Date: April 9, 2007 Title: fv,oscow City Supervisor lTD 0166, Ida to School {Rev. 3.07) 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- APPLICATION QUESTIONS QUESTION 1: What is the PROBLEM? • 1 What are the current risks or obstacles (physical or perceived) to walking and/or oicycling to and from your school site(s)? During the 1960's and 1970's the City of Moscow's street standards did not require new residential subdivisions to construct pedestrian sidewalks. Lena Whitmore Elementary School (Lena) is located within subdivisions constructed during that era. As a result, there are very few existing sidewalks in the neighborhoods surrounding Lena and students walking or riding their bikes must utilize the vehicular driving lanes as their route to school. In addition, several of the streets in these surrounding neighborhoods have a significant amount of vehicular parking on both sides of the street. Unfortunately, the only place for children to walk or bike to school on them is between parked vehicles and cars traveling on the streets. Under these conditions, the children who are walking o r biking to school are in a very unsafe location. Also due to this situation, many students Who could walk or bike to school are instead driven by family members. This scenario results in another unsafe condition of vehicular congestion on the streets which surround the actual school grounds. The streets that surround Lena are narrow with residential parking allowed on one or both sides of the streets. Due to lack of space, there are no designated drop-off and pick-up areas near the school building entrance and exits. This unfortunately forces the vehicles transporting children to stop in the streets for pick up and delivery. The unsafe circumstances accumulate and escalate during poor weather conditions. b) Please provide other significant information such as crash data, speed limits, environmental factors, etc. as appropriate • • Lena employs approximately 45 staff and faculty (not including volunteers and student teachers) at a 1oderate school size of 292 students. The front of the school has a bus stop area, nine off-street uiagonal parking spaces including one handicapped space, three 15 minute spaces, and 4 spaces in a small staff lot on the side of the building which also serves at the loading and unloading zone; all other parking is on the street (with and without sidewalks) in the school vicinity. The driving space on the streets is very narrow in those areas where cars are parking on both sides. The speed lim it in school zones when children are present is 15 mph otherwise the limit is 25 and 35 depending on the area. In 2006 there were 19 citations issued in a two block area surrounding Lena and 2 accidents. Traffic count data indicates that on weekdays there is approximately 30% more traffic surrounding Lena than other city streets outside school zones. The goal is to create driver consciousness via Safe Routes to School (SR2S) education and encouragement and bring attention to safety concern areas within school zones. Increased law enforcement attention will relieve many of the safety issues created by lack of education and awareness. Describe any existing programs at the affected school(s) that educate or enhance walking or bicycling to school. The faculty and staff of Lena work in conjunction with the City of Moscow's DARE Officer Marie Miller to provide safety training for students grades K-5th. Lena has found it difficult to coordinate safety training due to the limited classroom time available. However, they have been able to provide training on cross-walk safety for K-1 51; DARE training K-3ro. (see Exh.1, Pg. 19) and participation in the International Walk to School day each fall. Officer Miller has several safety p rograms she can teach, however; a consistent curriculum in not currently in place at Lena. She offers an interactive course "Safety on Wheels" using a helmet, bike, program booklet (see Exh. 2, Pgs 20-48), a bike rodeo for 4- Ö 'th, and crosswalk guard training. The only encouragement event has been the International Walk to Jchool Day sponsored by a parent group. Over the past two years local businesses and citizens have a Ɗ""'ffillnit\1 \AJirf.o C!:lfoht 0\IOnt in 'h tna r!:!llort tho AnntlƏl lVVrr I ICUIƈJJVIIGUVII VV ITO 0166,1daho Safe Routes to School (Rev. 3-07) 8 ---PAGE BREAK--- QUESTION 4: Describe any local LAW ENFORCEMENT project participation • • a) Is your local law enforcement supportive of any increased needs the community may ave based on more children walking and bicycling to school? Law enforcement supports the SR2S project and identifies current biking/walking safety concerns. School zone patrol, helmet funding and classroom safety training will occur with greater frequency by educating officers and increasing funding for patrol overtime. Support from the SR2S project will encourage greater law enforcement participation through raising SR2S. awareness of officers, participation of law enforcement leaders on the SR2S Team, off-duty funding for SR2S events, and partnering on the Traffic Safety Campaign. b) How will law enforcement contribute to the education and encouragement efforts of the program? In the development of this project we have had several conversations with law enforcement and are confident increased safe walking/biking will result from our coordinated efforts. The S R2S will work with law enforcement to expand education to all students and offer additional on-going activities and events. As SR2S and law enforcement work jointly within the school, the hope is that biking/walking safety education becomes a routine feature. Law enforcement will participate in Walk and Roll to School by walking/riding alongside students, enforcing traffic violations and teaching safety skills. SR2S will fund limited off-duty officer time for these events. S R2S will work with law enforcement to host the annual community-wide bike rodeo at the June Annual Kids Safety Fair. The Traffic Safety campaign, a joint SR2S and law enforcement effort will begin with increased education through paid • publicity, newspaper features, public service announcements, live radio