SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION Pedestrian crashes near elementary and middle schools are a particular concern for communities across the nation that want to provide safe conditions for walking and cycling to school. In a 2004 CDC nationwide survey of parents, traffic-related danger was the second most common reason cited for not allowing children to walk to and from school. The practice of driving children to and from school has, in turn, often contributed to traffic conditions around schools tending to reduce child pedestrian safety. The practice of driving children to and from school has also decreased physical activity in school aged children. In many schools, recess has been eliminated and gym classes are not conducted on a daily basis. Due to this decreased physical activity, many health problems have been diagnosed in children, including diabetes, sleep apnea and depression. There are many reasons parents are reluctant to allow their children to walk to school. Ultimately it is the parents who make the choices. However, if children were allowed to choose, most say that they would rather walk. But parents drive them because they fear traffic dangers, or they worry about strangers bothering or kidnapping their children. Although these are valid reasons for not allowing children to walk or bike to school, there are many benefits from a Safe Route to School program:

• Children who are active are alert and do well in school. • Being active improves self-image and independence. • Physical activity prevents obesity and promotes healthy heart and lungs,

lessening the risk of cardiovascular disease. • Children who are out and about in their neighborhoods develop an understanding

and comfort with their surroundings, and learn to make their way in the world. • If fewer children are driven to school, fewer car trips are needed, thus reducing

air pollution, noise pollution, and other environmental impacts of driving. • Increasingly congested roads take a toll on the emotional well-being of adults.

One less car trip gives a parent or guardian some breathing space in his or her day.

• When parents and children walk even a block or two together on the trip to school, the benefit of quality time comes in tandem with improved fitness.

• “Eyes on the street” is a phrase that describes a neighborhood where people watch the daily activities. When more people are out and about, having more eyes on the street helps to prevent crime.

The number of walkers and bikers compared to those living within a one mile radius of school is small for most schools in Perrysburg. To increase the number of walkers and bikers, safer routes along with education, enforcement and encouragement are needed. The City of Perrysburg and Perrysburg Schools are committed to engaging in the SRTS process to increase the number of walkers and bikers.

The City of Perrysburg is located in northern Wood County and is suburb of Toledo. The city’s population was estimated at 17,042 in 2007. The population of Perrysburg Township brings the population total to 30,747. See location map below.

Figure 1 - Location Map

Perrysburg City Schools consist of six buildings – Fort Meigs Elementary (PK-5), Frank Elementary (PK-5), Toth Elementary (PK-5), Woodland Elementary (PK-5), Perrysburg Middle School (Grades 6-8) and Perrysburg High School (Grades 9-12). One parochial school is located in the City of Perrysburg – St. Rose (Grades K-8). The current student population in the Perrysburg School district is 4,355. Elementary aged children number 1,860. St. Rose School adds another 450 students attending school in Perrysburg although not all students live within the Perrysburg school district boundary. All of the elementary schools are located north of I-475 and west of I-75 while over half of the school district area is located south and east of these two highways. Most of the developable land is located in the southern half of the school district. In 2006, the elementary schools were redistricted to provide better students ratios in all buildings. This redistricting does require many children that would be eligible to walk to a neighboring school to be bused to an elementary building that is farther away. The elementary locations and their respective boundaries are shown on the next page.

SECTION 3: PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS The Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is led by the City Engineer – Doug Dariano. Mr. Dariano has been working closely with the school principals, transportation staff, and various members of the superintendent’s office. On September 29, 2008 a kickoff meeting was held in City Council Chambers. In attendance were representatives of each school, the superintendent’s office, the police department and the city engineering staff. The SRTS process was presented to the group, survey forms were given to each school and questions from the group were answered. Surveys were distributed in November and December of 2008. The survey data was then input into the National Safe Routes to School Database. The data input was completed in January and February of 2009. The results of the surveys can be found in Section 12: Supporting Documentation. Comments from the parent surveys are included in the supporting documentation. Key comments include:

• Crossing guards are elementary students who tend to be indecisive.

• I feel walking/biking is healthy and fun but not at the cost of having a traffic accidents. I also do not feel comfortable to allow my children to be without adult supervision.

• Our neighborhood has ½ mile of no sidewalk and high traffic.

• Picking up after school is not the easiest.

• My child would have to cross SR 795 if she walked to school.

• My child has to cross 795 and there are no sidewalks on White.

