY AS AN ISSUE. QUESTION #14 - ITDOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I IDENTIFIED SAFETY AS AN ISSUE.

Page 11 of 13

402753 QUESTION #9 - DON'T LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH

402754 I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO WALK OR RIDE TO SCHOOL / WE WOULD WIND TO A PRIVATESCHOOL IF NEED BE.

402761 WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL SO THIS IS KIND OF IRRELEVANT. THE WALK DOWN BACON RDWITH NO SIDEWALKS MAKES IT ALSO A POOR CHOICE.

402765 THERE ARE SEX OFFENDERS THAT WORK BY THE SCHOOL. ALSO THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OFFENDERSTHAT LIVE W/IN 1 MILE OF THE SCHOOL & MORE THAT LIVE W/IN 1 MILE OF MY HOUSE

402770 MY CHILD AS ANY CHILD WOULD LOVE IT BUT I SAY NO WAY. NOT WHERE WE LIVE NO.

402771 TO ME WHERE I LIVE IT IS NOT VERY SAFE FOR MY CHILD TO BIKE. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE SUREMY CHILD GOT TO SCHOOL SAFELY OR HOME SAFELY.

402776 WE WOULD HAVE MORE WALKERS IF WE HAD SIDEWALKS.

402780 THIS WORLD IS A LOT SCARIER THAN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. MY CHILDREN WILL NEVER WALK OR BIKETO SCHOOL.

402782 RT 20 IS TO DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE TO CROSS LET ALONE A CHILD.

402784 I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY IF MY CHILD COULD SAFELY WALK TO OR RIDE BIKE TO SCHOOL.

402785 QUESTION #13 & #14 - IF THEY WALKED/BIKED

402791 THIS SURVEY REALLY DOES NOT PERTAIN TO US

402800 BASED ON THE ROADS & DISTANCE IT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL TO LET ANY CHILD WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL.

402804 MY CHILD DOES OPEN ENROLLMENT SO THE DISTANCE IS A MAJOR FACTOR BUT I FEEL SAFETY SHOULDBE THE UPMOST IMPORTANCE WHEN EXPECTING PRIMARY CHILDREN TO WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL.

402805 HAVING CROSSING GUARDS STATIONED ALONG THE CHILDREN'S ROUTE TO SCHOOL WOULD STRONGLYINFLUENCE MY DECISION TO ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK TO & FROM SCHOOL.

402815 I DONT THINK ITS A GOOD IDEA FOR CHILDREN TO RIDE/WALK TO SCHOOL. MY CHILD WOULD HAVE TORIDE HIS BIKE ON 2 VERY DANGEROUS ROADS. WORKING IN THE EMERGENCY DEPT I SEE ACCIDENTSALL THE TIME THAT CHANGES LIVES. I DO THINK QUESTION 13 & 14 SHOULDN'T BE ON HERE. WHATCHILD WOULDN'T THINK ITS FUN TO RIDE THEIR BIKE? AND THE HEALTHY ISSUE ON GETTING EXERCISE.WHO WOULDN'T KNOW THAT. HOWEVER I DON'T THINK ITS SAFE AND SAFETY IS MOST IMPORTANT FOROUR CHILDREN. QUESTION #6 - DRIVER (FAMILY FRIEND)

402816 WE LIVE MORE THAN 5 MILES AWAY FROM HALE ROAD. I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH HIMBIKING/WALKING TO/FROM SCHOOL.

402817 SINCE WE LIVE SO CLOSE TO HALE ROAD I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS RATHER STRANGE THAT THE BUSWOULD COME AND PICK-UP KIDS SO CLOSE TO SCHOOL INSTEAD OF WALKING I WENT TO HALE ROAD & IHAD TO WALK TO AND FROM SCHOOL.

402819 QUESTION #9 - B/C NO SIDEWALKS

402823 THIS IS A RIDICULOUS PROPOSAL! THERE ARE TOO MANY SOCIETAL SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ME TOEVER CONSIDER THIS WALKING TO SCHOOL. DO A STUDY ON SOMETHING WORTHWHILE!

402825 IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY CHILD TO WALK OR BIKE AT ANY TIME ANY MORE DUE TO SEXUAL OFFENDERSLIVING TO CLOSE TO SCHOOL. QUESTION #6 - PICK-UP

402838 WE LIVE LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM SCHOOL. I DRIVE TO ENSURE ALL OF MY CHILDRENS' SAFETY.BULLYING ON THE BUS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WALKING IS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE IF BUSY STREETS &INTERSECTIONS AND OTHER ISSUES (STRANGERS) THAT MAY HARM MY CHILDREN.

402839 I THINK SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR MANY REASON'S SUCH AS WORKINGPARENTS AND SAFETY. RIDICULOUS SURVEY!

402843 MY CHILD GOES TO MORNING & AFTERSCHOOL LATCH KEY DUE TO MY JOB.

402844 NO SIDEWALKS/TO CLOSE TO RT 20.

Page 12 of 13

402846 WALKING IN THIS AREA ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. 4 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED WALKING/BIKING 2BY DRUNK DRIVERS. NO STREET LIGHTS NO SIDEWALKS HIGH GRASS OPEN FIELDS NO SLOW TRAFFICON BACON RD

402847 ELIMINATE ALL PREDATORS FIRST - THEN SEND THIS SURVEY OUT AGAIN.

402848 THE ROADS BY OUR HOUSE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS & WE ARE BY A BUSY INTERSECTION. RIDING A BIKETO SCHOOL IS NOT AN OPTION

402857 HALE ROAD SCHOOL IS VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE. HOWEVER I FEEL CHILDREN IN 5TH GRADE ANDBELOW ARE TO YOUNG TO WALK TO SCHOOL. THE MIDDLE AND UPPER SCHOOLS THAT MY CHILDRENWILL ATTEND ARE MUCH TO FAR TO WALK OR BIKE.

402858 WHY IS MY LEVEL OF EDUCATION RELEVANT?

402859 NO PARENT SHOULD LET THEIR CHILD WALK OR BIKE IF NOT CLOSE TO SCHOOLS I DON'T LIVE CLOSEENOUGH TO ANY SCHOOLS FOR MY CHILD TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE. IF I DID I MIGHT CONSIDER WALKINGOR RIDING BIKE. BUT TO ME IF YOU DON'T LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH OR WHERE THERE ARE NO PATHS ORSIDEWALKS I WOULD NOT ALLOW MINE TO RIDE BIKE OR WALK

SurveyID Comment

402570 I WOULD ALLOW MY CHILD TO BIKE TO OR FROM SCHOOL BEFORE ALLOWING TO WALK SIMPLY BECAUSEIT'S FASTER. I WOULD ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO WALK OR BIKE W/HER OLDER SIBLING REGARDLESS OFHER AGE. QUESTION #10 - CROSSING GUARDS-NECESSARY OR FORGET WALKING

402578 JACKSON STREET IS A DANGEROUS STREET AND NO CHILD SHOULD WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKES TOSCHOOL. PEOPLE DRIVE WAY WAY TOO FAST!!! QUESTION #13 - WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITHSAFETY? QUESTION #14 - WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SAFETY?

402581 MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MS WALKER THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RIDE THEIR BIKES UNTIL3RD GRADE. QUESTION #12 - UNTIL 3RD GRADE

402582 I THINK THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE WALKING OR RIDING TO SCHOOL IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. ELEMENTARYCHILDREN ARE TO YOUNG. TOO MANY THINGS HAPPEN.

402588 MY CHILDREN LOVE TO RIDE BIKES BUT I WILL NEVER LET THEM CROSS A FOUR LANE ROAD ON FOOTOR WITH A BIKE. TO MUCH TRAFFIC

402600 NOT LIKELY THAT MY CHILD WILL WALK OR BIKE TO ELEMENTARY (TOO YOUNG & TOO FAR) AND THEMIDDLE SCHOOL IS DEFINITELY TOO FAR. QUESTION #9 - WITH A FRIEND - NOT ALONE!

402601 NEED TO PURSUE STATE FUNDING FOR SCHOOL CAPACITY ISSUES!

402602 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE CHILDREN WALKING AND RIDING; HOWEVER I THINK THE DANGERS OFOTHER CARS IS SCARY DURING RUSH HOURS IN THE MORNING. QUESTION #10 - VIOLENCE ANDCRIME-JUST SCARED SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN!

402605 MY MAIN CONCERNS ARE THE DISTANCE AND THE SICK PEOPLE OUT THERE LOOKING TO HARM CHILDFOR THEIR OWN SICK REASONS.

402615 Q14=NEUTRAL BECAUSE THE SCHOOL LOCATION IS NOT IN A PLACE CONDUCIVE FOR ELEMENTARYSCHOOL AGE CHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL. WALKING IS A HEALTHY ACTIVITY FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS.HOWEVER THE TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND RELATIVE SAFETY OF THE AREA AROUND HADDEN IS NOT AHEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUNG KIDS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE ALONE.

