Spanish CoSF Meeting Notice Letter w map
Work in the area of “Route Assessment and Recommendations” is intended to address the E’s for “Engineering” as well as “Enforcement.” In many cases, infrastructure improvements will be key to making walking and bicycling more attractive and safe for Santa Fe’s children and families. Desirable improvements can be identified through review of past planning processes as well as inclusive assessment of walking and bicycling conditions on and around school campuses and elsewhere in the neighborhoods that they serve.
Typical engineering improvements that can be pursued to improve walking and bicycling routes to school include:
- Sidewalks
- Crosswalks
- Trails
- Signage, flashing lights
- Pavement markings
- Traffic calming, including bump-outs and median refuges for crosswalks
- Bike lanes or striped shoulders
The Santa Fe Safe Routes to School Program will work with teachers, families, students, and other partners to identify opportunities to improve walking and bicycling routes to focus schools and will work with the City, the Santa Fe Metropolitan Planning Organization, and Santa Fe Public Schools to program proposed improvements.