• There is a 50 mph road on the route to school

• We would have to cross a very busy road. Safety is the main reason our children don’t walk/ride to school.

• Crossing guard needed at Eckel Junction and Hunters Run.

• The sidewalk along Ft Meigs Rd is too close to road and creek. The following comments pertain to busing, walking and redistricting:

• We live 1.1 miles from Ft Meigs but sent across town – walking or biking is NOT an option!

• Due to overcrowding at the closest school we bus to Toth.

• We would walk if we were allowed to attend our neighborhood school.

• My child has never walked or rode a bike to a school as we do not live in his school’s district. The back of our neighborhood is bussed to a different school and he passes 2 schools on the way.

• There are 3 closer schools to my location.

• The way the dysfunctional boundaries exist, force the Frank and Woodland students to spend way too much time on the bus.

School site visits were conducted in February 2009; these visits consisted of observing the normal departure of students from the campus, talking with building staff and performing field reconnaissance of the campus. In March 2009, a public campaign including newspaper articles and postings on the City’s website was conducted. The Perrysburg-Messenger Journal ran an article on the City –Wide Safe Routes to School program. Readers were directed to the City of Perrysburg website for a downloadable fact sheet and survey. For readers wishing to participate without going to the website, the fact sheet and survey were available at the Board of Education and the Engineer’s office for pickup. All surveys were to be returned by March 31, 2009 to the Mayor’s office. A copy of the article is shown below. The newspaper article along with the fact sheet and survey can be found in Section 12-Supporting Documents.

The school campus is shown below.

Figure 5 - Fort Meigs Elementary Campus

The following comments were made in regard to safety and transportation procedures at Fort Meigs Elementary:

� Bus loop and parent pickup/departure are separated. � On-street parking is permitted on Eckel Junction Road. � Parents use the Rivercrest Park parking lot to pick up students thus avoiding the

carpool line. This causes two significant streams of traffic very close together. � Many students cross Eckel Junction at Hunters Ridge. No safety patrol is

provided at this location. � Flashing “20 mph” school speed limits signs are provided on Fort Meigs Road. � “20 mph” signage is provided on Eckel Junction – no flashing beacons. � A signal will be installed in the summer of 2009 at Fort Meigs/Eckel Junction.

• Cars were lined up in the carpool pickup at 3:15 pm for the 3:25 pm departure. The pickup area closest to Locust was observed.

• Several staff members were on hand to assist with pickup. The younger children were escorted to their vehicle and were even helped in if needed. The staff needed to tell parents to move up when space cleared out. They all want to stop right where the sidewalk comes from the door.

• A van was parked in the temporary no parking area which caused backups. Vehicles queued up behind this van not realizing that it was parked. Then they had to go around. The traffic line backed up to the 7th/Locust intersection and into it briefly. I was told that this was a very good day – most days there are longer backups and issues with parents not wanting to move up.

• There were many parents that walked to the school to retrieve their child.

• Bus departure was not observed but since the traffic around the school is very light I assumed that it went smoothly.

• Parents told me that there are six pedophiles in the neighborhood so their children do not walk to school alone.

Other Information

• Toth has a walking track that was built with donations. Several Toth parents work for construction companies that assisted in the construction. The track was installed in 2006. The school has a walking club in the fall and spring – children earn feet charms during their recess time. The class that walks the most each week gets the big sneaker award. (the shoe was donated by a high school student and the shoe was painted like a tiger – the Toth mascot)

• The principal noted that any walkers that approach the school from the south on Locust or Elm are encouraged to walk to 7th street and cross with the safety patrol. She said that most do this.

• Signs were found to be both yellow-green fluorescent and the standard warning yellow.

• Cars were lined up in the carpool pickup at 3:15 pm for the 3:25 pm departure. The carpool activity lasted approximately 10 minutes.

• Several staff members were on hand to assist with pickup.

• Signs are posted asking vehicles to move up. When carpool begins, the entire length of the sidewalk is filled. As the students left decreases, the cars are not asked to move up as far.

• There were several parents that parked and walked to the building to retrieve their child.

• Approximately 10 walkers were observed. Other Information

• White Road does not have sidewalks in several locations close to the school.

• Warning signs noting the school entrance are posted on SR 795.

• The speed limit on SR 795 is 45 mph.

• New curb and parking lot improvements are to be constructed in the summer of 2009.

