Item to be presente y:
NEW BUSINESS Anthony J. Nislch/yp�
DATE: January 12, 1993
SUBJECT: CITYWIDE "SUGGESTED ROUTE TO SCHOOL" STUDY
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
In the Fiscal Year 1991/92 budget, the City Council appropriated $40,500 and directed staff to
prepare a Citywide "Suggested Route to School" study. The City of Santa Clarita in cooperation
with the four (4) school districts serving the community, has prepared this study, which takes the
form of a safety program for school children, encompasses every public school in the City which
serves grade levels Kindergarten through eighth grade. The program covers 21 elementary schools
and three junior high schools. Meetings were held with the principal or other representative from
each school to discuss participation In the program and to find out about any special areas of
concern. Draft suggested route maps were also sent to each school for review and comment.
Specific comments from schools regarding route selection are Incorporated In this study.
Purpose
The purpose of the study Is to provide guidance to parents, children, and school authorities on the
"Suggested" route to school. A secondary purpose of the study Is to improve communication
between the community, the school districts and the City relative to basic traffic control devices
and warning systems. It Identifies "Suggested" routes to school which form the basis for possible
future detailed evaluations with respect to additional traffic controls or crossing guards. Several
schools expressed a.desire for an adult crossing guard assigned to Intersections near their
schools. All requests have been or will be evaluated by City staff, Independent of this study. Some
schools have been notified that the warrants adopted by the City Council for crossing guards were
not satisfied for their school. The school or the school district is encouraged to consider crossing
guards for those locations If they so desire. Some school districts were advised that they might
want to consider School Safety Patrols at low volume, or all -way stop intersections adjacent to
schools where adult crossing guards are not justified.
Products:
The study has produced a series of maps which depicts, among other things, the various streets,
some traffic control devices, crossing guard locations and, of course, the school. A map has been
prepared for each of the 24 schools.
The map attempts to bring children to logical and convenient crossing points; usually, where the
crossing decision is made easier by virtue of the Intersection geometry or because a particular form
of protection has been provided.

Citywide "Suggested Route To School' Study
January 12, 1993
Page 2
Use of the Maps
The maps depict routes to (and from) school that, In the professional opinion of the preparers, offer
the best of several possible alternatives. In some cases, the "suggested" route may not be the
most direct. Efforts were made to minimize street crossings wherever possible. In those
neighborhoods where paseos have been provided and those paseos serve the neighborhood
school, the paseos were selected over nearby streets.
Nothing contained In the study or on any of the maps Is Intended to serve as a guaranty of safety.
In many situations, safety is a direct function of care, and no amount of guidance or traffic control
can improve safety without this most Important Ingredient.
To that end, the program and attendant maps should be circulated to parents (or guardians) of each
child in the school. Parents should be encouraged to review the maps for their Individual school,
walk the suggested route with their child or children and assure themselves that their child (or
children) are mature enough to make the trip If they are expected to travel alone and that their child
(or children) understands and follows basic safety rules. Ultimately, the responsibility for the safety
of the child rests entirely with the child and parent or guardian.
1. Adopt the attached resolution in support of the use of the Route -to -School Program, and direct
staff to work with school or school districts for full implementation of the study.
2. Direct staff to transfer $5,000 from a previously outstanding grant for "Sate -Route -to -School
Model Program" to be used for Implementing the recommendations of this study. After
contacts with the schools for grant proposals, the schools have decided not to participate;
therefore; this fund Is available for this study.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Santa Clarita has retained Willdan Associates to prepare a City-wide
suggested route to school study encompassing each of the public elementary and
junior high schools in the City. The study provides .simple maps indicating
suggested routes to school in a simple, easy -to -follow format that can be used by
parents, teachers, and students. The general intent of the program is to aid
parents and students in the identification of routes to schools that best utilize
existing traffic control devices and reduce pedestrian exposure to vehicle traffic.
The plan also provides a tool. for the City to help identify where students may be
concentrated, enabling them to prioritize the limited resources available to them for
roadway and pedestrian improvements. The plan might also be used by the City
to identify appropriate locations for the placement of school crossing guards.
Procedures for Developing Suggested Route Plans
A six -step. process was used to develop the suggested route to school plans for
each school. This procedure was used to maximize the efficiency of preparing the
large number of plans while obtaining as much pertinent data as possible. The
following is a description of the steps involved in preparing the plans:
Step 1: An initial meeting was held with the principal of each school to discuss
participation in the program and obtain some insight into the issues facing each
school.
Step 2: Detailed field inventories were performed to assess the location of existing
traffic control devices and pedestrian facilities.
Step 3: The data calculated in the field inventories was assessed to determine the
completeness of the information and the appropriateness of existing traffic control.
Steo 4: Using the field data, initial suggested routes to school were developed
' attempting to maximize the use of existing traffic control and minimize pedestrian
exposure to traffic.
' Step 5: Critical portions of suggested routes plans were reviewed in the field to
"fine tune" the routes and verify any areas of discrepancy or question.
Step 6: Routes were finalized and they summarize one area map for each school.
The maps are initiated to provide guidance to parents and teachers in instructing
students on which route to school is most appropriate for each individual.

