Agreement with All City Management Services March 6, 2018 Page 2 In 2014, the Traffic Division conducted a review of the 72 crossing guard positions in the City. The review included evaluating the "Warrant Sheet' for a crossing guard/traffic signal crossing by Public Works; analyzing traffic collision data; site surveys of the locations, and a personal interview with the crossing guards. Warrant sheets contain information, such as traffic counts, that is used by Public Works to establish if a crossing guard is warranted at a particular location. The following factors were also considered in the analysis: 1.) Several warrant sheets recommended one crossing guard, but there were additional crossing guards assigned; 2.) Some crossing guards were in close proximity to others; 3.) There was an overhead tri -phase signal or a marked crosswalk with sufficient street signage; 4.) The collision data involving pedestrians at most locations was relatively low, or the data did not support collisions were occurring during school hours; 5.) Some crossing guards interviewed indicated pedestrian traffic was minimal; 6.) Children were crossing major streets to attend school despite the fact there was another school in closer proximity or in the same residential tract. As a result, the Traffic Division determined that there was a need to staff 50 crossing guard positions in the City.
