3 Executive Summary Purpoe and Need The purpoe of the Brunwick Safe Route to School (SRTS) Plan i to encourage chool age children to travel to chool by mean other than a motorized vehicle, pecifically active tranportation mode uch a walking and biking. The benefit of promoting active tranportation include encouraging increaed phyical activity and developing healthy habit, developing a ene of freedom, reponibility, and afety within the children, and upporting an environmentally friendly activity while creating a afer area around chool. The Safe Route to School Plan utilize on the following five E : 5 E' of Safe Route to School Education Engineering Encouragement Enforcement Evaluation Background Thi report will focu on the Engineering apect and will provide recommendation for the Brunwick SRTS that focu on infratructure improvement a well a non-infratructure trategie that complement improving walkability and bikeability in and around chool area. Thi include but i not limited to reviewing and making recommendation for idewalk, crowalk, interection, ign, and pavement marking to encourage active tranportation and improve afety. DLZ conducted the a part of the School Travel Plan for the following four chool: 1) Hickory Ridge Elementary School 2) Viintainer Middle School 3) Edward Middle School 4) St. Ambroe Catholic Grade School Viintainer and Edward Middle School are located adjacent to each other. See the map on the following page for the chool location in relation to each other. 1

4 Thi tudy include a review of crah record from , reult from a walk audit, identification of exiting condition, and determination of engineering countermeaure and olution. Specific improvement uggetion were developed for each chool to addre hort, medium, and long term need of tudent to encourage walking and biking. An emphai will be placed on low cot, hort term olution that could eaily be implemented within the immediate vicinity of each chool. Recommended Improvement and Cot Infratructure improvement for the four chool include: Upgrading ign and pavement marking, Intalling ADA curb ramp, interection afety improvement, contructing new idewalk, and Intalling bike rack. The cot aociated with all propoed infratructure improvement total $680,100 for all four chool. 2

5 Introduction The City of Brunwick i located in Medina County, Ohio. Brunwick i an outer ring uburb of Cleveland and the majority of the city i located wet of Intertate 71. Within the City of Brunwick, key individual involved with the community and the chool ditrict were taked with creating a ucceful SRTS Program. The core group of takeholder involved in creating the Brunwick School Travel Plan are: Carl DeForet, Brunwick Police Ryan Cumming, Conulting City Engineer Lia Werner, School Nure Brian Lemmer, Phyical Education Teacher Hickory Ridge Gloria Hallman, Parent/School Employee The Brunwick School Travel Plan ha identified four chool within the chool ditrict to target for thi tudy. Information for each chool i lited below. operating hour: 8:40-2:55 grade: K - 5 enrollment: 414 8% walker/biker 4628 Hickory Ridge Dr. Hickory Ridge Elementary operating hour: 8:25-2:55 grade: 6-8 enrollment: 528 2% walker/biker 1459 Pearl Rd.

6 Public Input Proce At the three public chool, Hickory Ridge, Viintainer, and Edward, public meeting were not held. Intead, the aitant uperintendant poke at PTO meeting and the forum for public comment wa at a Board of Education meeting. Stakeholder were individually interviewed and parent were urveyed for comment. At St. Ambroe, parent open houe night and chool adviory board meeting were ued to dieminate information and allow comment. Stakeholder were given a window to ubmit formal comment. Some of the primary iue identified by the public input proce include: Concern over lack of idewalk, Buy treet uch a Pearl Road (US 42) and Center Road (SR 303), Buy interection difficult to cro, Pedetrian/vehicle conflict point on chool ground, Inufficient ignage and pavement marking both on chool property and on the treet ytem. Planned Tranportation Improvement The Northeat Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) i adminitering a federally funded $4.9 million traffic ignal improvement in the City of Brunwick. The plan include upgrading or modifying approximately 27 traffic ignal, primarily on Pear Road (US 42) and Center Road (SR 303), including the interection of Pearl Road and Center Road. The project will provide for coordinated traffic ytem a well a accommodation for emergency vehicle. The project i cheduled for contruction in fical year