' GENERAL SCHOOL AREA OBSERVATIONS
' Many schools within the City have adequate pickup and drop-off area around the
schools. However, most schools are experiencing an -ongoing problem with
' parents picking up and dropping off students at school. Common problems
include double parking and activities occurring on the wrong side of the street,
resulting in students crossing between cars, mid -block. In addition to reminding
' parents of the dangers of this type of activity, some schools may wish to consider
a staggered class schedule for releasing students in the afternoon (when the
problem is at its worst). Releasing students of various grades at 5 -minute intervals
' will reduce the congestion, while not resulting long waits for parents with more than
one child.
' Several schools are located very near local high schools. This condition creates
a higher interaction between elementary school students (pedestrians and traffic)
and high school students. One unfortunate characteristic of high schools is that
' many of the students are new drivers. As such, their judgement regarding speeds
and safety can be compromised. Individual school districts may wish to consider
' a minimal program to advise high school student drivers of the dangers associated
with driving through school areas, in an effort to increase the students' awareness
to the elementary students in the area.

A few areas within the City were originally developed with an internal paseo system
for pedestrians. This system is typically characterized by sidewalk areas between
a series of cul-de-sacs. The paseos tend to create a park -like setting with a
significant amount of vegetation. Many of the paseos are connected to grade
separated pedestrian crossings (both overcrossings and tunnels). Interviews
conducted with principals identified student safety within the paseo system as
being one of the primary concerns of parents. The result is that the paseos are
under-utilized since parents will not allow their children to walk to school, resulting
in increased student drop-offs. The concern for safety arises from the fact that,
by design, the paseos are somewhat isolated and not readily accessible to law
enforcement. Some incidents have occurred within the paseos that contribute to
this perception, according to principals. One method of possibly improving the
safety of paseos is to establish an informal adult "presence" on the paseos. Just
having adults walking the paseos in the morning and afternoon while students are
walking to school may help reduce the likelihood of objectionable activities by both
students and others. The local Sheriff's Department may have other suggestions
that the individual PTA may wish to consider.

BOUQUET CANYON ELEMENTARY_ SCHOOL
' 28110 North Wellston Drive
Saugus Union School District
Principal: Ms. Kathy Wolfson
' The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Bouquet Canyon
Elementary School. Students attending this school are not required to cross any
' major arterials. However, one roadway that students must cross does carry a
significant amount of traffic and can have higher than desirable speeds - Alaminos.
A crossing guard is provided for students crossing Alaminos. There is no bus
' service for this school. Some students are required to walk long circuitous routes
in their school walks.
' Ms. Wolfson expressed some concern over the speed of vehicles and the crossing
guard operation at the intersection of Alaminos and Benz. Her primary concern
' is that vehicles are travelling too fast on Alaminos and do not always have
sufficient braking distance as a result.

