For each collector street without a crosswalk 5 The school zone is located on a through street. The collector street's high traffic volume and speed are in proximity to a high concentration of students and pickup and drop-off activity. The school zone is located on a street where traffic volume and speed are relatively low, but There is typically a high concentration of student pedestrians and pickup and drop-off activity. The school zone is located on a street where traffic volume and speed is relatively low, and There is typically a lower concentration of student pedestrians and pickup and drop-off activity. A signal is the highest level of traffic control available.
Priority is given to schools with fewer improvements.
Geographic location is taken into account to ensure that one area of the City does not receive a disproportionate number of projects. Speed and volume data are then collected for the short list of school zones, and points are assigned. The highest priority school safety projects will be selected by comparing each school's point totals. By using existing information to develop a project short list, it minimizes the more costly process of new data collection. This conserves program resources for the implementation of school safety projects.
