Group narrows sidewalk priority to Safe Routes to Schools amid bus-route changes
Summary
Commission members suggested rewording a sidewalk goal to focus on Safe Routes to Schools after the school district is changing bus routes, noting many north-end neighborhoods lack sidewalks.
Members proposed narrowing sidewalk language to prioritize Safe Routes to Schools given planned changes to the district's busing. The Moderator said the plan should “just be specific to improve sidewalk access within the safe routes to schools” because many areas on the north part of town lack sidewalks and the district is changing busing next fall.
The recommendation was presented as a prioritization: staff would evaluate north-end locations identified by Safe Routes and consider them first even if other sidewalk needs exist elsewhere in the city.