• Signs were found to be both yellow-green fluorescent and the standard warning yellow.

District Transportation Policies In general, students that live more than one mile from their assigned elementary school are bused. The building boundaries are aligned so that most elementary students do not cross the heavier traveled state routes. Hazard busing is provided for these students. For St. Rose, all students living within the Perrysburg School District are eligible for busing. The neighboring school districts of Rossford, Eastwood and Maumee provide busing per state law. Students attending from non-adjoining districts must provide their own transportation.

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 37

Distance From School Fort Meigs: Approximately 78 percent of all students live within one mile of school with 12 percent walking or biking to school. Frank: Approximately 48 percent of all students live within one mile of school with 23 percent walking or biking to school. St Rose: Approximately 11 percent of all students live within one mile of school with one percent walking or biking to school. Toth: Approximately 46 percent of all students live within one mile of school with less than 10 percent walking or biking to school. Woodland: Approximately 41 percent of all students live within one mile of school with less than six percent walking or biking to school. On average 45 percent of students live within one mile of their assigned school with an average of 10 percent actually walking or biking. Fort Meigs has the highest percentage of students living within one mile however not the highest percentage of walkers and bikers. Frank has the highest percentage of walkers and bikers at nearly 50 percent of all eligible students. St Rose has the lowest actual walkers and bikers and the lowest eligible walkers and bikers. This can be attributed to the being a parochial school.

SECTION 7: BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION Walking audits were conducted in May 2009 and will be discussed for each individual school. In general, the walking audits revealed that many of the students eligible to walk to school have sidewalks and opportunities to cross lower to medium traveled streets. However, safe routes are not provided in all neighborhoods. Crossing guards are provided at most of the major street intersection crossings within school areas. However, several locations require additional attention. Schools are presented in alphabetical order. Fort Meigs Elementary At Fort Meigs Elementary, buses have a designated area located on the east side of the school for arrival and dismissal. Parent pick-up/drop-off is located along the west side of the school. The parent pick-up/drop-off area is a “U” shape that has separate entrance and exit drives. Parking for Rivercrest Park is located adjacent to the parent pick-up/drop-off lot. Some parents use the park to pick up their children to avoid waiting in the carpool line. The proximity of the school and park drives creates conflict at the end of the school day. Most students walk to the west and must cross both the school and park drives. Safety patrol is provided at the school drive only. See Figure 8.

Cars were noted parked along Eckel Junction Road in front of the school. A portion of this area is signed “No Parking” and “No Stopping”. The intersection project will provide signage that prohibits parking along Eckel Junction from Stratford Lane to Fort Meigs. The vehicles sitting along the side of the road present a sight distance problem for students crossing at Stratford Lane School staff members noted that the area is very congested in the morning and after school and that it is hard to see students crossing.

Page 41: PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN - dot.state.oh.us · PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 1 SECTION 1: THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL TEAM The Perrysburg Safe Routes to School Task

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 39

Parent comments indicated that many students cross at Eckel Junction/Hunters Run, just west of the school. This area is very congested after school and parents have noted that crossing protection of some sort would be preferred. School staff indicated that they ask the children to cross at the safety patrol located at Eckel Junction/Stratford. Most students exit the building on the west and rather than backtrack to Stratford, they travel west before crossing at Hunters Run. Large numbers of students were observed crossing the two school parking lot drives as well as the park drive to get to the crosswalk at Hunters Run. At the time of the walking audit, the intersection of Fort Meigs and Eckel Junction was four-way stop controlled. The stop condition creates long backups during peak hours of the day. These peak hours include school arrival and departure times. Construction is underway to provide left turn lanes and signalized control. Sidewalk is provided along Fort Meigs Road to the southern neighborhoods. The school is separated from this neighborhood by I-475. The sidewalk along Fort Meigs Road is located between the I-475/US 23 bridge piers and the edge of the road. A guardrail is provided to separate the walk from the road. A curb separates the walk from the piers. Parent comments indicate that the underpass is dark.

Overgrown brush and non-bicycle friendly fencing are located along Fort Meigs Rd both to the north and south of the school.

Multiple bike racks are located on the school grounds. On the day of the audit, the west bike racks were filled beyond capacity. Because the majority of the bike riders live north and west of the school, the bike racks on the east side are rarely full.

