Discussion Regarding Crosswalk Policy and Prioritization <br /> <br />Reh-Lin Chen presented information on the proposed crosswalk policies and guidelines. <br />The presentation included a set of proposed criteria that can be used to evaluate future <br />requests for crosswalks and pedestrian safety enhancements at intersections. <br /> <br />Committee Requests/Direction to Staff: <br />Mayor Cutter requests the following: 1) addition of the date of the request to the Crosswalk <br />Request List, as well as scoring at the time of the request; 2) record requests for each <br />location as well as when locations are scored as not eligible; and 3) post the final List online <br />on the Engineering & Transportation webpage so that residents can refer to it. <br />Councilmember Cox also requests to add street improvement project coordination <br />information to the List (Item I on current matrix). <br />Mayor Cutter asked staff to increase educational outreach to neighborhoods - review <br />prioritization policies and the process at town halls, at schools, at public neighborhood <br />meetings to increase awareness of City's process/FHWA criteria and recommendations. <br />She requests that K. Cooke send a response template to the Committee so when requests <br />come in, all Councilmembers respond with the same info that staff uses. <br />City Manager Zapata recommends utilizing equal rating/scoring for all schools and not rating <br />dependent on whether the location is adjacent to crosswalk. <br />Mayor Cutter wants outreach about scoring/requests to be done throughout the City so <br />resources are distributed throughout the City and not concentrated in one <br />district/area/neighborhood. Providing objective scoring will facilitate discussion with <br />residents about their concerns. <br />Mayor Cutter recommends inclusion of Safe Routes to School crosswalk outreach <br />educational brochure (how to cross safely, ride safely, etc.) with beginning of the school year <br />packets for all schools. Send OTS “pedestrians don't wear armor” bookmarks to library for <br />summer reading program and also school sites for distribution at book fairs, etc. <br /> <br />2.B. Project Updates <br />City Engineer Nick Thom updated the Committee on ongoing CIP projects. <br /> <br />2.B.1.