402616 WE ARE INTRA-DISTRICT. A BUS FROM HADDEN STOPS AT COLERIGE & MY CHILDREN AREN'T PERMITTEDTO RIDE. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

402620 MY CHILD LIVES WAY TO FAR AWAY FROM SCHOOL WITH TOO MANY STREETS TO CROSS AND TOO MUCHTRAFFIC FOR MY 7 YEAR OLD.

402622 QUESTION #10 - TOO FAR

402623 QUESTION #10 - DISTANCE-MOSTLY

402628 WE LIVE TO FAR TO WALK HOWEVER IF WE WERE CLOSE I WOULD NOT ALLOW IT.

402631 MY CHILD DOES WALK BUT WE WALK WITH HER. EVEN IF SHE WAS TO RIDE HER BIKE WE WOULD STILLWALK TO THE SCHOOL TO MEET HER. A LOT OF CRAZY PEOPLE OUT THERE. THERE ARE A LOT OFPEDOPHILES AROUND THIS AREA.

402636 I AM MORTIFIED THAT THIS ISSUE IS EVEN BEING CONSIDERED. IN MY OPINION NO CHILD SHOULD EVERWALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL DUE TO VIOLENT CRIME ISSUES. FURTHERMORE I THINK YOU CAN BETTERSERVE YOUR STUDENTS BY RESOLVING IMPORTANT ISSUES SUCH AS: FIXING OLDER SCHOOLBUILDINGS IMPLEMENTING FULL TIME KINDERGARTEN AND RAISING THE DISTRICTS EFFECTIVE RATINGTO EXCELLENT. QUESTION #11 - NEVER UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES

402637 PLEASE DON'T CUT THE BUSES TO AND FROM GRAND RIVER DUE TO YOUR INABILITY TO FUND THEM. ITIS EVIDENT THIS IS THE REASON FOR THIS SURVEY.

402638 WALKING AND RIDING A BIKE IS NOT OPTION BECAUSE WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL NOT TOMENTION TRAFFIC IS TO BUSY AND SHE WOULD HAVE TO CROSS 2 SETS OF TRAIN TRACKS.UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT REALISTIC IF SHOULD COULD WALK WE WOULD MAKE HER.

402639 IN THIS DAY AND AGE I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK OR BIKE BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS(VIOLENCE/CRIME)

Page 11 of 12

402643 IF WE LIVED CLOSE ENOUGH AND WE DIDN'T LIVE ON A BUSY STREET WITH A FAST SPEED LIMIT I WOULDALLOW MY CHILDREN TO WALK/BIKE.

402644 THE ROAD MY DAUGHTER WALKS TO SCHOOL ON HAS NEW SIDEWALKS AND IS A 25 MPH ZONEHOWEVER MOST DRIVERS DO NOT HONOR THAT SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE AN ADULT WALKWITH HER EVEN THROUGH 5TH GRADE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC IN OUR AREA.

402647 I HAVE LET MY CHILD WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES BUT I AM WITH HER. I JUST DON'T FEELCOMFORTABLE AT THAT AGE TO LET MY CHILD WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL ALONE.

402649 A MI HIJA LE ENCANTARIA IR EN BISICLETA A LA ESCUELA PERO YO TENGO PENDIENTE POR EL TRAFICOQUISAS PARA EL SIGUIENTE GRADO LO INTENTEMOS.

402651 THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS SURVEY!

402653 THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS ON GARFIELD AND IT IS BUSY BEFORE/AFTER SCHOOL. IF THERE WAS AWALKWAY/PATH BEHIND HADDEN MY CHILDREN WOULD BE ALLOWED TO WALK/BIKE TO & FROM SCHOOL.

402659 THE DRIVERS ON 20 DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO BIKES MY HUSBAND WAS HIT ON HIS BIKE & HE PAYSWAY MORE ATTENTION THAN A KID.

402664 I'M VERY EXCITED THAT YOU ARE WORKING TO FACILITATE/PROMOTE HEART HEALTHY GOOD HABITS &LESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MEETINGS & POSSIBLY GETTING INVOLVED.

402666 I STRONGLY PREFER ANY CHILD NOW GOES TO SCHOOL (GRADES PER SCHOOL TO 8TH) GETTRANSPORT BY A BUS

402667 MY CHILDREN LIVE IN THE GRAND RIVER AREA I DO NOT FEEL WALKING OR RIDING A BIKE WOULD BESAFE AT ANY AGE

402669 LACK OF SIDEWALKS SPEED CONTROL AND GENERAL SAFETY ARE HUGE CONCERNS. POLICEPRESENCE ONLY VISIBLE IN FRONT OF SCHOOL AT START OF DAY NOT IN SURROUNDINGNEIGHBORHOODS.

402674 I HAVE NO PROBLEM FOR MY SON TO RIDE HIS BIKE. BUT IF WE LIVED FURTHER AWAY I WOULDN'TALLOW HIM.

402675 MY SCHOOLING SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IN THIS QUESTIONARE

402676 MY SON WOULD LOVE TO RIDE A BIKE TO SCHOOL BUT WHERE WE LIVE HE DOESN'T HAVE SIDEWALKSTO TRAVEL ON & IT'S A LITTLE FAR BUT IF WE HAD SIDEWALKS & IT WAS LITTLE CLOSER I'D CONSIDER IT.QUESTION #10 - SIDEWALKS OR PATHWAYS-THERE ARE NONE

402684 NO ME GUSTARIA QUE MI HIJO CAMINARA O USARA BICICLETA DE/O A LA ESCUELA PORQUE SIEMPREHAY MINOS MAS GRANDES QUE PELEAN A LOS MAS PEQUENOS Y ALGUNAS VECES EL CLIMA ESTA MUYFEO Y POR ESO SE ENFERMAN MUY SEGUIDO

402686 WE LIVE TO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL WITH TRAIN TRACKS AND HIGHWAYS THAT WOULD PREVENT ANYPARENT FROM THIS NEIGHBORHOOD TO ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO WALK OR RIDE BIKES

402687 THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS IN MOST OF THE TOWNSHIP. I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH KIDSRIDING IN THE STREET.

402419 MY CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN ALLOWED TO WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL ONLY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVEA GROUP TO GO WITH.

402420 MY SON IS IN KINDERGARTEN SO IT IS HARD FOR ME TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE WHOLE SURVEY ASFAR AS THE WALKING & RIDING THING. FAIRGROUNDS RD IS VERY BUSY!

402423 WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL TO CONSIDER TRANSPORTATION OTHER THAN A CAR OR BUS.

402432 WE LIVE TO FAR TO SAFELY WALK/OR BIKE TO SCHOOL. - IN THIS DAY & AGE I WOULD NOT FEEL SAFEWITHOUT BUSSING OR DRIVING MY CHILD.

402434 I WOULD NOT ALLOW MY CHILD TO EVER WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL W/OUT AN ADULT. ALSO TOO MUCHTRAFFIC ON JACKSON ST. AND NO LIGHT AT MY INTERSECTION WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO WALK ORBIKE.

402438 I WOULD NEVER LET A CHILD WALK TO SCHOOL. WE DEPEND ON RESPONSIBLE ADULTS FORTRANSPORTATION. I WOULD NOT KNOW IF ANYTHING HAPPENED.

402440 THINK LESS ABOUT SIDEWALKS AND MORE ABOUT THE BUILDINGS! I THINK THIS IS A WAY TO STOPBUSING! QUESTION #13 - WE LIVE 5 MILES AWAY

402441 BUCKEYE ELEMENTARY IS TOO FAR FROM OUR HOUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE WALK TO SCHOOL.

402442 MY CHILD HAS CEREBRAL PALSY AND USES A POWER WHEELCHAIR AS HER PRIMARY FORM OFMOBILITY. SHE ATTENDS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF OUR AREA DUE TO ACCESSIBILITYISSUES.

402447 I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO WALK TO SCHOOL HOWEVER THE LOCATION OF OUR HOUSE INRELATION TO THE SCHOOL WOULD NEVER MAKE IT POSSIBLE!

402449 I REALIZE THIS MAY BE A POSSIBILITY IN THE GENERAL AREA OF EACH SCHOOL BUT THERE IS NO WAYMY CHILD COULD WALK OR RIDE.

402455 WE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY FOR THIS TO WORK OUT AS AN OPTION FOR MY KIDS AT ANY GRADE.

