Background Since the City Council endorsed the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) National Partnership Consensus Statement in February 2006, the local Safe Routes to School partnership between the City, Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD), and the Palo Alto Council of PTAs (PTAC) has encouraged thousands of school children to walk, bike, carpool, and take transit to school. Between 2012 and 2015 the City has worked with PAUSD and the PTA partners to finalize a set of Walk and Roll Maps, which identify the best routes for children to walk and bike to and from school. The Walk and Roll Maps highlight preferred routes for students to use on the journey between school and home, and a separate set of plans suggest current and future infrastructure improvements to enhance the safety and usability of these routes. On September 9, 2013, (CMR ID# 4040), Council adopted Walk and Roll Maps for ten Palo Alto public schools: Addison, Walter Hays, Palo Verde, Ohlone, Barron Park, Briones, Escondido, Duveneck, Terman Middle, and Gunn High (see Attachment A). This report recommends that the Council adopt the final set of these maps for the remaining schools. Discussion In October 2010, the City submitted an application for funding of non-infrastructure Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program enhancements through the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Vehicle Emission Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS) program. The City was awarded a City of Palo Alto Page 2 $528,000 grant that, added to the City’s $132,000 local match fund, provided for a $660,000 project that has significantly expanded the City’s Safe Routes to School program. Part of the grant funding was used to contract with Alta Planning + Design, Inc. to assist in the following activities: a) Walk and Roll Maps: Developing comprehensive Walk and Roll Maps of Suggested Routes to School for each of the 17 public schools in the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) and for the south Palo Alto neighborhood served by public schools in the City of Los Altos; b) School Safety Transportation Policies: Recommending new school transportation policy guidance for elements such as reduced speed limit zones (15 to 20 MPH) near schools and establishment criteria for adult crossing guards based on data collection and industry- standard best practices; c) Curriculum Updates: Evaluating and updating the existing bicycle safety education curriculum in PAUSD schools; and d) Evaluation: Assessing the impact of the Safe Routes to School program on improving school commute safety as well as reducing peak period congestion and related greenhouse gas emissions. An update on items b, c, and d is provided in CMR ID# 6786, heard this same evening. Walk and Roll Maps Update Over the past four years, the Safe Routes to School Partnership worked with residents and PAUSD staff to develop new Walk and Roll Maps that highlight the suggested routes to schools with consistent messaging and branding. An analysis of the walking and biking conditions at each school was conducted via observations, field surveys, and meetings with staff, parents, and neighbors. Parent input was solicited via meetings, a school district-wide survey, and school-specific requests for comments via email. Other factors included in the analysis at each school were intersection control, street walkability, and the Bicycle + Pedestrian Transportation Plan. Also noted were unsafe driver, pedestrian, and bicyclist behavior, as well as physical infrastructure needs. Development of the maps is the first significant effort to designate school routes for priority infrastructure improvements since the adoption of the School Commute Corridors Network in 2003. Staff is working to update the existing School Commute Corridors Network based on the new Walk and Roll Maps for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan Update. Maps are attached for the remaining schools (El Carmelo, Fairmeadow, Hoover, Nixon, JLS Middle, Jordan Middle, and Palo Alto High) and the Monroe Park neighborhood. (The Santa Rita/Monroe Park map is designed to match the existing Santa Rita Elementary School Safe Routes map.) In addition, due to a school boundary change, two additional schools, Addison and Walter Hays, have received updates to their Walk and Roll Maps, and these are also included in this report. These remaining Walk and Roll Maps are attached, including one City of Palo Alto Page 3 sample back page of the maps that is the same for each school (see Attachment B). The back side of the maps contains safety tips for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The Walk and Roll Maps are supplemented with Safe Route to School plans for near-term signage or marking improvements and long-term capital projects. Many of the Safe Routes signage and striping projects have already been implemented, and several more are planned for 2016 and 2017. In addition to helping to prioritize infrastructure improvements along the school route corridors, the City will be able to use the maps internally to coordinate with other public infrastructure work and utilities services. Timeline The Safe Routes to School program is an ongoing, year-round program, and the Walk and Roll Maps will be used to ensure that ongoing public safety improvements are coordinated with the school commute routes. Resources Adoption of the Walk and Roll Maps has no resource impact. Environmental Review The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301.