Page 42: PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN - dot.state.oh.us · PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 1 SECTION 1: THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL TEAM The Perrysburg Safe Routes to School Task

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 40

The residential area northeast of Fort Meigs Elementary has minimal sidewalks and limited street lighting. Adult crossing guards are provided at Fort Meigs/Heilman and Fort Meigs/Sutton Place. New subdivisions in this area have sidewalks while Heilman does not. Heilman connects newer subdivisions to Fort Meigs Road. It was noted that school zone signs are present around Fort Meigs Elementary. However, the signs vary in color and style.

Frank Elementary Limited curb cuts (ADA accessible ramps) are available around the vicinity of the school for pedestrians, bicyclists, strollers and wheel chairs. Concrete sidewalk is located on all sides of the school with conditions rating from excellent to good. Multiple bike racks are located on the school grounds. Students riding bikes were observed to not follow the sidewalk but rather to cut across the grass in a direct path from the school building corner to the signalized crossing. At Frank Elementary, buses have a designated area located in the front (south side) of the school for arrival and dismissal. The majority of parents will pick-up/drop-off students in the parent drop-off area accessed by Mulberry Street, on the west side of the school. The separate drop-off areas help to alleviate overcrowding of vehicles around the school. The parent drop-off area does occasionally have traffic back up into Mulberry Street though.

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 41

Crosswalk lines are barely visible at the intersections and designated crossings due to fading.

School Signal Findlay Street Crossing

Numerous busy roads are within the Frank Elementary district. Along with the traffic, other safety concerns are obstructed driveways, faded or non-existent crosswalks and broken sidewalks that present trip hazards.

There is one protected crossing along W. South Boundary St. located at Margaret Pl. This intersection has a signal and crossing guard. Students living in the southwest portion of the school boundary stated that they prefer to cross at the intersection of W. South Boundary and Twinbrook Drive if gaps to cross are available. This intersection is outside of the school zone and it is not properly marked for pedestrians to safely cross.

Signalized Crossing w/Adult Guard Preferred Student Crossing

It was noted that school zone signs are present around Frank Elementary. However, the signs vary in color and style. Students living south of the school have a long route to school if following public sidewalks. Although students in these neighborhoods live within a 1 mile radius of the school campus, their walk is much longer due to disconnected neighborhoods. Bicentennial Park provides some connectivity between neighborhoods but the distance to school following sidewalks is winding and long.

Figure 19 – Neighborhood South of Frank Elementary

St. Rose Elementary Drop off/pick-up locations for busses and parents are separated to avoid conflicts. All busses line up along the south side of the building while carpool vehicles line up in the parking area along the east side. Students are dismissed to their parent’s vehicle through a role call method after all the bus students have been dismissed. An adult crossing guard is located at E. Front and Elm.

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 43

There are multiple areas within the walking distance of St. Rose where shrubbery is overgrown and interferes with the sidewalks. Some intersections do not have sidewalks with ADA ramps to cross the road. Most of the sidewalks at the railroad crossings are too steep to meet ADA requirements and are not signalized. The pavement markings along Front St. are faded.

Although the pavement appears to be wide enough, a turn lane is not painted on Front Street at the eastern entrance to St. Rose Elementary. This tends to back traffic up to the west. Toth Elementary Two adult crossing guards are used, one at the intersection of E. Seventh and Louisiana and one at E. Seventh and Sandusky. Safety patrol is used along E. Seventh at Elm and Locust. Bus drop-off is separated from parent drop-off/pick-up with the bus drop-off/pick-up on the west side of the school and the parent drop-off/pick-up on the east side. The parent drop-off/pick-up area frequently backs up in both directions along Locust St. The kindergarten drop-off/pick-up is located at the east end of the building with older students entering vehicles further inside the campus.

Multiple bike racks are available to students that choose to ride to school. The date of the walking audit occurred during “Bike to School Week”.

Each railroad crossing in town (with the exception of the Louisiana Avenue crossing) is similar to this one. There are no pedestrian crossing gates and most crossings are not signalized. Toth is lcoated in the older portion of Perrysburg where alleys are present between streets. Students indicated that they use the alleys when walking to/from school or when travelling to the Commodore Building for school functions. Many alleys are hidden by plant growth or fencing that is near the sidewalk. The walks throughout the surrounding area of Toth Elementary are older and in need of general maintenance. Crosswalks are either faded or have never been striped. Some curb ramps do not line up with each other such as the one located at the northwest corner of the school. Toth students living south of South Boundary have a pedestrian refuge island to cross South Boundary near Locust and Partridge. The crosswalk markings are faded and more pedestrian signage would provide visibility to the crossing.