7 Exiting Condition DLZ collected an inventory of exiting condition for each chool and the urrounding area. School arrival and dimial were oberved at all four location on November 7, 10, and 18, 2011, by a team coniting of Julie Cichello (ODOT Ditrict 3 SRTS Coordinator), Melia Bukowki (Chagrin Valley Engineering), and member from DLZ. DLZ alo conducted walk audit on and around chool property on November 18, ODOT provided map of tudent reidence location in relation to their repective chool. Thi information i available in Appendix C. Hickory Ridge Elementary Hickory Ridge Elementary i located in a ubdiviion well off the main treet of the community. The chool it wet of Pearl Road and North of Center Street. Street leading to the chool are two lane reidential treet with frequent top-controlled interection. Sidewalk are preent adjacent to chool property to the north, outh, and wet but end approximately 400 feet to the eat of the chool drive. The chool recently underwent renovation which reulted in a new building to the wet of the exiting tructure, an expanded parking lot, and a new, larger playground. The chool houe jut over 400 tudent in grade K 5. There are no traffic ignal in the area around the chool. School zone ign are preent along Hickory Ridge Road but they do not contain flahing light. There i a idewalk along the main vehicle entrance to the chool off of Hickory Ridge Road. There are alo two pedetrianonly path that tem from the wetern end of the chool near the playground and extend to Mullberry Lane to the eat and Butternut Drive to the outh. All three path have limited conflict point with vehicle. The notable exception i the main idewalk that accee Hickory Ridge Road croe the entrance to the faculty/taff parking lot. Student croing guard patrol thi conflict point during arrival and dimial. Alo, a teacher act a a croing guard at the chool entrance on Hickory Ridge Road. Vehicle Queue at Dimial Crowalk Jut Eat of Stearn Walk from Hickory Ridge Rd Bue and peronal vehicle hare the ame traffic flow pattern during arrival and dimial, however bue get firt priority and therefore vehicle mut queue along the entrance drive and onto Hickory Ridge Road until all bue have departed. Vehicle are encouraged to enter chool property by making a right turn from Hickory Ridge Road. Path to the Wet of School 5

8 Viintainer Middle School Viintainer Middle School i located on Pearl Road (US 42) and hare a campu with Edward Middle School and the ditrict bu garage. Alo preent are the tranportation office and middle chool athletic field. There i a hopping center directly acro Pearl Road. The campu i jut outh of the buy Pearl Road/Center Road interection. A majority of the tudent at Viintainer live northwet of the Pearl Road/Center Road interection and therefore mut cro the interection if walking or biking. The chool houe about 530 tudent in grade 6 8. Functional chool zone ign with flahing light are preent along Pearl Road. There are three drive that acce Viintainer off of Pearl Road and one on Manhattan Avenue jut north of the chool. The middle drive on Pearl Road i ignalized with pedetrian ignal preent. Sidewalk are preent in front of the chool on both ide of Pearl Road, to the north and outh of chool property, and on chool ground. The idewalk on Pearl Road end everal hundred feet outh of the chool campu. There i no direct acce (via idewalk, path, or roadway) to the reidential neighborhood located jut outh and eat of the campu. The majority of the reidential road near the chool lack idewalk. There are everal pedetrian/vehicle conflict point on chool property due to the numerou facilitie and ize of the campu. A teacher i ued a a croing guard at the ignalized entrance to the chool. Walker and biker are encouraged to enter chool property here; however there are no idewalk from Pearl Road to the chool. A bike rack wa not een during DLZ field viit. Bue and vehicle are encouraged to utilize the ame entrance and exit during arrival and dimial, that i enter at the ignalized driveway and exit at the northern-mot drive on Pearl Road. Bue line up in the parking lot cloet to the building while vehicle line up in the area of the parking lot cloet to Pearl Road. DLZ did oberve during the morning arrival period that vehicle entered at the northern-mot drive and exited at the ignalized drive.

9 Edward Middle School Edward Middle School i located on Pearl Road (US 42) and hare a campu with Viintainer Middle School and the ditrict bu garage. Alo preent are the tranportation office and middle chool athletic field. There i a hopping center directly acro Pearl Road. The campu i jut outh of the buy Pearl Road/Center Road interection. A majority of the tudent at Edward live outh of the chool. Edward houe about 520 tudent between 6 8 grade. Bike Rack Functional chool zone ign with flahing light are preent along Pearl Road. The ame three drive that acce Viintainer off of Pearl Road provide acce to Edward a well. The parking lot for the two chool are connected. Sidewalk are preent in front of the chool on both ide of Pearl Road, to the north and outh of chool property, and on chool ground. The idewalk on Pearl Road end everal hundred feet outh of the chool campu. There i no direct acce (via idewalk, path, or roadway) to the reidential neighborhood located jut outh and eat of the campu. The majority of the reidential road near the chool lack idewalk. There are everal pedetrian/vehicle conflict point on chool property. A teacher i ued a a croing guard at the ignalized entrance to the chool. Walker and biker are encouraged to enter chool property here; however there are no idewalk from Pearl Road to the chool at thi location. There i one idewalk from Pearl Road to Edward but it provide acce to door on the building that are ued for emergency exit only. A bike rack i preent jut north of the chool but there i no direct idewalk to the rack. Bike rider mut utilize the gra or the outhern-mot drive to get to the rack. DLZ oberved many walker, epecially during dimial. The preferred path of the walker i to exit the building to the north and then walk acro the front lawn of the chool until they reach Pearl Road to head outh. Bue enter at the ignalized driveway and queue in the parking lot jut north of the chool. Vehicle enter the outhern-mot drive (which i only acceible via a right turn from northbound Pearl Road, not a left turn from outhbound Pearl Road) and queue in thi drive. Both exit the ignalized driveway. Bue have the right of way upon exiting. Sign Giving Right of Way to Bue Bue Exiting Vehicle Queue at Dimial 7

