Home Browse Search

Alta will develop a demonstration project at one of the suggested priority school locations or along a suggested priority SRTS corridor, and will integrate many of the proven strategies that we gained from our experience leading the most recent round of SCAG Go Human Tactical Urbanism events. their existing Go Human demonstration materials. Other demonstration materials, such as vegeta- tion, can be solicited from local businesses and organizations. On-site surveys will be collected from people walking or bicycling with the aid of a temporary installation of clipboards and a box to collect paper surveys. Temporary signage will also inform pass- ersby of the demonstration project and solicit infor- mation through an easily remembered website address to allow drivers and other users passing by the project, but unable to stop, to contribute feedback. Most importantly, any temporary designs must meet safety criteria for a temporary street element, and we will work closely with City engineers to identify ways to protect the safety of all road users and reduce liability for both the City and our team. Task 2 Deliverables: . Walking Audit notices • Walking Audits at every participating school Participant lists . Audit photographs Geodatabase and AutoCAD file of infrastructure issues and recommended improvements Traffic counts near schools . Technical memorandum summarizing data collected • Community Outreach Plan • Multi-lingual marketing materials such as presentations, photos, social media postings, and flyers • One presentation slide deck for PDT use • Meeting agendas and notes • Participant evaluation forms . One (1) school focused pop-up demonstration project Task 3: GIS Mapping TASK 3.1. PREPARE SUGGESTED ROUTE TO SCHOOL MAPS Based on GIS data and input received during the site assessments, Alta will develop Suggested Route to School maps for each school that focus on key corridors near schools for students to walk, bike, and access transit. Suggested Route to School maps can be an effective tool in identifying preferred routes to school for walking and bicycling based on existing infrastructure like sidewalks and bike lanes, or traffic controls/crossing guards for crossing streets. Suggested Route maps are user maps, intended to be used as a wayfinding, encouragement, and outreach tool, and generally developed at the scale of an entire enrollment area for elementary schools, and at a 1-3 mile radius for middle and high schools. N Suggested Route maps differ from Walking Audit Conceptual Improvement maps in that they are based on existing infrastructure condition, and they can also be used to prioritize infrastructure investments on key school routes. As infrastruc- ture improvements are made, the suggested routes maps should be updated to reflect new route information. The maps will show recommended walking and bicycling routes to school for the school enrollment areas (for elementary schools), and a 1-2 mile radius for middle and high schools. Suggested routes will be designated using arrows or high- lighted corridors, and we will show average walking and bicycling times from select locations. Maps will include: 25B-18 School boundary Suggested walking and biking routes (using arrows or highlighted corridors) 12
