Safer route after & before

time3 mo agoview13 views

This is a project to improve access for students who walk or roll to school. Sidewalk was missing on one side (where a well-used dirt path showed the need). The wide street leads to the school and a large park driveway for entry & exit. Project added sidewalk, one slightly raised crossing, bike lane striping & flex posts, plus a green bike box at the stoplight intersection. What more could they have done? 1) Make the other two "T" intersections narrower, 2) elevation change for those two intersections and the park driveway. 3) Considering this is an elementary school for students where the oldest would be 10 or 11 years, sure feels like the plan gave up at the stoplight intersection -- with disappearing flexposts & the green box. Oh! and check out the large radii at those new corners.