402456 IF DISTANCE CRIME (ABDUCTION) AND SAFETY OF ROADWAYS WERE NOT FACTORS IN OUR LIFE; THEN IWOULD ALLOW MY CHILD TO RIDE TO SCHOOL ON A BIKE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO WAY TOIMPROVE THESE FACTORS.

402461 WE LIVE TO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL TO WALK OR RIDE BIKES.

402462 WE ARE NEW TO THE AREA AND MY GRANDCHILD IS MUCH TO YOUNG TO WALK THAT DISTANCE TO ANDFROM SCHOOL WITHOUT OUR SUPERVISION.

402464 THE SIDEWALKS ARE HORRIBLE THE CITY NEVER CLEARS SNOW. WE NEED BIKE RACKS THAT ARE OUTOF THE PARKING LOT. THE SIDEWALKS NEED MARKINGS WE NEED GUARD AT CROSSINGS.

402465 WE NEED SIDEWALKS AND AN ENFORCED SPEED LIMITS.

402466 I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY CHILD WALKING ALONE IF THERE WAS A SIDEWALK.

402468 I WOULD NOT LET MY CHILD WALK OR RIDE HER BIKE TO SCHOOL TO MUCH CRIME NOWADAYS

402472 WE SIMPLY LIVE TOO FAR TO CONSIDER WALKING/CYCLING BUT WOULD LOVE TO IF WE LIVED CLOSER.

402477 WE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY FOR MY CHILDREN TO RIDE BIKES. THANKS

402478 MY CHILD HAS ODD & ADHD - HE IS TO EASILY DISTRACTED TO WALK BACK & FORTH TO SCHOOL

402480 AT THIS TIME I DON'T LET MY DAUGHTER WALK OR RIDE HER BIKE AROUND THE CORNER TO HERFRIEND'S HOUSE WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

402481 WOULD NOT FEEL THAT MY CHILD WOULD BE SAFE!!

402490 IF MY CHILD LIVED CLOSE ENOUGH TO SCHOOL TO WALK I WOULD PROBABLY LET HIM BUT FOR A LITTLEBIT FIRST GO WITH HIM.

Page 11 of 12

402492 I FOUND IT HARD TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY BECAUSE WE LIVE SO FAR FROM SCHOOL.

402496 EVEN THOUGH WE LIVE CLOSE TO THE SCHOOL I WOULDN'T LET MY CHILDREN WALK BECAUSE CARSAND BUSES DO NOT FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT!

402500 QUESTION #10 - CROSSING GUARDS-WE HAVE NONE

402512 I DON'T FEEL SAFE ALLOWING MY CHILD TO WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL DUE TO THE AMOUNT SEXOFFENDERS IN THE 5 MILE AREA

402515 IT WAS HARD TO GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS WE LIVE TOO FAR TO WALK OR BIKE

402523 IT IS TO FAR TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE. QUESTION #9 - WE LIVE TO FAR FROM SCHOOL

402525 I FEEL 45 MINUTES IS A VERY LONG TIME TO BE ON A BUS GOING AND LEAVING FROM SCHOOL.

402528 WE LIVE TO FAR FROM SCHOOL.

402530 TOO MUCH TRAFFIC BUSY ROADS & DISTANCE FOR BIKE/WALK TO SCHOOL. TOO YOUNG.

402532 THE RIDE HOME ON THE BUS IS WAY TOO LONG FOR MY DAUGHTER. WE LIVE 4 MINUTES AWAY AND ITTAKES 20-25 MINUTES FOR HER TO GET HOME. BAD SCHEDULE ROUTE PLAN FOR THAT BUS.

402533 IF WE LIVED CLOSER I WOULD ALLOW THEM TO WALK OR BIKE TOGETHER TO SCHOOL BUT WE DON'T SOPLEASE DON'T SAVE ON YOUR BUDGET BY CUTTING OUT THE BUSES! QUESTION #9 - FROM WHERE WELIVE.

402537 FAIRGROUNDS ROAD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION TO WIDEN LANES - MAKING TRAFFIC SPEED MORE -CHILD MAY OR MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO RIDE BIKE AFTER IT IS FINISHED BECAUSE OF TRAFFICCONCERNS.

402538 WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM THE SCHOOL SO WALKING OR BIKING IS NOT AN OPTION.

402539 DUE TO SCHOOL HOURS 8:40 VS. WORK HOURS 8:30 WE USE LATCHKEY EVERYDAY. AT THIS TIME I AMNOT COMFORTABLE WITH MY BOYS BEING HOME ALONE AFTER SCHOOL TIL I GET HOME. CROSSINGFAIRGROUND ROAD IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS.

402544 IF WE HAD A SAFE PATH FROM OUR DEVELOPMENT TO LAMUTH AND RIVERSIDE OUR KIDS WOULDENJOY BIKING TO SCHOOL.

402547 I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR MY CHILDREN TO WALK OR RIDE A BIKE TO SCHOOL. TOO MANY THINGSCAN HAPPEN AND IT ONLY TAKES ONE THING SEVERE AND THERE LIVES COULD BE TAKEN AWAY. I WILLDRIVE THEM IF NEED BE.

402549 I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE ALLOWING MY CHILD TO WALK TO SCHOOL DUE TO DISTANCE ANDPERSONAL SAFETY (ABDUCTION!!). I WOULD ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD ANDENSURE SAFETY.

402553 I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME 5TH GRADER'S AS CROSSING GUARDS FOR THE YOUNGERCHILDREN SIDE STREETS CAN BE DANGEROUS TO.

402558 I ALLOW MY CHILD TO BIKE TO SCHOOL ONLY IF SHE HAS SOMEONE TO GO WITH - NOT ALONE. ALSO IFIT'S RAINING SHE DOESN'T BECAUSE OF MUD PUDDLES IN SIDEWALKS - SHE ENDS UP A MESS. IN THEWINTER WE SOMETIMES WALK EXCEPT WHEN THERE IS SNOW BECAUSE THEY PLOW THE "SIDEWALKS"IN AND WE HAVE TO WALK IN THE ROAD.

402559 WE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL FOR THE KIDS TO WALK OR BIKE.

402560 WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM ELEM. MIDDLE JR HIGH & H.S. FOR MY KIDS TO WALK OR BIKE. QUESTION #9 -TOO FAR AWAY! QUESTION #10 - WE LIVE TOO FAR FROM SCHOOLS

402561 CURRENTLY MY CHILDREN ARE PICKED UP AND DROPPED OFF AT THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS ISEXCELLENT AND APPRECIATED VERY MUCH. IF MY CHILDREN WERE ASKED TO PICKED UP/DROPPED OFFAT OUR INTERSECTION THIS WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC SPEEDOF CARS TRAVELING & THE AMOUNT OF SNOW ON THE CORNER (PLOWING). ALL THESE FACTORSWOULD MAKE IT VERY UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN. ALSO THERE IS NO PLACE FOR THEM TO STAND OTHERTHAN THE STREET OR NEIGHBOR'S YARD.

402568 CURRENTLY THERE IS NO WAY MY CHILD COULD WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL DUE TO TRAFFIC FROM RT44. RT 44 HAS HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF AUTO ACCIDENTS.

402861 DISTANCE AFFECTS THE DECISION OF WALKING THE MOST.

402863 I WOULD NEVER FEEL COMFORTABLE SENDING MY THREE GIRLS OUT TO WALK TO SCHOOL. THEIRSAFETY SHOULD BE TOP PRIORITY. BULLYING BY OLDER CHILDREN AND PUTTING THEM IN SUCH AVULNERABLE POSITION DAILY WOULD BE VERY UPSETTING TO ME.

402865 QUESTION #9 - IF HE WAS NOT ALONE - HE CAN WITH OTHER STUDENTS

402867 SAD TO SAY... BUT I WILL NOT LET KIDS WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL FOR FEAR OF KIDNAPPING. OUR TOWN ISNOT A DANGEROUS TOWN BUT YOU CAN'T PREDICT THAT NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN.

402869 THE SIDEWALK ALONG OUR STREET ISN'T VERY SAFE. NEED SIDEWALKS CLEARED OF SNOW IN WINTER.

402874 INCREASE PARKING: WITH A NEW PARKING LOT. PARTICIPATE IN FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN: TOCOMPETE EQUALLY

402876 AT MY SON'S AGE I WOULD NOT LET HIM WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL ALONE. AT AN AGE WHEN I FEEL HEIS GOING TO BE SAFE I WOULD ENCOURAGE HIM TO GET THE EXERCISE.

402877 WITH A 1 MILE WALK/RIDE TO SCHOOL THERE IS ALOT OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY ESPECIALLY ALONGBOWHALL AND MADISON AVENUE. NO SIDEWALK AND HIGH TRAFFIC WITH NO GUARDS TOO MUCHOPPORTUNITY FOR KIDNAPPING.