and notification to parents nd neighbors. Law enforcement will provide a speed reader board (they have just one) along the school route. Increased traffic enforcement will follow the education campaign. SR2S and. law enforcement will participate in interviews on live radio, newspaper features, and work together on SR2S displays and educational events at City Hall, Chamber of Commerce, the County Fair, Eggan Youth Center and other locales. lTD 0166, Idaho Safe Routes to School (Rev. 3-07) 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- QUESTION 5: Please describe your TIMELINE from project start to finish • • Safe Routes to School is a federal-aid program and is therefore subject to all such regulations. ermits and clearances from various local, state and federal agencies may be required. Applicants are encouraged to meet with appropriate federal, state, and local government • • agencies to determine requirements, processes and time schedules that may impact their project. Any work performed by the applicant prior to receiving written authorization to proceed is not eligible for reimbursement. Please remember that all projects in this funding cycle must be completed no later than August 31, 2008. a) Based upon receiving written "authorization to proceed" from ITO by August 1, 2007, how quickly can you begin your project? Staff time will be scheduled to begin implementing the project the week after notification and contract execution. b) Please indicate milestone dates from which progress can be measured. Note that the dates indicated will become part of the Project Agreement if this project is funded and failure to make substantial progress toward the milestone by the date indicated could result in termination of the project funding.

Are • ?U willing to comply with these requirements? How will you evaluate the total program after 1e construction and education/encouragement is complete? • • a) b) c) d) What are your anticipated project outcomes? Outcomes: increased biking/walking; improved parental perceptions of safety; less traffic congestion at drop off and pick up areas, students demonstrate greater safety skills (use of hand signals, stopping at lights, etc). Installation of the sidewalks and asphalt paths will provide a contiguous route for walking/biking rather than using multiple non-handicapped accessible street routes with traffic and parked cars. Additional project outcomes include the completion and distribution of the SR2S Audit, the SR2S Map, development of the SR2S School Team and the coordination of the Community SR2S group to develop and prioritize long-term S R2S goals and projects. The SR2S curriculum will create a model to be used in other school zones throughout Latah County. Continued support of the SR2S program and funding will provide for on-going program development. How will you collect before and after comparison data to indicate your outcomes? We will collect the following data at baseline, each quarter and at the project end: number of students walking and biking, and driven by bus or automobile; parents' and students' perceptions of walking/biking safety; traffic congestion (counting automobiles picking up and dropping off); and student safety skills (counting number of students demonstrating safe walking and biking skills). We can easily collect student biking/walking data by querying students as they enter one of three entrances to Lena. A pre and post project survey of parent's perceptions of safety will be obtained using the SR2S Walkability Survey. Do you intend to continue to collect data once the project is complete? With the help of Ul Recreation and Physical Education students, we will continue twice annual collection of the data above. Ul is well posed to conduct and produce evaluation data and can expand this effort to other schools in the district if desired. · Describe how Safe Routes to School will be an on-going effort within your community? We are proposing a project with built in sustainability. We will use only S R2S tools and resources available via the web ensuring quality and affordability. The newly formed SR2S School Team will receive the education needed to set and meet future goals. Hosting a community wide SR2S effort will increase support and bring diverse partners together to develop a 5 year SR2S plan. Integrating SR2S education into the Ul HPERD program guarantees a pool of volunteer student workers (and future physical activity/recreation professionals) who are SR2S educators and advocates. Coordination between law enforcement, schools and SR2S assures greater continuity of biking/walking safety education, encouragement and awareness. The funding provides opportunity for coordination and partnership between other entities interested in increasing biking/walking: the University, environmental groups, bicycle enthusiasts, recreation and parents and students. The City of Moscow has prepared a sidewalk inventory plan which shows where sidewalks are hazardous and where they are missing. This inventory has been submitted to the Transportation Commission for review and annual recommendation. The City annually budgets $25,000 for repair and installation of new sidewalks and will continue to support increased implementation and funding. The City also promotes walking/bike paths and has received previous grant funding to specifically develop these areas which is also an on-going project.

As chairman of the Kids Safety Fair Committee, I understand the value of programs that ensure greater safety for the kids in our community. That concept was the motivating factor behind my idea to bring together many community organizations that are uniquely equipped to support our youth. The Kids Safety Fair Committee strives to make kids safe by providing opportunities for education in areas such as software for parents to use in case they need to start an Amber Alert, bike and helmet safety, and our efforts, combined with the SR2S grant, would make our communities even safer for the kids who deserve it the most. I fully support programs that foster new awareness about kids safety, and that is why I support the City of Moscow's Safe Routes to School grant.
