Three elementary schools in Moscow are within these areas and the youth must walk/b e on vehicular driving lanes of paved streets to get to school. The lack of sidewalks/paths in these neighborhoods is e biggest barrier in providing safe routes to school. In addition, these residential areas are divided by main arte · I streets \Vith unconnected sidewalks/path systems causing a lack of safe and defined routes to schools. Elementary schools in e district were designed for students to both walk/bike to school and have limited areas for drop-off and pick- of students before and after school. Because of these safety concerns, parents drive their children to and from ool causing traffic congestion in school zones which further erodes the ability to provide safe routes. A final bam is the lack of awareness of the health and ecological benefits of walking/biking in addition to the negative impacts children being individually driven to/from school. Students of these three schools serving grades -8th living in residential areas near Mountain View Road must walk/bike to school along the shoulder of this b arterial street. At this time, only 400 feet of a 1 ,200 foot section along this road has sidewalk for pedestrian tra I. Constructing the proposed improvements will provide a safe-continuous route to the existing pedestrian cross lks with flashers at the intersection of Street and Mountain View Road. There are three property owners do ting easements for this project and the City expects to have these documents in-hand by the end of February 2008 hich has been discussed with the lTD District 2 Planner. The route will be ADA accessible and provide a desi ated safe-travel route for students to/from residential areas, three schools, Eggan Youth Center, and Hamilton-Low Aquatics/Recreation Center where children attend after-school recreational activities. Completion of this system o ountain View Road will give parents peace of mind to know there is a safe route for their children to walk/bike and from school and after-school functions. ITO 0190, SR2S Concept Report, Rev. 1 1-07 Page 1 1 of 12 ---PAGE BREAK--- The City of Moscow's Police Department, Parks and Recreation, Public Works Engineering Department; and the University of Idaho's Health, Education, Recreation and Dance Department are working as a collaborative group to implement all aspects of the National Safe Routes to School program. The Moscow Transportation Commission, comprised of citizens, has formed a Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Subcommittee to assist with long-range planning and prioritization of sidewalk/path construction projects. SR2S parent and community groups have been formed to the promote education and encouragement components. The University of Idaho will be continuing their work with the non-infrastructure activities of education and encouragement by completing a travel plan for all K-S'h grade schools. The SR2S program is also being integrated into the University elementary teacher preparation and physical education courses. The University students will gain SR2S knowledge, prepare lessons and activities in classrooms and will become educators supportive of the program statewide. !TO 0190, SR2S Concept Report, Rev. 1 1-07 Page 12 of 12 ---PAGE BREAK--- VICINITY MAP S= ROUTES TO SCHOOL MO OW, IDAHO LATA OUNTY 1\l Á I I . ) I !

We are also pleased to be working in collaboration with the University ofldaho and the Moscow School District to implement this innovative national program into the educational system in our community. The health, safety and wellness of our youth is of utmost importance and is a high priority shared by all the project partners listed in our request. The area selected for infrastructure improvements is critical to the completion of the sidewalk and pathway on Mountain View and will provide continuity in our pedestrian walkway system in order to provide safe passage for our children traveling to and from school and other recreational programs within this area of the city. We want to thank you for this opportunity and we look forward to being an integral part of the implementation of this very important national program for youth.