402879 WE WOULD LET THE KIDS WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL IF THERE WERE SIDEWALKS - IT'S ALMOSTDANGEROUS NOW BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE MAKE-SHIFT SIDEWALKS ON THE WALK TO THESCHOOL.

402888 SIDEWALKS ALONG MADISON AVE WOULD PROVIDE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS ANDRESIDENTS TO NOT ONLY WALK TO SCHOOL BUT TAKE WALKS & BIKE RIDES TO FRIENDS HOMES IN ASAFE ENVIRONMENT.

402893 HOW IS QUESTION #15 RELEVANT TO THIS QUESTIONAIRE?

402894 HAVING SIDEWALKS WOULD GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO ALLOW MY CHILD TO WALK ON HIS OWN.CURRENTLY I HAVE TO TAKE HIM AS THERE IS NOT A CROSSING GUARD IN FRONT OF OUR HOME. HEWOULD HAVE TO CROSS 3 YARDS TO GET TO A GUARD.

402898 MY 1ST GRADER LOVES TO WALK HOME BUT DO TO THE TRAFFIC AND LENGTH OF THE WALK THE ONLYWAY WE ALLOW WALKING HOME IS WITH AN ADULT.

402899 MY CHILDREN DO NOT WALK OR BIKE TO SCHOOL SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS 13 & 14.

402900 MY CHILDREN LIVE ENTIRELY TOO FAR FROM SCHOOL TO WALK OR RIDE THEIR BIKES.

402901 BOWHALL HAS BECOME TOO BUSY! PEOPLE DO NOT OBIDE THE SPEED LIMIT. IF WE HAD SIDEWALKSAND MORE WE MAY CHANGE OUR OPINION. QUESTION #9 - CARS GO TOO FAST!

402902 THE LOCATION OF OUR HOME IN RELATION TO OUR SCHOOLS WOULD NOT EVER ENABLE OURCHILDREN TO WALK TO SCHOOL.

402909 THERE IS A CURVE ON OUR STREET (NELMAR DRIVE) THAT MAKES ME HESITATE TO EVER ALLOW BIKERIDING TO SCHOOL. THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AND HIGH SCHOOL DRIVERS CONSISTENTLY IGNORETHE 25 MPH ZONE ON OUR STREET. I ROUTINELY CALL THE SHERRIFF'S DEPT. BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMCHRONIC.

402915 AT THIS TIME AND MOST LIKELY IN 3RD GRADE I WON'T EVEN LET MY CHILD WALK TO THE BUS STOP BYHIMSELF - MOSTLY BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS.

402917 THE MAIN ISSUE IS DISTANCE SINCE DISTANCE PRETTY MUCH AFFECTS THE OTHER ISSUES. QUESTION#7 - BUS RIDE ROUTE

402918 WE NEED "END OF SCHOOL ZONES" SIGNS FOR MADISON AVE ELEM. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP IN THEPAST TO MICK SHOAF & HE SAID IT WASN'T THE DISTRICT'S BUT THE ROAD DEPT.'S DECISION

Page 11 of 13

402919 MY YOUNGEST ATTENDS MADISON AVE. MY ANSWERS WOULD BE DIFFERENT OF COURSE IF THEY WEREATTENDING JR WILLIAMS/RIVERSIDE PROVIDED THERE WERE SIDEWALKS. IN THAT CASE I WOULDALLOW THEM TO WALK.

402921 THERE ARE NOT SIDEWALKS ALONG MADISON AVENUE. I WILL NOT LET MY SON RIDE HIS BIKE TOSCHOOL NOW ONLY IF I AM WITH HIM.

402929 I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THERE WERE A PATH FOR KIDS TO BIKE ON. SHE'D NEVER EVENNEED TO CROSS THE STREET (MADISON AVE)

402932 I WOULDN'T LET HIM WALK @ ALL THAT'S TIME FOR ME TO TALK WITH HIM BEFORE AND AFTER TO LETHIM KNOW TO BE GOOD AND LISTEN & FIND OUT HOW HIS DAY WENT AND WE BOTH ENJOY THAT MOM &SON TIME.

402934 WE LIVE ON PARK RD EXT. THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS ON THE STREET NOR ANY TO WALK MY CHILDTOO. IMPROVEMENTS WOULD NEED TO BE DONE TO EVEN CONSIDER WALKING/BIKING TO SCHOOL.

402935 OUR CHILDREN'S GENERATION IS OBESE AND THE PERCENT OF DIABETES IS ON THE RISE. IF AWALK/BIKE PATH WAS IMPLEMENTED IT WOULD HELP OUR CHILDREN GET MORE EXERCISE. PLUS ITWOULD PROVIDE EXERCISE FOR THOSE PARENTS WALKING OR BIKING WITH THEIR CHILDREN TO ANDFROM SCHOOL.

402937 I DON'T WALK VERY MUCH BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS TO PUSH A STROLLER. MY KIDS WOULDLOVE TO WALK MORE WHEN IT'S NICE OUTSIDE.

402941 AS WONDERFUL AS WALKING/BIKING WOULD BE FOR OUR YOUTH OUR COMMUNITY'S INFRASTRUCTUREIS NOT EQUIPED FOR THIS. WE HAVE NO SIDEWALKS FEW TRAFFIC SIGNS/LIGHTS AND COUNTRYDESIGNED ROADWAYS. IMPROVEMENTS TO THESE CONDITIONS EVEN JUST FOR THE OVERALL SAFETYOF BUS PICK-UP/DROP-OFF LOCATIONS (WHICH ARE LOCATED IN MANY HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS) WOULD BEINVALUABLE TO OUR COMMUNITY.

402951 LOTS OF CONCERN CROSSING MADISON AVE & WHERE WE LIVE THERE ARE NOT ALOT OF OTHER KIDSWALKING.

402955 MY CHILD IS IN 1ST GRADE. I WOULD NOT LET HER WALK OR RIDE HER BIKE TO SCHOOL. WE DO NOT LIVECLOSE ENOUGH TO LET HER WALK.

402959 MY DAUGHTER WAS PICKED UP FROM SCHOOL DUE TO THE BOOST PROGRAM. OTHERWISE SHE WOULDHAVE RODE THE BUS HOME ALSO.

402962 VERY HARD TO SAY AS THE STOPLIGHT AND HILLSIDE BY WINTERGREEN HILL CAN BE VERYDANGEROUS. DON'T THINK YOU COULD DO ANYTHING TO MAKE MY ANSWERS CHANGE TO YES.

402965 UNREALISTIC FOR CHILD TO WALK TO SCHOOL - DISTANCE - CLIMATE - SAFETY - SIDEWALKS NONE -TRAFFIC

402966 AT THIS AGE I'M NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT VIOLENCE AMONG THE KIDS I WORRY MORE BECAUSE MYCHILD IS INATTENTIVE TO TRAFFIC

402979 I DRIVE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL IN THE WINTER. THE SNOWPLOW PILES SNOW AT THE END OF OURSTREET AND THE SIDEWALK IS NOT ALWAYS CLEARED ON THE MAIN ROAD (MADISON AVENUE).

402980 WHAT DOES #15 HAVE TO DO WITH THIS SURVEY?!

402981 MY CHILD WALKS TO SCHOOL ONLY IN THE SPRING/SUMMER MONTHS. WE DRIVE HER IN THE WINTERMOS. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS FOR THE KIDS TO WALK ON & I DON'T WANT HER WALKINGON THE STREET WHICH IS VERY BUSY.

402984 A CHILD IN K-5 GRADE SHOULD NOT BE WALKING OR RIDING A BIKE TO SCHOOL. QUESTION #10 - MYCHILD WILL NEVER WALK TO SCHOOL

402985 THERE IS NOTHING THE SCHOOLS OR THE TOWNSHIP CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ORTHE BAD WEATHER WE EXPERIENCE.

402994 WE WOULD DEFINITELY SUPPORT A WALKING/BIKING PATH TO & FROM SCHOOL.

402996 MY SON IS ALREADY A WALKER AND NOT ASSIGNED A BUS. I SOMETIMES GET NERVOUS WITH HIMWALKING SINCE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HURT CHILDREN AND DO NOT LIKE HIMWALKING IN THE POURING RAIN OR WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

Page 12 of 13

403002 WE LIVE WAY TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL FOR THIS TO APPLY TO US. OUR LOCAL SCHOOL WASFULL.

