Safe Routes to School infrastructure study

MetroPlan, the City of Flagstaff, and Mountain Line are partnering on a project to create preliminary designs for infrastructure to improve multimodal access to schools. The overall objective is to make it comfortable for people to get to school by walking, biking, or other non-vehicular means from surrounding neighborhoods within three different project areas. For the phase of work, alternatives will be identified and selected with community input.

The three projects include:

Pine Cliff Left Turn Lane Project: this project will explore the feasibility of adding a left turn from Pine Cliff Dr. onto Forest Avenue to better serve the surrounding schools and neighborhoods and improve efficiency of Mountain Line’s Route 2.

Knoles Elementary School and Sinagua Middle School Area Improvement Project: This project aims to make walking, biking and other non-driving options safer, more comfortable, and easier for students and families to reach Knoles Elementary and Sinagua Middle School through an engineering study looking at crossing, sidewalks, etc.

Northeast Schools Area Improvements Project: This project will develop ideas for increasing safety and comfort for students and families walking, biking, or using other non-driving options to get to schools in northeast Flagstaff, including Coconino High, Mount Elden Middle, Puente de Hozho, Pine Forest Charter, and Killip Elementary.? 

A survey for the Northeast Schools project is open and intended particularly for anyone with children who attend schools in the area: Northeast Schools Community Survey