Our faculty and students have enjoyed providing SR2S encouragement and educational activities and programming this past year to promote safe walking and biking to school. The roadway selected by the City of Moscow for infrastructure improvement is by far the greatest physical impediment to safe walking and biking to three of Moscow's local schools. Sidewalks and pathways are limited, forcing walkers and bikers onto the narrow shoulder. With the recent snow, the narrow shoulder has become an impassible three foot snow bank. This roadway bisects large and expanding residential developments from all schools in the district. CoJlcerned for safety, parents drive their children to school, creating additional hazards for biking and walking. Complete connectivity of this roadway will create a greatly needed safe walking/biking corridor. The University of Idaho has worked successfully with the City of Moscow to integrate the SR2S program into schools, the community and in local government. We feel we have a unique and effective relationship. The University is positioned to bring research-based educational and encouragement strategies to the program as well as integrating students interested in, health, recreation and physical activity and education into SR2S events and programs. For the upcoming year, SR2S funding will allow us to take a step further by incorporating SR2S program education and outreach activities into elementary education and physical education teacher training. Partnering with the City of Moscow's SR2S program offers our students an opportunity to translate knowledge and theory to real world experience to transform Moscow into a community that walks and bikes safely to school. :0 ennch educat1on through divers1ty, the L}n;vf:nlty of klaho '5 an equal opportunityi affirmat;ve act,on employer ---PAGE BREAK--- • • We look forward to working with the City of Moscow to expand SR2S educational and encouragement activities in schools throughout the district as well as working with the City of Moscow to develop long term SR2S plans and priorities. The SR2S Coordinator will take a lead role in supporting classroom teachers, physical education teachers, and SR2S Parent Teams and the SR2S subcommittee of the City of Moscow Transportation Commission. We will support the City of Moscow's infrastructure project by educating parents, students, school staff and the community about the available safe routes to all schools and by offering encouragement activities throughout the community to increase biking and walking along safe routes.

Donicht, Superintendent Sue Driskill, Business Manager Josephine O'Connor Safe Routes to School Coordinator Idaho Department of Transportation PO Box 7129 Boise ID 83707-1 129 Dear Ms. O'Connor: Kevin McDonough, Director of Special Services/Human Resources Dr. Cindy Bechinski, Director of Curriculum January 29, 2008 I am writing to lend the support of the Moscow School District 281 to the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) proposal submitted by the City of Moscow in cooperation with the University of Idaho. Pressing concerns of lack of sidewalks and pathways for walking and biking to school increase the congestion of traffic at each of our schools serving K-9 grade students. Traffic congestion is of great concern to us as it increases the risk of accidents, increases pollution and denies students the physical activity they need for their current and future health. This past year the City of Moscow targeted one elementary school to pilot SR2S in the District. Our students have enjoyed the education and encouragement activities provided by the SR2S project. We eagerly await the sidewalk and asphalt pathway that will be installed early this summer providing safer access to Lena Whitmore School. The City of Moscow's 2008-09 SR2S proposal includes a particularly busy and treacherous arterial street, Mountain View, with limited sidewalk that separates rapidly growing housing developments from two elementary schools and one junior high school (grades 7-9). Many students must travel this route and are forced to walk or bike along a narrow shoulder of the road. The SR2S funding will provide safe connectivity of this entire route and will greatly enhance opportunity to safely walk and bike to school. Moscow's proposal will also expand SR2S education and encouragement activities to all the District's schools with a particular focus on building SR2S sustainability through formation of school site SR2S Teams and active leadership from physical education teachers. The District will cooperate with and assist SR2S to develop these sustainable initiatives. The School District is eager to support the SR2S program to establish walking and biking to school as a safe, enjoyable, and health promoting activity for all students in the District. Please contact me if I can be of further assistance in outlining our support for the City of Moscow SR2S project. We are grateful for the opportunity the Idaho Department of Transportation provides to make all the District's students' travel to and from school safe, enjoyable, and healthy. ae Sincerely, Candis R.

