NEIGHBORHOOD ASSESSMENT REVIEW

  • SRTS Top 3 Findings…
  • Communities lack policies that

support walkable and bikeable development.

  • Facets of street design do not

prioritize safe walking and biking (i.e. curb radii, designated bike space, ADA compliance).

  • Students located in a walk zone:
  • BVES = 50 = 8%
  • JMS = 45 = 10%
  • PHS = 158 = 30%

www.saferoutesproctor.wordpress.com

  • Safe Kids Top 3 Findings…
  • JMS/PHS does not have mapped

safe routes to school.

  • Lack of sidewalks and uncontrolled

pick-up/drop-off zone adjacent to JMS/PHS cause potential safety issues for student pedestrians.

  • Visibility of school zone and student

crossings is lacking at JMS/PHS.

LET’S TAKE A WALK!

  • We’re going to take a half-hour walk around Bay View Heights.
  • As we walk, ask yourself these questions:
  • Do you have room to walk?
  • Is it easy to cross streets?
  • Do drivers behave safely?
  • Do walkers behave safely?
  • Is the route pleasant?
