148 ~ CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN <br />Alameda County Safe Routes to School staff observing conditions at McKinley Elementary <br />during a school site assessment. <br />pedestrian and bicycle rodeos and visits from the BikeMobile. Additionally, <br />participating schools can also have a School Site Assessment, where pick-up/ <br />drop-off conditions are observed and both programmatic and infrastructure <br />recommendations are provided to improve safety and efficiency at these <br />schools. The City can work with ACTC and their partners to host additional <br />site assessments at schools throughout the City. <br />Recommended New Pedestrian Programs <br />WALKING AUDITS <br />The City should consider holding periodic walking audits at locations with high <br />volumes of pedestrian collisions and key pedestrian areas/locations. These <br />events would bring together City transportation staff, police officers, bicycle <br />and pedestrian advocates, and community members to plan ways of improving <br />walking conditions and general safety at these locations. <br />LOCAL WALKING PROMOTIONS <br />Walk-your-child-to-school day, monthly community walking days, employer <br />lunchtime walks, and organized walk-to-transit campaigns are all examples of <br />simple initiatives that can simply and easily integrate walking into a variety of <br />lifestyles. <br />PEDESTRIAN MAP <br />As a companion piece to the existing San Leandro Bicycle Map, the City should <br />consider publishing a citywide pedestrian guide complete with safe walking <br />tips, key pedestrian zones, annual or recurring events such as festivals and <br />farmers markets, and contacts for additional walking information. <br />PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS <br />Education campaigns presented in the Bicycle section above, page 142, are <br />also applicable to pedestrian safety initiatives. <br />286