403004 WE LIVE OFF A MAIN ROUTE (84)>TRUCKS AND VEHICLES PASS BY AT RAPID SPEEDS. NO SIDEWALKS ORWALKPATHS TO USE. I PAY MY TAXES -> KEEP THE BUSES ROLLING. CUT THE TEACHERS &ADMINISTRATORS PAY $$$

403008 THE SCHOOL HAS NO ADULT SUPERVISION FOR STUDENTS THAT ARRIVE VIA BIKE WALKING ORDROP-OFF IN THE MORNING - BIG FACTOR IN NOT ALLOWING HIM TO BIKE RIDE. (LIKE SAFETY PATROL)

403010 WE LIVE AT THE INTERSECTION OF RIVERSIDE/PARK VERY FAST DRIVERS NO SIDEWALKS NO LARGE AMTOF KIDS OR ADULTS AROUND. EASY TO SNATCH CHILD.

403014 IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A BIKE/WALKING PATH ALONG MADISON AVENUE AND BOWHALL RD. THISWOULD ALLOW CHILDREN & PARENTS TO WALK & BIKE MORE WHICH WOULD BE HEALTHIER FOR ALL.

403015 THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS ON RIVERSIDE DR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR ANY CHILDWALKING OR BIKING.

403022 I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALLOWING GIRLS TO WALK TO SCHOOL WITH ALL THE UNSAFE PEOPLE THAT LIVE INOUR SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS; ALSO THE TRAFFIC DRIVES TOO FAST; AND THE WEATHER HEREIS NOT CONDUSIVE FOR WALKERS.

403024 THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AND TRAFFIC ON RTE 84 AND MADISON AVE AT THIS TIME IS HEAVY ANDMOVES QUICKLY. I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE FOR A CHILD TO WALK ON THESE STREETS.

403030 ROUTE 84 IS OUR BIGGEST SET-BACK FOR ANY KIND OF SAFE WALKING OR BIKING. WOULD DEFINITELYWALK/BIKE IF THERE WERE SIDEWALKS AVAILABLE. QUESTION #9 - (WITH A FRIEND). QUESTION #10 - IFWEATHER NOT TOO BAD.

403037 MY SON WAS ENROLLED IN LEROY ELEMENTARY BUT DUE TO TIME OF YEAR ENROLLED AND CLASS SIZEHE WAS "FORCE TRANSFERRED" TO MADISON AVENUE.

403038 MADISON AVE IS A HEAVILY TRAVELED ROAD THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS AND IT IS NOT MAINTAN (PATHSTHEY USE). KIDS WALK IN KNEE HIGH SNOW ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. CROSSING GUARD AT 2STOPS. ONLY NO OTHER ADULT SUPERVISION. UNSAFE!!!

403040 MAIN FACTORS INFLUENCING MY DECISION IS HIS AGE LACK OF SIDEWALKS HEAVY TRAFFIC AT A LARGEINTERSECTION ON THE WAY TO HIS SCHOOL.

Appendix G – Wellness Policy

Riverside Local School District Bylaws & Policies

8510 - WELLNESS

As required by law, the Board of Education establishes the following wellness policy for the Riverside Local School District.

The Board recognizes that good nutrition and regular physical activity affect the health and well being of the District's students. Furthermore, research suggests that there is a positive correlation between a student's health and well being and his/her ability to learn. Moreover, schools can play an important role in the developmental process by which students establish their health and nutrition habits by providing nutritious meals and snacks through the schools' meal programs, by supporting the development of good eating habits, and by promoting increased physical activity both in and out of school.

The Board, however, believes this effort to support the students' development of healthy behaviors and habits with regard to eating and exercise cannot be accomplished by the schools alone. It will be necessary for not only the staff, but also parents and the public at large to be involved in a community-wide effort to promote, support, and model such healthy behaviors and habits.

The Board sets the following goals in an effort to enable students to establish good health and nutrition habits:

A. School nutrition programs comply with Federal, State and local requirements. School nutrition

programs are accessible to all children.

B. Sequential and interdisciplinary nutrition education is provided and promoted.

C. Patterns of meaningful physical activity connect to students’ lives outside of physical education.

D. All school based activities are consistent with local wellness policy goals.

The Board designates the Superintendent as the individual(s) charged with operational responsibility for measuring and evaluating the District's implementation and progress under this policy. The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines necessary to implement this policy.

The Superintendent shall report on the District's compliance with this policy and the progress toward achieving the goals set forth herein when requested to do so by the Board.

Review of this policy shall occur every year, by a committee appointed by the Board, consisting of a representative(s) of the Board, the administration, the food service provider, the parents, the students, and the public. The committee shall provide the Board with any recommended changes to this policy.

Appendix K – ODOT (District 12) Quarterly Reports

Safe Routes To School

Quarterly Progress Report July 22, 2010

The Core-Team committee has met on five (5) separate occasions – from March

25, 2010 to June 10, 2010. Meetings will resume when school begins in August. The Township hired a representative from CH2M HILL (Ms. Cindy Juliano) to

serve as the technical writer for our STP (total cost of $1,200).

The Tally Sheets (printing invoice pending) were completed by the appropriate teachers (at all four participating schools) during the week of May 17, 2010.

The Parent Surveys (printing invoice pending) were distributed (via student take-

home) on April 19, 2010 and collected (by all four schools) on May 21, 2010.

The Township (on May 19, 2010) purchased twelve bicycles from a local Wal-Mart Store (for a total cost of $599.64), and the Wal-Mart Store donated twelve bike safety helmets to the cause. The twelve combination prizes (12- bike/helmet prizes) were distributed three to each of the four participating elementary schools. The Core-Team offered a raffle ticket (one per household) for a completed and returned parent survey – for which, the raffle winner received one of the three bike/helmet combination prizes. All twelve bicycle/helmet prizes were successfully awarded.

The completed Tally Sheets and Parent Surveys were shipped (for a total cost of

$64.18) to the National Center (Chapel Hill, NC) on May 26, 2010.

The National Center reported (June 7, 2010) to be in the process of conducting a database upgrade, which has caused a backlogged of data processing - and we should receive our data collection report by mid-to-late July 2010. As of the date on this report, it has not been received.

Conducted “Walking Audits” at all four participating elementary schools.

Full-color area maps (one for each of the four participating schools) were

completed and shared on July 6, 2010. The maps indicate a one & two mile radius around the school and depict; Local Roadways, County Poverty Levels, School Related Signage, School Uses (bike racks, crosswalks, crossing guards, entrances & exits, etc.), Bus and Car Travel Routes, Student Travel Paths, Student Residences with their grade levels.

Respectfully Submitted by Lee R. Bodnar, Administrator Painesville Township

Executive Summary

The purpose of this report is to conduct an Engineering Study as part of ODOT’s Safe Routes to School Program for four elementary schools in Painesville Township, Ohio:





Recognizing the need to promote healthy lifestyles and the health and wellness of the students within the District, the community, schools, and Township joined forces to create a Safe Routes to School committee to begin the process of applying for SRTS funding for infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). Through this, a community or school may apply for assistance in implementing strategies in the areas of Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation (5 E’s) to improve students’ ability to engage in active transportation to and from school. As part of this program the team must develop and submit a School Travel Plan (STP) that outlines the community’s intentions. The STP is to document township/community’s intentions for enabling students to engage in active transportation modes, and to serve as the foundation for funding requests under the ODOT SRTS program.

This Engineering Study serves as the Engineering components of the SRTS STP from step seven through nine and identifies infrastructure and complementary non-infrastructure strategies recommended to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety for the students and their parents to walk and/or bike to and from schools. The study includes analysis of accident records, walking audit results, identification of existing conditions, and determination of engineering countermeasures and solutions. Specific improvement suggestions were developed for the school to address the short, mid and long term needs of the children walking or biking to the school with an emphasis on low cost and easily implementable countermeasure(s) within the immediate vicinity of each school. The solutions proposed for the four elementary schools provide a comprehensive range of solutions with costs categorized in the range of low (less than $20,000), medium ($20,000 to $150,000) and high ($150,000 or greater). Targeted improvement areas for each of the four schools include:

Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities – improve and or construct new sidewalks and pathways

School Crossings – construct new or improved school crossing at appropriate locations within and adjacent to the immediate school zone area

School Zone Traffic Control – provide new or improved signage and pavement markings to increase the visibility of school zones motorists and improve all modes of traffic flow within the school zone and through the school property to minimize the chance of conflict between non-motorized pedestrian and bikes, and motorized transportation such as automobiles and school buses

Other Roadway/Infrastructure Safety Improvements within the community to facilitate students safe use of active transportation to and from school

Other complementary non-infrastructure improvements have been suggested in the areas of Education, Enforcement, Encouragement, and Evaluation.

Existing Conditions

The Hale, Hadden, Buckeye, and Madison Safeway Plan Painesville Township is located about 30 miles east of downtown Cleveland and is one of the five townships of Lake County, Ohio. Painesville Township is home to the Riverside Local School District, formerly the Painesville Township Local Schools. Its schools include Riverside High School, John R. Williams Junior High School, Lamuth Middle School and six elementary schools.