PERRYSBURG SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN AUGUST 1, 2009 45

Woodland Elementary Adult crossing guards are not used. Safety patrol is provided at the crosswalk on White Road directly in front of the school. No sidewalk is provided on the south side of White Road west of the school. Bus drop-off/pick-up is separated from parent drop-off/pick-up. Construction will start in the summer of 2009 to repair the south parking lot, add curb and remove the circle around the flag pole. See Figure 12.

Bike racks are provided to the students and are located on the south side of the building.

The parents enter the school property for pick-up/drop-off via SR 795. Left turns are prohibited after school. S.R. 795 is a heavily travelled four lane roadway with a speed limit of 50 mph. All students that live north of S.R. 795 are bussed. There are no crossing locations or school zones for students to cross S.R. 795. School entrance signs are posted on SR 795.

White Rd. has sidewalks along the north side of the road with the school property limits. School zone signs are located along White Rd. As noted previously for other schools, the sign colors vary. In general, most of the safety concerns for the Woodland walking and biking students are in the areas north of S.R. 795. Many of the streets north of S.R. 795 are located in Perrysburg Township and sidewalks are not present.

SECTION 8: CREATING SOLUTIONS AND COUNTERMEASURES A comprehensive solutions strategy was developed for each school consisting of a toolbox of general solutions along with benefits of each solution. Strategies were developed for each of the 5 E’s (Engineering, Encouragement, Education, Enforcement, and Evaluation). Further detail can be found in the engineering report for engineering countermeasures. In the immediate school campus areas, Perrysburg provides a sidewalk network on most streets. While the schools have common solutions that can be utilized such as signage and pavement marking upgrades, each campus also has unique countermeasures to be employed for safer walking and biking. In general, many students walk or bike to school especially in good weather. The schools need to encourage and promote walking and biking in all kinds of weather. This will help reduce the number of parent vehicles dropping off and picking up. Reduction of parent vehicles will improve the air quality at each school building. Engineering improvements may help reduce hazard bussing. Until additional school buildings are constructed in newer residential areas, many students will continue to be bussed due to distance. Strategies that allow bussed students to engage in walking to school are included. Law enforcement can quickly help change unsafe behaviors around school campuses. These changes will make walking and biking more attractive to students and parents will feel more comfortable allowing their students to walk or bike. Educational programs are most closely linked to encouragement programs although they are also complement enforcement and engineering. Encouragement

• Walking School Bus – Team up students that live along a route to walk together.

• Walk to School Days – Encourage all students to walk one day a week.

• Walk and Park Days – Encourage families that drive to school to park at a remote location and walk to the building. Start monthly and work towards weekly to reduce parent vehicles at school.

• Remote Dropoff Days – Bus drops students at the remote location and students walk with staff members to the building. Allows students that must be bussed to participate.

• Walking or Mileage Club – Students earn a reward for miles walked during recess or after school. (Toth and Woodland have already)

• Fitness Club – After school program to keep kids moving. (Toth and Frank have already)

• Ride to School Week – Encourage bike riding over a one week period. (Toth Spring 2009)

SECTION 10: THE ACTION PLAN The Perrysburg SRTS Task Force has developed an action plan that prioritizes the action items discussed in this plan. Non-infrastructure projects are as or more important as the infrastructure projects. In fact, encouragement and educational programs complement some of the engineering projects. Table 1 shows the Non-Engineering portions of the plan. These items are generally very low in cost and provide a very high Return on Investment (ROI).

Table 1 – Action Non-Engineering (All Schools)

Fort Meigs, Frank, Toth and Woodland have received ODOT SRTS grants to

participate in Walk to School day. The activity will take place on October 14, 2009.

The Task Force evaluated the infrastructure projects and determined the list of priorities. The rating for prioritizing projects were based on proximity to school, greatest number of students utilizing improvements, the greatest safety impact, and the return on investment (ROI). The list was determined by utilizing the task forces’ visual observations, the walking audit, survey results, and the engineer’s recommendations. Table 2 shows the action plan for engineering projects for Fort Meigs and Frank Elementary Schools.