Executive Summary Over the past year the Safe Routes to School Partnership Program worked with residents to develop new Walk and Roll maps that highlight the suggested routes to schools for the community. Historically, suggested route to school maps were prepared by the Parent Teacher Associations of the individual schools. Through the VTA-funded VERBS grant program, the City has started to develop Walk and Roll maps for the community with consistent messaging and branding for Palo Alto. The Walk and Roll maps are also supplemented with Safe Route to School plans for near-term signage/marking improvements and long-term capital projects. In advance of the 2013-14 school year, the Safe Routes to School program has released the first 10 of 17 Walk and Roll maps for Palo Alto Schools. Elementary schools with completed Walk and Roll maps include: Addison, Walter Hays, Palo Verde, Ohlone, Barron Park, Briones, Escondido, and Duveneck. Terman Middle School and Gunn High School have also completed the map development process. Maps for the remaining schools and the Monroe Park neighborhood are in process or will be complete before the end of the current school year. Walk and Roll maps may be viewed online at: www.cityofpaloalto.org/saferoutes. Attachment A City of Palo Alto Page 2 Background The City of Palo Alto Safe Routes to School Program grew out of a community partnership with the Palo Alto Unified School District and Palo Alto Council of PTAs to reduce risks to students on their commutes to school and to encourage more families to walk, bike or choose other alternatives modes to driving more often. Since 1994, committed PTA volunteers as well as City and School District staff have collaborated to improve the safety of students traveling to school. This program aligns with the City’s Comprehensive Plan Goal T-6: A High Level of Safety for Motorists, Pedestrians, and Bicyclists on Palo Alto Streets. Under this goal, the Safe Routes to School effort is part of Program T-46 regarding educational programs for the safe use of bicycles and City-sponsored bicycle education programs in the public schools. Furthermore, Policy T-40 is supported by this program by prioritizing the safety and comfort of school children in street modification projects that affect school travel routes. In the Spring of 2012, the City of Palo Alto initiated an expanded Safe Routes to School program, with funding from a $528,000 two-year Vehicle Emissions Reductions Based at Schools (VERBS) grant from the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. The project will enhance the City's Five E's approach to Safe Routes to School programming: Education, Engineering, Enforcement, Encouragement, and Evaluation. The VERBS grant will allow the City to evaluate the existing conditions for students traveling to school, assess current education programs, develop new encouragement tools, explore policy changes to improve school commute safety, and map suggested routes for walking and bicycling to school for all 17 PAUSD schools. More information may be viewed at the Safe Routes website: www.cityofpaloalto.org/saferoutes. Discussion Beginning in the spring of 2012, the Safe Routes program staff began a process to partner with each Palo Alto Unified District school and associated PTA to develop Walk and Roll maps of suggested routes to school for pedestrians and bicyclists. An analysis of the walking and biking conditions at each school was conducted via observations, field surveys, and meetings with staff, parents, and neighbors. Parent input was solicited via meetings, a school district-wide survey, and school-specific requests for comments via email. In addition, the Gunn High School map was developed with student survey and interview data. Other factors included in the analysis at each school were intersection control, street walkability, and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan. Also noted were unsafe driver, City of Palo Alto Page 3 pedestrian, and bicyclist behavior, as well as physical infrastructure needs. Using the analysis of conditions at each school, staff has also generated a list of recommended improvements to the area near each campus. Safe Routes to School funds have been identified to implement near-term improvements such as signage and markings and a bid package for construction will be released this Fall. Staff is also coordinating improvement with the Resurfacing Program to build long-term capital facilities such as pedestrian ramps at intersections, the Bicycle & Pedestrian Transportation Plan 2012 implementation program for building of Bicycle Boulevard networks and other facilities to improve school commutes for students. The ten completed Walk and Roll maps are attached including one sample back page of the maps that is the same for each school. The routes have been designed and approved by the City’s Chief Transportation Official based on the input received above and based on additional technical expertise from a traffic consultant retained by the City through the VTA grant funding. The back side of the maps contains safety tips for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Environmental Review This project is exempt under Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act as it involves minor modifications, such as signage, wayfinding and striping, to existing right of ways.

Help your child choose the best walking or cycling route - it may not be the same way you would drive in a car! Children who regularly practice safe walking and biking skills when young are more likely to make safer choices as teenagers. Obey adult crossing guards. They are there to help you cross congested intersections safely. Wear your helmet and buckle it every time. It’s the law. To best protect your brain, your helmet must fit properly: snug and level on your head, just above your eyebrows. Be predictable. Avoid crashes as well as traffic tickets by following the same rules of the road that apply to car drivers when riding your bike. This includes obeying ALL stop signs and traffic signals, as well as yielding to pedestrians. Be alert. Watch out for drivers turning left or right, or cars coming out of driveways. Avoid doors being opened in front of you by riding out of the door zone. Be alert. Look for cars from all directions before entering the street - including from behind you. Cross at corners. This is where drivers expect you. Don’t assume drivers see you! Make eye contact - especially at intersections and driveways. Slow down in school zones. The safe speed may be below the 25 mph speed limit. Be aware of school commute routes. Children walking or biking to school help reduce traffic congestion - give them a brake and use extra caution. Young children think drivers can stop instantly and may not be able to judge speed or distance of vehicles moving toward them. Obey “No Right Turn on Red” signs where posted at school intersections. This allows students to cross safely without cars turning through the crosswalk. Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. Avoid making U-turns and other unsafe maneuvers. Never double park. Avoid blocking red curbs or disabled access ramps. Make sure your child gets out of your car on the curb side, not near traffic. Use booster seats to make adult seat belts safer for children younger than 8 years old or under 4’-9” tall. Set a good example by following instructions of crossing guards. Try to carpool whenever possible to help reduce traffic congestion near schools.

Use extra caution near younger students walking or biking to school. Obey adult crossing guards. They are there to help everyone cross congested intersections safely. Be predictable. Obey ALL stop signs and traffic signals. Never ride wrong way. The best way to avoid crashes as well as traffic tickets is to follow the same rules of the road as apply to car drivers. Be alert. Watch out for drivers turning left or right, or coming out of driveways. Avoid car doors opening in front of you by riding out of the door zone. Yield to pedestrians. Wear your helmet and buckle it every time. It’s the law. To best protect your brain, your helmet must fit properly: snug and level on your head, just above your eyebrows. Be visible. Use a bright headlight and taillight at night. Avoid texting, phone calls, or music while biking. Be alert. Look for cars coming from all directions before entering the street - including from behind you. Cross at corners and crosswalks. This is where drivers expect pedestrians. Don’t assume drivers see you. Make eye contact before crossing intersections. Slow down and use extra caution in school zones and along commute routes! Signal your turns and yield to pedestrians. Help reduce traffic congestion near JLS and neighboring schools by carpooling with a neighbor and avoiding the last minute rush whenever possible. Obey adult crossing guards and “No Right Turn on Red” signs posted at designated school intersections. This allows students to cross safely without cars turning through crosswalks. Don’t make U-turns and other unsafe maneuvers that put other road users at risk. When dropping off or picking up your student, follow school guidelines and always ensure that he/she exits or enters the car from the curb side. Never double park, block access ramps or stop where prohibited. Avoid texting, phone calls and other distractions when driving.