The Painesville Township SRTS Team, through input from students, parents, teachers, principals, county agencies and local business, has initiated under the State of Ohio’s Safe Routes to Schools program a school travel plan entitled the Hale, Hadden, Buckeye, and Madison Safeway Plan as a means to address barriers and deterrents to use of active transportation by elementary school children at four of the elementary schools within the District: Hale Road Elementary, Clyde C. Hadden Elementary, Buckeye Elementary, and Madison Avenue Elementary. The Painesville Township SRTS Core Team established the primary goals of the Plan to be to educate students on the safety and value of utilizing active transportation to and from school, and to encourage students to walk and/or bike to school via existing/proposed infrastructure for their safe and healthy travel.

The following summarizes in more detail the current transportation mode breakdown relative to walking and biking and motorized transportation at each of the four schools addressed by the Hale, Hadden, Buckeye, and Madison Safeway Plan:

Hale Elementary School Hale Road Elementary School is located at 56 Hale Road in Painesville Township and provides education to 467 students. Nearly 91% of the students are located within the two miles biking boundary of the school and approximately 33% of the students live within the one mile walking boundary. Based on the parent surveys, only 8% of the children have asked for their parent’s permission to walk/bike to and from school and less than 1% are reported as typically walking or biking to school.

Clyde C. Hadden School Hadden Elementary School is located on Mentor Avenue in Painesville Township. About 278 students attend Hadden Elementary. Approximately 65% of the students are living within two-miles from the campus and about 56% of the students are located within one-mile walking radius from the school. While 32% of the parents surveyed reported that their children have asked for permission to walk/bike to and from school, only 8-10% were reported as typically walking or biking to school.

Buckeye Elementary School Buckeye Elementary is located at 995 Buckeye Road in Painesville Township and it has 513 students enrolled from pre-school to grade. Approximately 32% students are located within one mile walking radius from the school and 55% of the students are living within the school’s

two-mile biking boundary. Based on the parents’ survey, currently only 2 students were reported biking/walking to school. Based on parent surveys, 20% of the total students have asked for permission to walk or bike to or from school, yet less than 2 percent of students were reported as typically walking or biking to school.

Madison Elementary School Madison Avenue Elementary is located at 845 Madison Avenue. The school serves approximately 418 K-5 students. Approximately 62% of the students are living within a one mile walking radius of the school and approximately 94% students are living within two miles of the campus. Based on parent surveys, 34% of the students have asked for permissions to walk/bike to school and currently, yet only 3-5% are reported as typically walking or biking to school.

Safe Routes to Schools Although majority of students attending Hale, Hadden, Buckeye and Madison live within 2 miles of the school, and based on distance should be able to choose an active form of transportation to and from school, there is a high percentage of children driven to and from school via school buses or private vehicles. While each school is unique overall, the population distribution of students within both a 1 mile walking and 2-mile biking radius of all four schools lends itself to an increase in the use of active transportation to and from school through a combination of infrastructure and non-infrastructure initiatives under the SRTS program.

While parent and community surveys identified a wide range of deterrents to the use of active transportation such as distance, convenience, time constraints, participation in afterschool program, weather, and personal safety (violence, crime), a clearly predominant theme at all four schools was the need for additional or improved infrastructure. Parent surveys frequently listed the lack of available or complete walkways and pathways, narrow roads, the need for increased awareness of the school zones by the motoring public (such as through signs or pavement markings), the need for improved crossing conditions at intersections and school crosswalks ,and traffic safety concerns such as speed and volume of traffic.

Assessment of Accident Data A total of thirty-one (31) pedestrian and bicycle accidents were reported within the vicinity of the four elementary schools during the three-year time periods of 2005 - 2007. The following statistics discuss accident facts for each elementary school area addressed in this report.

Clyde C. Hadden School There were two (2) pedestrian/bicycle crashes occurred within the vicinity of Hadden Elementary School, and one (1) crash resulted in injuries. The injury crash was pedestrian and occurred on Millmore Drive. The other crash was bicycle accident occurring about 0.7 miles east of the school on Coventry Drive.

Buckeye Elementary School A review of crash data shows that six (6) crashes involving pedestrians and/or bikes occurred within vicinity of Buckeye Elementary School; three were pedestrian and three bike related. One (1) of these crashes resulted in fatality and four (4) resulted in injuries.

There were three (3) crashes occurring within one-mile radius from the school. Two (2) of them occurred on Jackson Street, west of US 44 and the other one (1) occurred on Mentor Avenue. Another three (3) crashes happened within two-mile school radius at various locations.

Madison Avenue Elementary School Nineteen (19) pedestrian or bicycle crashes were reported in the vicinity of the Madison Avenue Elementary School during the study periods. Seventeen (17) of them resulted in injury and there were no fatality accidents noted for the study years. Three (3) of the twenty-one crashes occurred within a one-mile radius from the school, two on S. State Street and one on Madison Avenue. The other sixteen (16) crashes happened within the two-mile radius from the school with a high concentration (6) along Liberty Street.

Hale Elementary School Four (4) pedestrian and bicycle accidents were reported within the vicinity of Hale Road Elementary School during the latest study year from 2005 to 2007. Three (3) of them resulted in injuries and no fatal crashes were reported during the study periods.

Three (3) of the four (4) crashes occurred within a one-mile radius from the school, and two (2) of them occurred on N. Ridge Road. One occurred on the Hwy 34 ramp terminals on Fairport Nursery Road and one crash occurred within 2-mile radius on Fairport Nursery Road at the Mantle Road intersection.

Barriers to Active Transportation

When surveyed, teachers, parents, and SRTS team members indicated that safety of intersections and crossings, high vehicular speed, incomplete sidewalks and pathways in disrepair, insufficient school zone traffic control, and distance to the school were primary impediments to students walking or biking to and from school. Also, congestion and conflicts between pedestrians, bikers, and motorists contribute to a sense of confusion within the school zone during arrival and departure and contribute to an increased risk of harm for all users.

Identification of Barriers In order to identify the circumstances and elements within the community that contribute to the parents’ and teachers’ sense of unease in allowing their children to walk or bicycle to school, walking audits were conducted with members of the SRTS Team to review the walkability and bikeability of the community surrounding each elementary school. Specifically, the primary walking and biking routes in the immediate vicinity of the schools were observed during either the morning arrival or the afternoon dismissal period from the school. The walking audits focused on the following primary elements when it came to walkability and bikeablity:

1. Is there room to walk/bicycle?

2. Is it easy to cross streets and how are the intersections that must be walked or ridden through?

3. Do drivers behave well?

4. Do students follow safety rules?

5. Are the routes pleasant?

Throughout the audit and observation of arrival or departure traffic patterns, the team discussed the various conditions and made notes of the following identified barriers to active transportation within the immediate school area and throughout the community of Painesville:

Disconnected/broken sidewalks/pathway

Faded/insufficient crosswalk and pavement markings

Inadequate school zone signage and traffic control

Deficient roadway infrastructure

Poor condition and location of bicycle parking

School Zone Barriers The following pages present the observed school specific barriers noted during the walking audits conducted at each school facility.

Hale Elementary School

Deficient Sidewalk/Pathway

The existing sidewalks along Hale Road are disconnected or missing through Park Drive. Existing worn walking path is clearly present and used by students on the south side of Hale Road.

Lee Road, with limited shoulders, is too narrow to comfortably accommodate pedestrian and auto traffic.

There are no sidewalks connecting Hale Road and Lee Road to the school entrance and students frequently must walk through the grassy areas to avoid conflict with auto and bus traffic along the school drives.

Deficient crosswalk and school zone pavement markings The crosswalk on Hale Road across Lee Road is fading. A crosswalk exists at Base Drive; however, it needs to be

relocated to the school side of the intersection on Hale. No crosswalks exist across Hale Road at Sivon Drive,

Park Road and across entrance/exit drive to school was noted, yet the walking path appears to be on the south side of Hale Road.

Insufficient advance school zone warning signs on N. Ridge Road given the location of the elementary school.

Deficient school zone signage and traffic control

Existing school zone speed limit sign has been placed at the intersection of Lee Road east of Lee Road which is too close to school to provide sufficient advance warning to the traffic. (Primary entrance to school is from Lee Road.)

Currently there is no school warning sign approaching the school on Lee Road, south of the school.

The existing school entrance from Lee Road is easily missed by the traffic.

Deficient infrastructure & other barriers

Park Road and Hale Road intersection is currently under stop control. The crossing of this intersection is dangerous for pedestrians and bikers.

