2 Introduction The Safe Routes to School programming grant 2013/04 was managed by Denver Health with funds from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Participating schools were selected based on an evaluation of Denver Public Schools elementary schools developed by Denver Health. The schools were categorized based on the following criteria: Enrollment and percent of student enrollment living within one mile Percent of students receiving free/reduced lunch Number of pedestrians involved in collisions and number of collisions during school hours (7:00AM 4:30PM) within one mile of the school The components of the grant included: Educational programming provided by Bicycle Colorado and Bike Denver Walk Audits provided by Walk Denver Community engagement provided by CREA Results Overview of the School and Neighborhood School Year Data Total Students Within 1 mile of school With free/reduced lunch Total traffic accidents While driving to school Wellness Team School hours % 97% 0 0 No 8 am 3 pm Harrington Elementary School is located in the Clayton Neighborhood of north central Denver. It is a one story brick building with distinctive red and beige banding. The school occupies about one half block at the west end of Schafer Park. The school is located on the north side of East 37 th Avenue opposite the termination of Josephine Street. The closest intersection is East 37 th and York Street. The playground is located on the east side of the school adjacent to the park, and the school parking lots are to the east and west of the school. The blocks to the south and east of the school and park are predominantly residential with a mix of single and multifamily housing. Across 37 th are two vacant properties. Buildings along the west side of York are a mix of residential and commercial/industrial. The former Air Force Accounting Center, now offices and community services, is immediately to the north along York. A substantial complex of industrial buildings occupy the land to the north of the school and park. The residential blocks to the east, south, and west are traditional with rectangular blocks and detached walks with tree lawns. 2 P age
3 The school boundary is I 70/East 44 th on the north, Colorado Blvd on the east, East 37 th /Bruce Randolph, East 36 th on the south, and Gilpin/40 th /Blake/38 th streets on the west. The area north of East 40 th Avenue is predominantly industrial and is within the Elyria/Swansea Neighborhood. The large area at the northwest corner of East 38 th and York is a Union Pacific Railroad yard. Beyond the rail yard and tracks is the emerging RiNo (River North) Area, which is planned for mixed use in the future, but remains primarily industrial today. See school boundary map below. School Entrance Playground Two vacant lots with and without sidewalks across the street from the school The park to the east has a trail along the street rather than a sidewalk 3 P age
4 The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) distributed a survey about walking and biking to 450 parents of children at Harrington; 74 (16%) responded. Forty three percent of the parents completed the survey in Spanish, and 57% in English. Their children represented all of the grades between pre kindergarten and fifth grade, with the majority (32%) in kindergarten. Twenty eight percent of respondents live less than ¼ mile from the school, and an additional 35% live within a mile. Twenty four percent of respondents reported that their child walks to school, 58% reported that they drive their child to school, and 8% use the school bus. Although 78% of respondents believe that walking or biking to school is very healthy or healthy for their child, 46% percent indicated they would not feel comfortable allowing their child walk or bike to school without an adult at any age. The survey asked parents about issues that affected their decision to allow, or not allow, their child to walk or bike to/from school. The chart below shows that the most commonly cited issues were distance (35%), safety of intersections and crossings (35%), and speed of traffic along the route (35%). Issues Affecting Decision to Allow (Or Not Allow) Child to Walk or Bike Safety of Intersections and Crossings Distance Speed of Traffic Along Route Violence or Crime Weather or climate Amount of Traffic Along Route Time Crossing Guards Sidewalks or Pathways Child's Participation in After School Adults to Bike/Walk With Convenience of Driving 7% 7% 20% 16% 14% 12% 35% 35% 35% 31% 28% 28% The survey also asked if parents would probably let their child walk or bike to/from school if the issues identified above were changed or improved. The chart below shows that respondents were mostly likely to allow their child to walk or bike if distance, weather/climate, or time were changed or improved, followed by safety of intersections and crossing, and speed of traffic along the route. 4 P age

The neighborhood takes its name from Clayton College located in the southeast corner of the neighborhood. The southern part of the neighborhood is predominantly residential, zoned Urban Neighborhood Context Single Unit (U SU) for the school and area to the west, south and east of the school and park. The area to the north is zoned industrial (I 1) and along York zoning is B 2 and U MX 3 consistent with the mix of industrial, commercial and residential uses. The population declined slightly between 2000 and 2010, in part due to smaller household size.

