TransportationCommission | 2005-12-14 | 8 | schools along with a number of parents to get feedback. Commissioner Knoth suggested that facilities at each school need to be surveyed to determine where there are cross walks and other facilities. Staff Hawkins said that staff is using Otis and Franklin schools as a pilot program to determine what needs to be looked at for the other schools. Commissioner Knoth said that lighted crosswalks are something that would be important at all schools. Currently some schools have them and some not. Staff Hawkins said that in-pavement lights are also going to be installed at 8th Street and Taylor Avenue. Where in-pavement lights are installed depends on if they meet the warrants. Chair Knox White mentioned that some schools have very vocal parents in getting thing done faster, and recommended finding a way to level the playing field. Commissioner Knoth said that everyone should have at least a minimum level of facilities and that there will be some cases where traffic deems other things. He asked if there was a timeline for the study. Staff Bergman stated that as far as part of the Pedestrian Plan staff would be collecting a lot of school data between now and the end of school year. Facilities have most of that already for locations such as; cross walks and signals along with crossing guards, and in pavement lights largely have not. Staff will also be looking at existing conditions and traffic patterns, such as conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. 9.