School currently has no formal bike racks or secured bike storage.

Existing ADA ramp to access school is constructed of wood and in need of upgrade

Photos: Existing deficient sidewalk to the west and east sides of school.


Deficient sidewalk/pathway

Existing sidewalks in front of school at both sides of the common/open area are not wide enough to accommodate both pedestrians and bikers who routinely use the sidewalk at the same time

Existing sidewalks adjacent to the east and west side of school building are in state of disrepair. Connection to the parking lot is missing.

Path/sidewalk is missing through the baseball field from Everette Road to the school building. Students routinely walk through field to and from school as a large concentrations live to the north via this connection.

Sections of sidewalks along Nye Road between Mentor Avenue and Everette Road are missing. Nye connects to a large concentration of students.

Other local streets (Fairfield Road, Stratford Road and Doan Avenue) in residential areas have multiple locations of lack of connectivity due to incomplete or missing sidewalks.

Deficient crosswalk and school zone pavement markings

Vehicle circulation pavement markings were missing to prevent conflicts with pedestrians and bikers.

Faded pavement markings of “SCHOOL” at both the east and west side of Mentor Avenue were noted.

Poor school zone signage and traffic control

School zone and crosswalk signs along westbound Mentor Avenue were placed outside the sight line of drivers or blocked by trees, poles or sign posts.

School speed limit signs are placed at appropriate locations within the school zones. However, they are within area of traffic signals, lighting poles and various traffic controls which limits the visibility of the school zone warning signs.


Bike racks are old, in state of disrepair, and not secured. ADA ramp for access to school is old wood with rails

and asphalt landing in state of frequent maintenance.

Sidewalk is missing along west edge of school property adjacent to the tree line to provide. Students use this to avoid conflict with auto traffic in parking lot/drive.

Existing north side sidewalk along Buckeye Road is narrow and in a state of disrepair. This is the primary connection to streets west of the school and a high concentration of students.

Parents routinely drop or pick up children in the side parking lot near school, often performing a U-turn or parking in a fashion that impinges upon student walkways. The congestion that occurs upon dismissal, with buses, autos, walkers, and bikers all in one area creates confusion and forces students to chose alternative routes that aren’t marked or maintained.


There is no existing crosswalk or signs across Buckeye Road at Coleridge Road, and Fairgrounds Road.

Crosswalk and warning signs are missing across Larchwood Drive, Linden Drive, Coleridge Road, Hawthorn Drive, and Fairgrounds Road.

Fading crosswalk paint was noted at the school zone crosswalk(s).

Crosswalks across school drive entrance/exit to U-Drive are redundant.


School zone advance warning signs are insufficient on Buckeye Road and Mardon Drive.

Traffic circulation signs were missing at internal connecting drive to disallow cut-through traffic.


Bike racks are old and in state of disrepair, and not secured. Current location places bikes into center mix of auto traffic in side parking lot, deterring use.

Trees and bushes encroach over the sidewalk adjacent to the west of the school property.

Autos frequently attempt to cross the from the west parking lot to the loop drive, despite (small) do not enter signs that have been posted.

Madison Elementary School


There is no existing sidewalk/pathway along the outside of the school drives. Students frequently walk through grass to access school rather than use existing sidewalk along inside of drive

Existing sidewalks on inside edge of the school drive are disconnected

Existing sidewalks along the north side of Madison Avenue from Woodworth Avenue to Park Road are in the state of disrepair and disconnected.


Minimum existing crosswalks were noted at the cross streets along Madison Avenue.

Existing crosswalk pavement markings within the school zone are faded.


Visibility of existing school zone speed limit assemblies is limited; signs are mounted rather low and in line with other signs and utility poles.

The distance between drives compounds the problem the problem of driver awareness by creating a long school zone where maintaining reduced speed is often violated.

End school zone signs are missing. Location and height of existing crosswalk signs often

means poles, trees or other objects obstruct visibility

Deficient infrastructure Bike racks are old and in state of disrepair, and not

secured. Current organization of drive, parking, and primary

pedestrian and bike access to school from sidewalks located on the inside of the drive force all students to either walk on the outside of drive or to cross both bus and auto traffic to access school main entrance.

Existing visitor/side entrance is only handicap accessible entrance. Ramp is narrow, requires an acute turn on a slope and appears not to be ADA compliant.

Creating Solutions

The countermeasures and strategies to promote and develop safer routes focus on the 5 E’s of SRTS: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation. A combination of strategies adopted from all five of these areas will provide the most comprehensive solution, and one with the greatest chance of long term sustainability. As each school and community is unique, so should be the strategies and countermeasure developed to make active transportation safer for the children served by each school.

Goals

Engineering strategies and countermeasures should be developed in a way that is sensitive to the social and physical character and context of each school and community so that improvements are in harmony with the community. When combined with complementary Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation these Engineering Strategies allow the use of active transportation as a means for children to safely get to school. Recognizing that a link exists between the health issues impacting our nation’s children and their direct involvement in physical activity the Painesville Township SRTS Core team established the primary goals the Painesville Township STP for Hale, Hadden, Buckeye and Madison Elementary Schools to be:

Educating the students on the safety and value of utilizing active transportation to and from school; and,

Encouraging students to walk and/or bike to school via clearly defined routes allowing for their safe and healthy travel.

Recommended Improvement Strategies Engineering strategies and countermeasures should be developed in a way that is sensitive to the social and physical character and context of each school and community so that improvements are in harmony with the community. When combined with complementary Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation these Engineering Strategies allow the use of active transportation as a means for children to safely get to school.

Engineering Based on the results of the walkability/bikeability audit and identification of barriers to active transportation the following targeted improvement areas were developed to be addressed through Engineering Strategies for improving the routes students use when engaging in active transportation to and from school:

1. Fill missing links within the existing sidewalk and pathway system.

Adequate sidewalks and pathways for both foot and bicycle traffic in the immediate school area and surrounding community are a vital component of enabling safe and efficient movement of students to and from school. Existing facilities should be complete, provide a

continuous and connected path, not be encroached upon by parked vehicles or vegetative overgrowth along the side of the roadways and be well maintained. Recommendations under this strategy focus on constructing new or improved pathways to address deficiencies and gaps in the existing system.

2. Improve school crossings and school zone traffic control.

When properly placed and maintained school zone and pedestrian crosswalks and signage can facilitate the safe and efficient movement of students by providing direction to the preferred crossing location and serve as visual cues to roadway users as to the potential for pedestrians within the right-of way. Existing conditions present multiple crossings are in a state of disrepair (fading paint) throughout the school zone with little focus on organization of the pedestrian traffic flow to minimize conflicts with motorized vehicles. All school zone signs and pavement marking should be assessed and installed per the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD). Recommendations under this strategy focus on:

constructing new or improved school crossing at appropriate locations within and adjacent to the immediate school zone area, and

provide new or improved signage and pavement markings to increase the visibility of school zones motorists and improve all modes of traffic flow within the school zone and through the school property

3. Other Roadway/Infrastructure Safety Improvements.

The safety of children using active transportation to travel to and from school within the Painesville School District is directly related to safety on the roadway system transportation connections to the school. Both bikers and walkers are directly impacted by the same elements that affect operators of motorized vehicles. In particular, improvement to the intersections at which students cross and improvement to the traffic flow and circulation within the limits of the school drives and parking lots improves the ability for students to travel to school safely either by walking or biking.

From these three targeted improvement areas engineering and infrastructure improvements were identified for the Painesville Township schools to establish safer routes to schools for pedestrians within a maximum 1 mile radius, and bicyclist within a maximum 2 mile radius distance from the school. The recommendations are categorized in terms of their expected time to implement and associated costs as follows:

STLC - Short-term/Low-cost (estimated cost less than $20,000) MTMC - Mid-term/Medium-cost (estimated cost from $20,000 to $150,000) LTHC - Long-term/High-cost (estimated cost greater than $150,000)

While the implementation of short, mid, and long term have been generally correlated with cost, based on the expected time required to obtain funding for higher cost improvement and likely lower benefit to cost relationship, it is not required that a medium or high cost recommendation be deferred and for lower cost options implemented first if there is an immediate need and appreciable benefit to a medium or high cost alternative that the community considers a priority under this program. Estimated costs are included to provide a

general idea of the necessary funding to assist the local SRTS team in identifying priorities based on a cost to benefit assessment. All alternatives should be evaluated for the cost to students benefit ratio to assist in prioritizing projects resulting from this study.