10 Saint Ambroe Grade School St. Ambroe i located on Pearl Road north of the Pearl Road/Center Road interection. Pearl Road i commercial around the chool; however the land ue off of Pearl Road i largely reidential. There are three wetern entrance off of Pearl Road and one acce point connecting Ambroe Drive to the eat. Flahing chool zone ign are preent on Pearl Road. A newly contructed parking lot outh of the chool i acceible from Pearl Road a well a from chool property. The property contain other building uch a St. Ambroe Church and an auxiliary chool building. St. Ambroe houe about 475 tudent in grade K 8. Sidewalk are preent along Pearl Road only along the chool property. The adjacent propertie to the north and outh do not contain idewalk along Pearl Road. Sidewalk i poradic along Pearl Road near the chool. There i a walk at the middle drive from Pearl Road to the chool building. Several vehicle/pedetrian conflict point exit on chool property. St. Ambroe doe not have croing guard. Bu Queue at Dimial Crowalk Acro Pearl Road At the middle driveway, there i a mid-block pedetrian croing controlled by igning and pavement marking only (no traffic ignal, pedetrian ignal, flahing light, etc). The eatern acce to Ambroe Drive connect the chool to a reidential area with idewalk preent throughout. Sidewalk i preent along the acce drive; however it end on chool property before reaching the chool building and therefore force walker to cut acro the parking lot. Bue enter the northern-mot drive and queue in front of the chool. The bue utilize nearly all of the parking lot and bu operation are therefore hampered when vehicle park in the lot. Vehicle are allowed to enter the northern-mot drive but are encouraged to enter and exit the outhern-mot drive or the eatern drive to limit congetion on Pearl Road near the chool. DLZ oberved everal vehicle exiting the northern-mot drive. Although the general flow of traffic i etup in an efficient manner, due to large parking lot to the eat and outheat of the chool, vehicle often cut through area deignated for parking pace and caue ome confuion and inefficiencie.

11 Aement of Crah Data Ohio School Crah Statitic were provided by ODOT for the year 2007 through Thi data how eighteen (18) pedetrian or bicycle crahe within one mile of Edward Middle School, Hickory Ridge Elementary, St. Ambroe Elementary, and Viintainer Middle School. There were no fatal crahe; however, ten (10) of the crahe reult in injurie to one or more people. Fifteen (15) of the crahe involved bicyclit while the remaining three (3) crahe involved pedetrian. There wa only one location with multiple crahe. Thi wa near the interection of Hadcock Road and Excellence Drive. There were two crahe here, both involving bicyclit that failed to yield to oncoming traffic before attempting to cro Hadcock Road. The bicyclit hit were 16 and 10 year old. Thi interection i approximately 0.9 mile from St. Ambroe Elementary School and between 1.2 to 1.5 mile from the remaining chool. The Center Road and Hadcock Road corridor accounted for eleven (11) of the total crahe (ix on Center Road, four on Hadcock Road, and one at the interection of thee roadway). The eleven (11) crahe occurred in ten (10) different location.

22 Non-Infratructure Improvement Strategie Education Reviit arrival/dimial procedure with parent and tudent. Create map (if not already done) depicting the appropriate traffic flow for bue, vehicle, walker, and bike rider during arrival and dimial. Place map on chool webite. Thi hould be done after any infratructure improvement are made. Provide further training to thoe teacher and tudent who take on the reponibility of being croing guard at variou chool. Conduct thi training two to three time a year to remind or to train new people. Work directly with the City of Brunwick Park Department to further puh the benefit of healthy activitie uch a walking and biking. Conduct chool eminar to teach children the rule aociated with operating a bicycle and tip for afe operation. Encouragement Initiate a walk to chool day. Encourage tudent to walk or bike to chool on one pecific day to promote the SRTS Plan a well a a health awarene initiative. Seek parent volunteer to walk with group of tudent, be preent at croing location, and guide tudent to appropriate route once on chool property. Provide reward for walking and biking to chool uch a a monthly incentive to the grade that ha the mot walker and bike rider. Enforcement Monitor the peed of vehicle travelling in chool zone during retricted hour, epecially on Pearl Road in front of St. Ambroe. If available, deploy peed trailer that reveal current peed in chool area. Enlit teacher at each chool to be preent outide of the chool building during arrival/dimial period to enure compliance with procedure. Evaluation Upon completion of infratructure improvement, perform pedetrian/bicycle count to meaure the effectivene of the improvement trategie. In addition, follow up with parent and tudent by conducting an after urvey to gauge reult of the improvement. 20
