Safe Routes walk audit flags missing sidewalks, signage gaps at Davidson Middle and Laurel Dell

Oct 15, 2026

A March 2025 walk audit presented to BPAC identified missing sidewalks, narrow backside sidewalks, lack of crosswalk signage, and a recently reconfigured loading zone; no cost estimate was ready and staff said grant funding would likely be needed for construction.

The full story

Staff presented findings from a Safe Routes to School walk audit for Davidson Middle School and nearby Laurel Dell. The audit identified a missing sidewalk along an ancillary building frontage, a 4‑foot‑wide sidewalk behind the fields that staff said would benefit from widening to better accommodate students, and marked crosswalks that lack accompanying signage. The presentation noted the school had already implemented a targeted reconfiguration of its loading zone based on the audit recommendations.