The identified Engineering Strategies and improvements listed below will provide Painesville Schools with a full range of cost effective infrastructure and engineering solutions to counter the existing and potential impediments to active transportation for their school age children within their community towards promote active transportation through safer routes to schools. All engineering improvements recommended below should be installed per ODOT standards, with pavement markings and signage per the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD). Graphics have been included as an attachment to this report

Hale Road Elementary School The following are the recommended Engineering Improvements for Hale Road Elementary School:

a. (STLC-1) Provide directional signs indicating entrance to school from Lee Road. Per the ODOT Traffic Engineering Manual, Section 700 School Areas, a School Entrance S3-H3 sign with arrow plaque could be used to help directing school entrance traffic to enter from Lee Road. Fluorescent yellow-green shall be used as background on all school zone signs. Alternatively, a more decorative sign could be installed, consistent with the School appearance to provide direction from the Hale Road intersection at Lee Road to the drive on Lee Road.

b. (STLC-2) Install “Exit Only” and “Do Not Enter” signs at the school exit to Hale Road.

c. (STCL-3) Add/repaint directional arrows in the drives and parking lot to reinforce traffic circulation patterns at school drive and parking area.

d. (STLC-4) Relocate various existing school zone signs and add supplemental plaques:

Move school zone speed limit sign with beacons (S4-3P, R2-1, S4-1P) on Hale Road facing traffic in the eastbound direction to west of Lee Road.

Relocate existing school sign assembly (S1-1, S4-3P) on Hale Road currently located just west of Lee facing eastbound to Lee Road at southern school property line.

Relocate existing crosswalk sign assemblies (S1-1, W16-7P) on Hale road at Base Drive to correspond with relocated crosswalk location.

Add new crosswalk sign assemblies (S1-1, W16-7P) in both directions on Hale Road at new crosswalk at Sivon Drive and Park Road.

Add new advanced school zone warning signs (S1-1, W16-6P)on N. Ridge Road, both directions approaching intersection with Hale Road.

Add new crosswalk sign assembly on Fruitland Drive at approach to Hale Road. e. (STLC-5) Obtain traffic counts and conduct signal warrant analysis for Hale Road/Park

Road intersection. Install traffic signal if warranted.

f. (STLC-6) Repaint crosswalk at Lee Road.

g. (STLC-7) Reconstruct/upgrade existing sidewalk and provide curb ramp at the south entrance of school building to connect to new extension to Lee, replace wheelchair ramp and be ADA compliant.

h. (STLC-8) Provide new painted crosswalk at Base Drive, Sivon Drive, and Park Road and across Lee Road entrance drive to school. Work includes removal of existing crosswalk on Hale Road at Base Drive. Crosswalk should be located on school side of the intersections on Hale Road.

i. (STLC-9) Install bike racks at existing fence chain bike parking area at the northern corner of the school building including asphalt or concrete pad, and 10 racks with foundations. Inverted-U bike racks are recommended for bike parking.

j. (STLC-10) Construct sidewalk connections from Hale Road and Lee Road to school entrances.

k. (STLC-11) Construct sidewalk along east side of Lee Road from Hale to Lee Road Entrance Drive to connect existing sidewalk on Hale Road to new sidewalk section connecting from Lee Road to the school (proposed in STLC-10).

l. (MTMC-1) Construct new paved/stabilized shoulders on both sides of Lee Road from southern school property line to Arbor Lane. Current site conditions and limited student volume do not warrant nor physically allow for the addition of sidewalks south of school property line. Paved/stabilized shoulders are cost effective, more easily fit within the right-of-way and will provide the necessary area for students to walk that will not conflict with vehicular traffic.

m. (MTMC-2) Construct new sidewalk along south side of Hale Road to Park Road.

n. (LTHC-1) Install traffic signal, if warranted, at the Hale Road/Park Road intersection.

Clyde C. Hadden Elementary School The following are the recommended Engineering Improvements for Hadden Elementary School:

a. (STLC-1) Add pavement arrows at entrance and exit of the school drive to reinforce traffic circulation for inbound and outbound traffic.

b. (STLC-2) Repaint pavement marking of “SCHOOL” at both the east and west side of Mentor Avenue within the school zone. OMUTCD pavement word and symbol markings standard and guidance should be followed.

c. (STLC-3) Install “Exit Only” and “Do Not Enter” signs at exit of the elementary school drive. Existing “Enter Only” sign will be relocated to be more visible to the school traffic.

d. (STLC-4) Install sign post reflectors on all existing and relocated signs on Mentor Avenue.

e. (STLC-5) Relocate school zone (S1-1 and W16-9P) and crosswalk signs (S1-1 and W16-7P) along eastbound Mentor Avenue to be more visible. Any signs that are at inappropriate locations will be removed and re-installed to provide clear messages to the traffic at school zone. All school zone signs should be fluorescent yellow-green background. Where poles

are close to curb or blocking view, consider moving signs in front of poles on approaching traffic side, or closer to edge of curb with MUTCD guidelines.

f. (STLC-6) Install flashing beacons to relocated School Crosswalk Warning Assemblies. The beacon shall conform to OMUTCD Section 4k.04.

g. (STLC-7) Repaint existing crosswalks in front of the school building within the bus pick-up zone using high visibility paint to direct students to the appropriate crossing and warn buses and motorists to expect pedestrians.

h. (STLC-8) Replace/upgrade ADA wheelchair ramp at the east side entrance of the school building with lower maintenance concrete and steel rail ramp.

i. (STLC-9) Replace the existing sidewalks adjacent to east and west sides of the school building. Extend west side sidewalk to the end of parking lot to connect to the beginning of the proposed/new sidewalk/path in MTMC-1 through the rear fields.

j. (STLC-10) Construct bike parking area with new bike racks including asphalt or concrete pad. Provide 10 racks with foundations. Inverted-U bike racks are recommended for bike parking.

k. (STLC-11) Widen existing sidewalks in front of school on both sides of the common/open area to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians to be a multi-use facility. ADA compliant curb ramps will be installed.

l. (STLC-12/13) Replace existing overhead school speed limit with rear-facing beacons to reinforce the school zone signs (S5-H5, Fluorescent yellow-green shall be used as background). Mount signs above lane line between the two lanes in each direction. Given low vehicle speed compliance within the school zone along Mentor Avenue, oversized overhead assembly is recommended to provide best visibility.

m. (SLTC-14) Inspect all existing to remain sidewalks that provide access to residential concentrations for conditions of disrepair; prioritize and repair any sections deemed deficient or hazardous. Local streets to consider include Fairfield Road, Stratford Road, and Doan Avenue South.

n. (MTMC-1) Construct new sidewalk/path at the back of the school along west side of school property behind rear baseball field extending to Everette Road. The proposed sidewalk along the west side of the baseball field will provide students from western and northern neighborhoods a more direct connection to the schools.

o. (MTMC-2) Construct /replace new sidewalks along west side of Nye Road between Mentor Avenue and Everette Road.

p. (MTMC-3) Provide lighting at the back of the school along the proposed/new sidewalk/path through the rear field.

Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation

The following Education, Enforcement, Encouragement, and Evaluation Strategies are offered as suggestions to complement existing and additional actions under development by the SRTS to complement the recommended short term Infrastructure/engineering solutions.

Notify parents and the public about planned and constructed improvements to the infrastructure around the schools through a regular newsletter to generate support of walking and biking as a means of transport to school. Identify the other elements of the program that when combined with the infrastructure improvements, provide more complete safe routes to schools that students can utilize to get to school.

Utilize crossing guards at major crossing points within the vicinity of the school zone (Buckeye, Hale and Madison). Crossing guard equipment for all student and adult crossing guards should include at a minimum a bright reflective safety vest in good condition, a stop paddle in good condition, and if possible, a bright hat to increase visibility.

Work with police to provide safety patrol during school’s arrival and dismissal time (Buckeye and Madison) to reinforce school zone speed limits. Utilize periodic and unscheduled enforcement (establishes unpredictability) if routine enforcement is not feasible

Coordinate the release of walking and biking students to reduce conflict with auto riders and drop-off/pick-up flows. Consider earlier release for walking and biking students as an incentive to increase participation in active transportation to and from school.

Adopt a wellness policy and active transportation statement, including strategic objective and action plan items into the Riverside Local School District Mission statement to reinforce the commitment to increasing active transportation as viable modes for students to and from school.

Solicit staff participation in active transportation for those staff that live within the 1-mile and 2-mile buffer zones, to encourage and incentivize walking and biking to school.

Improvements Mapping

Graphics have been included for each school that summarizing the primary and secondary SRTS routes that the greatest potential to serve a majority of students who could chose to walk to school based on residence, distance, and connectivity. The routes reflect the links with the highest potential for use as Safe Routes to Schools by the children addressed by the Hale, Hadden, Buckeye, and Madison Safeway Plan.

Similarly, graphics have been included as follow illustrating the proposed engineering strategies and infrastructure improvements developed in conjunction with this Engineering Study.
