Sheldon H.S. Traffic Operations <br /> It is recommended a sidewalk be constructed from the southeast corner of the school buildings <br /> along the east property line to the east access. A sidewalk is needed to encourage pedestrian <br /> travel around the perimeter of the parking area to destinations east of the campus. Students <br /> currently cut through the access and parking areas as a specific pedestrian way is not available. <br /> A pedestrian safety concern was identified at both site accesses. A significant number of students <br /> crossed Willakenzie Road outside of delineated crosswalks, through intersections, and between <br /> intersections creating hazardous conditions for themselves and motorists as well. Though this is <br /> not a deficiency in the transportation system, as good pedestrian facilities exist on Willakenzie <br /> Road, there may be a partial solution to the problem. It is estimated one third of the students <br /> crossing Willakenzie Road are traveling to the LTD bus stop on the south side of the street. <br /> Contact should be made with LTD planning staff to discuss reversing the bus route and placing a <br /> bus stop on the north side of Willakenzie Road near the school. This change and increased <br /> enforcement in the area may reduce the risk accidents in the school vicinity. <br /> • <br /> Branch Engineering - Page 6 <br />