Box 7129 Boise, ID 83707-1129 Dear Ms. O'Conner: As Chief of the Moscow Police Department, I am pleased to lend my support for the City of Moscow's "Safe Route to School" (SRTS) project and proposal. We are currently partnering with the SR2S project by offering increased patrol during "Walk to School" "events, in addition to working with SR2S to launch a "Safe Driving Campaign" project this spring to improve conditions for walking and biking to school. Our Officers provide local schools with safety lessons including walking and biking education, wearing proper safety equipment, obeying traffic signals, using proper crosswalks, and crossing guard training. Our Officers do increased safety patrols before and after school. We have two designated Motor Officers to assist our enforcement efforts and to increase safety of walking and driving habits. We are involved in the Kid's Safety Fair each year which includes a bike rodeo. Bicycles are checked for safety and repaired at no charge. Any child without a helmet is provided with one at no cost. Our Officers stress the importance of proper gear when walking or using bicycles such as reflective clothing, and helmets. Partnering and coordinating with the SR2S program will enhance our efforts to protect children as they walk and bike to school. We look forward to serving as a SRTS partner and to continue participating in educational and encouragement events, as well as enforcing safe driving throughout the school district. ---PAGE BREAK--- • • ' • The City of Moscow lacks sidewalks and pathways connecting students to their schools. Mountain View Road which is addressed by this proposal is of utmost concern to us. Some of our children are required to walk on this highly traveled road that does not have sidewalks. This is dangerous at any time of the year, but particularly during the winter months when it is dark, and children must walk in the street due to snow berms. A pedestrian was recently struck by a vehicle and killed on this stretch of roadway. Since the speed limit is 35 MPG it is extremely dangerous for children of smaller stature and more difficult to observe. Sidewalks are a must for the safety of our children. In addition to safety, connectivity of sidewalks and walkways along this corridor will substantially increase the likelihood of walking and biking to school. It will greatly enhance the safety of students traveling this route. We are committed to providing the enforcement needed to make this project successful and sustainable. Promoting safe walking and riding to school requires a community wide effort of interested and committed partners. Continued funding of the SR2S program in Moscow will enable our community to strategically plan and make needed improvements that will protect our youngest citizens for decades to come. We are committed to continued patrol enforcement to increase safe walking and biking to school. Please contact me if I can provide you with any further information in support of the City of Moscow's "Safe Routes to School" application and project.

Box 7129 Boise, ID 83 707-1 1 29 Dear Ms. O'Conner: I am pleased to support the City of Moscow's Safe Route to School (SR2S) proposal. Moscow Parks and Recreation is committed to supporting recreational and educational services to all citizens of our community and we have a particular interest in the health and well-being of our youngest citizens. This department is committed to community involvement, planning and implementation of projects and programs that improve accessibility and quality of life; partnering with the SR2S program fits in well with our mission and goals. Moscow Parks and Recreation is strategically located near three of the district's schools and one charter school. We have two major indoor recreational facilities as well as popular outdoor facilities serving the community's children after school and we offer recreational programming for the youth throughout the summer. We envision many opportunities to participate in the SR2S project; including but not limited to: participation in the City SR2S Team; integration of SR2S education and encouragement activities in our current program offerings and support for SR2S activities that will take place throughout the community such as the Safe Driving Campaign and Walk to School Day activities. We could also promote SR2S through our publications, web site and community activities and events. The City of Moscow's proposal to complete sidewalk and pathway connectivity along a heavily traveled and narrow roadway is of special concern to us. Daily we observe the high number of cars transporting students in vehicles due to the unsafe conditions of this roadway that bisects large residential areas from three schools and our facilities. The SR2S project will provide complete connectivity, needed signage and the education and encouragement activities to increase daily walking and biking. I look forward to working with the SR2S Team to improve the safety and quality of life for our community. Current efforts to increase biking and walking safety will be greatly enhanced by this funding opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can offer Main City Hall Paul Mann Building P.O.

In preparation for this proposal, engineering has worked with the SR2S Team to complete the preliminary engineering analysis and cost estimate for this project. The roadway selected for infrastructure improvement is of special concern for the City. This highly traveled arterial bi-sects large residential areas from which students attend three local schools, yet it does not provide safe walking and biking due to lack of sidewalks/pathways. Once funded, construction of this project will provide complete connectivity along eight heavily traveled city blocks. Completion of this project will greatly improve the safety of hundreds of children biking and walking to their schools and to neighboring recreational centers. The City of Moscow's Engineering Department was participated in the project site selection based on community concerns for safety, traffic volume and proximity to local schools. We are prepared to provide all engineering services, and administer and inspect the construction. We have vast experience with the standards of the Idaho Department of Transportation and will meet all required specifications. We look forward to continuing our work with the SR2S project. The City Public Works Division, Parks and Recreation, Law Enforcement; Moscow School District, and the University of Idaho are actively working together to increase safe walking and biking through engineering, enforcement, education, encouragement and evaluation.
