Safe Routes to School Plan

ing and bicycling in the neighborhood. Instead, it calls attention to key conflict points and potential improve ments. Recommendations range from simple striping changes and signing to more significant changes to the streets, intersections, and school infrastructure. Engineering recommendations are shown and described on the following page. It should be noted that funding is limited and all recommendations are planning level concepts only. Additional planning and engineering study will be needed to confirm feasibility and costs for all projects. Infrastructure improvements were prioritized accord ing to multiple factors, including community and stake holder input, traffic and roadway conditions, proximity to schools, and proximity to and use by equity priority populations. This prioritization process reflects a pre liminary ranking; additional prioritization and project evlauation will be necessary as funding is identified and projects move toward implementation.

recommendations, changes to the streetscape are essential to making walking, biking, and rolling to school safer and more comfortable. The initial field review and subsequent meetings yielded specific recommendations to address the key identified barriers to walking and bicycling near the Shakopee Public Schools campuses.