CANYON SPRINGS COMMUNITY SCHOOL
' 19059 Vicci Street
Saugus Union School District
Principal: Ms. Sandra Smith
' The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Canyon Springs
Community School. This school's attendance area is segmented by Soledad
' Canyon Road, Whites Canyon Road, Sierra Highway, and the Santa Clara River.
All students living south of Soledad Canyon Road are served by school buses.
Students living east of Sierra Highway also receive bus service. This service
represents the suggested routes to school for these areas. Generally, the
remaining students are not required to cross any major arterials in the school
' walking routes.
Ms. Smith identified several areas of concern for student pedestrians. First, one
' disabled student (wheelchair) attends Canyon Springs Community School. In her
route to school, she crosses the intersection of Vicci Street and Walnut Springs
Avenue where no disabled ramps are present. She, therefore, is required to drive
' her wheelchair in the street to the nearest driveway to gain access to the sidewalk.
The City should investigate this situation and determine the appropriate remedy.
Ms. Smith also indicated that some students living in the area south of the Santa
' Clara River take a "short cut' through the river to get to school, especially if they
have missed the bus. This should be discouraged through parent contact by the
school. Ms. Smith also indicated some concern over the number of students that
' cross Whites Canyon Road after school to go the Boy's and Girl's Club west of
Whites Canyon Road. There is a signal at this location for that purpose.
' Students attending Canyon Springs formerly attended the closed school on
Mandau Street and Luther Drive. Since this area, which is south of Soledad
Canyon Road, is serviced by school buses, the City may wish to consider removal
' of the white crosswalk across Mandan Street at Luther Drive and repainting the
yellow crosswalks at Soledad Canyon Road and Crossglade Avenue to white.
' The City may wish to consider the posting of W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
location:
' • West side Walnut Springs Avenue at the south curb line of Drycliff Avenue.

CEDARCREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
27792 Camp Plenty Road
Saugus Union School District
Principal: Ms. Sue Harrison (former)
Ms. Joan Lucid (new)
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Cedarcreek
Elementary. Typically, the routes to school do not involve crossing any major
arterials. Whites Canyon represents the eastern border of the school attendance
area and does not have to be crossed by any students. The highest volume
streets crossed by students are Camp Plenty Road and Nadal Street. The map
attempts to concentratestudent crossings in areas where traffic -control devices
and/or crossing guards will help reduce the potential for high-speed
vehicle/pedestrian conflicts.
The City may wish to consider the installation of W63/W65 "A" signs on the south
side of the following streets approaching Camp Plenty Road:
• eabington Street
• Four Oaks Street
• Cedarcreek Street
The same consideration could be given to the following locations:
• East side of Esterbrook Avenue south of Cedarcreek Street
• North side of Ranier Street east of Evening Shade Avenue
• North side of Four Oaks Street east of Evening Shade Avenue

' EMBLEM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
' 22635 Espuella Drive
Saugus Union School District
Principal: Mr. Justin Caulfield
The following map presents the suggested routes. to school for Emblem
Elementary. This school is mostly composed of students who are bussed from
areas a significant distance from the school. Therefore, only a small number of
students walk to school. None of the students need to cross a major arterial to
get to school.
Mr. Caulfield noted that there are several children who come to Emblem
Elementary School from outside of the school area for day care and to go to the
Boy's and Girl's Club near the rear of the school campus.
Mr. Caulfield indicated that there appears to be some difficulty for parents and
teachers to make the left turn from southbound Bouquet Canyon to Espuella Drive.
This should be remedied in the future with the completion of the development on
the west side of Bouquet Canyon. Separate left -turn phasing may eventually be
provided for vehicles turning off of Bouquet Canyon at this location.
In reviewing the school area traffic control, it was noted that a yellow school area
pedestrian crossing exists on Bouquet Canyon Road at Espuella Drive. Since
there should not be any walkers from across Bouquet Canyon Road, the City may
Wish to consider removing the yellow crosswalk and replace it with a white
crosswalk.
The City may wish to consider posting W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
locations:
• North side Paraguay Drive coast of Caballeta Drive
The existing W66 "School Xing" symbol sign may be removed at:
• North side of Los Tiares Drive east of Caballeta Drive.

The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Highlands
Elementary. This school is primarily a walking school with many students required
to walk nearly two miles to. school. The area is very hilly, making some walks very
difficult. Students are ,typically not required to cross any major arterials in their
walk to school. However, Centurion Way does carry a significant amount of traffic,
with a large number of high school students using the roadway.to get to school.
The First Los Angeles Aqueduct divides the school area approximately down the
center and provides a barrier for students from the eastern portion of the school
area. Only two crossing of the aqueduct are available: one on Bouquet Canyon
Road; the other on Grovepark Drive.. Neither route is particularly attractive for
pedestrians. Bouquet Canyon Road is a very busy arterial roadway. Grovepark
Drive is an extremely hilly street/route making it difficult for walking. The map
suggests the use of Grovepark Drive as the route to school for students east of
the aqueduct.
Mr. Moloznik identified several areas of.concern near the school. First, he sees
a need for a crossing guard at the entrance to the school. He has contacted both
the City and the Sheriff's Department regarding his concerns. The request is
under evaluation by the .City. He also identified that pickup and drop-off of
students is difficult. The City may want to consider working with the school to
develop a more effective pickup/drop-off plan for the school.
The City may wish to consider posting a W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
locations:
9 South side of Empino Lane west of Catala Avenue.