10 Walk Audit Results WalkDenver met with parents at on February 25, 2014 to introduce the Safe Routes to School program and interview the parents. James Schaffer and Ryan Sagar from WalkDenver made the presentation. About 18 parents/staff attended the meeting along with a Spanish interpreter. Those that do walk access the school on York, Josephine and East 37 th. On March 3 WalkDenver conducted an observation of the school drop off area during morning arrival. Key findings include the following: Sidewalk Conditions o Sidewalks are not always cleared during snowy months. o Sections of the sidewalk are missing on both the north and south sides of 37 th between Columbine and Josephine, and between York and Gaylord. Sidewalks on the south side of the street are very narrow. o Curb ramps are missing in several locations including 37 th and Clayton, and 37 th and Josephine. o Cars park across the sidewalk in several locations. Intersections o Crosswalks are missing along many intersections along 37th. o When kids exit the school, they take the most direct routes and do not use the crosswalks that are present. o 37 th and York has crosswalks and pedestrian signals, but is a high traffic intersection that parents still consider dangerous. o Parents noted the need for crossing guards. Traffic Safety and School Zone Signage o The change from two way to one way for a short distance on 37 th is confusing ad poorly marked. o Parents drive down the alleyway near the school and go the wrong way on 37 th to access the parking lot. Parents also turn left out of the parking lot ignoring the right turn only and one way signage. o Both pedestrians and cars use alleyways as shortcuts, which parents consider a hazard. o The school bus loading and passenger loading signs list inconsistent and inaccurate times. o No parking signs are parallel to the street, making them hard to see. o Parents noted that more signage, especially blinking school zone signs, are needed around the school. Drop off/pick up o Parents feel that drop off and pick up is very disorganized drivers want convenience and speed, and are poor role models for pedestrian safety. o Parents park on the south side of 37 th and let kids cross mid block to the school. 10 P age
11 School Grounds o The turn around does not provide much space for parked and moving cars. o Better signage is needed for entry and exit of the parking lot current signs are too low and obscured by cars. o Recently rules for the adjacent park were changed to discourage loitering. Top Five Priorities: 1. Crossing guards 2. York and 37 th intersection 3. East parking lot 4. Parent behavior 5. Enforcement WalkDenver also conducted a technical audit of the pedestrian environment on April 12, 2014, when several volunteers used the WALKscope pedestrian data collection tool to record information about sidewalk and intersection quality throughout the Clayton neighborhood. All of the data collected, including images and commentary, can be viewed on the interactive map at The map below shows summary data on sidewalk conditions. Many of the sidewalks in the neighborhood are detached, meaning there is a buffer between the sidewalk and the street, and wider than three feet. In several cases, however, sidewalk conditions change mid block. Numerous obstructions and poor pavement conditions were noted on the sidewalks along York, Josephine, 37 th and 35 th. The second map below shows overall ratings of sidewalk and intersection quality on a scale from 1 (low) to 5 (high). This map illustrates the inconsistent quality of the pedestrian infrastructure, with low and high ratings mixed together throughout the neighborhood. The low ratings are most concentrated in the area bounded by York, Columbine, 38 th and 35th. To improve pedestrian conditions along these routes, WalkDenver recommends installing features aimed at slowing down traffic and shortening pedestrian crossings such as bulb outs, traffic circles, bike lanes etc. The first priority for these improvements is in the immediate vicinity of the schools. Low cost, interim design options can be incorporated using paint, flexible posts, epoxied gravel, interlocking pavers, etc. 11 P age