The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Meadows
Elementary. Meadows school is generally a walking school with many students
required to cross major arterials in their school routes. Orchard Village Road and
McBean Parkway divide the school area into three sections. The map suggests
students living east of Orchard Village Road use the pedestrian overcrossing north
of Mill Valley Road. The crossing is a part of the local paseo system that allows
pedestrian activity, while limiting exposure to motor vehicles.
Ms. Von Buelow also indicated that, same parents have concerns about the use
of paseos by school children due to potential security issues. The Sheriff
Department has been notified by City staff about this concern. After reviewing the
area, it was determined that it may be possible to reduce security problems on the
paseos by establishing a neighborhood watch over the paseos. An example of
this would be to have volunteer parents walk a short area of the paseos near their
homes during the school pedestrian times. Each parent participating would only
need to walk a short distance just to establish an adult presence in the paseo
areas.
The City may wish to consider posting W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
location:
• East side of Lochmoor Road at north curb line of Golf Course Road.
Also, there is a W63 school symbol sign posted on the west side of Fedala Road
south of Calle Arbor. The City may wish to consider its removal since it does not
appear appropriate for conditions.

NEWHALL ELEMENTARY
24607 North Walnut Street
Newhall School District
Principal: Ms. Joyce Wetterau
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Newhall
Elementary. This school has a significant number of both walking and bused
students. Many students must cross major arterials in their school walking routes.
It is likely that school busing will be reduced in the future and will result in more
students being picked up and dropped off by parents. The school and the City
have recently completed a plan to expand the areas.
Ms. Wetterau also identified several other issues the City may want to review
regarding this school. She suggested that City bus routes or schedules be
modified slightly to avoid having transit buses in the school area during peak
activity time. She also indicated that children have a difficult time crossing Lyons
Avenue and the intersection of Lyons Avenue and Newhall Avenue. This may be
caused by a misunderstanding of the meaning of the flashing "DON'T WALK"
symbol.
The attached "Bulletin" on the use of pedestrian push buttons may be useful to
overcome this misunderstanding.
The City may, wish to consider posting W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
locations:
• North side 12th Street east of Walnut Avenue.
• East side of Chestnut Avenue south of 11th Street.
• West side of Chestnut Avenue north of 13th Street.
There are existing yellow school crosswalks across Walnut Avenue at the north line
of 13th Street and the south line of 11th Street. These crossing points have not
been shown on the route to school map because they are considered redundant.
The City may wish to consider their removal.
Also, there are existing yellow school crosswalks marked across 13th Street at
Chestnut Avenue, across Walnut Avenue at 12th Street and across 11th Street at
Chestnut Avenue. These crossings have been shown on the map even though the
7' intersections may not be considered the best place to cross when compared
to other nearby stop controlled locations. They were retained on the map,
however, because there is no continuous sidewalk along the opposite side of the
perimeter streets surrounding the school.
Report
-25- City of Santa Clarita
II
The City may wish to consider constructing sidewalk in these areas. Consideration
should also be given to removal of the 'T" intersection crosswalks once the
' continuous sidewalk is in place.

The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Old Orchard
Elementary. Old Orchard is primarily a busing school serving two 'outlying" areas.
A small area near the school contains the only walking students. This area is
bounded by Lyons Avenue, Orchard Village Road, and Wiley Canyon Road. An
extensive paseo system serves this area.
The school posts an unofficial crossing guard just west of the intersection of
Avenida Rotella and Avenida Rondel, where the paseo accesses the street. It
seems that the school and the students would be better served by having students
cross under the street, using the existing underpass,. and avoiding crossing the
street. Crossing.the street at this location is undesirable since the crosswalk is
located at a midblock location. Ms. Granger did indicate that she felt the under -
crossing was not attractive to students for it can sometimes be used as a
"hangout" for high school students. However, posting the same unofficial crossing
guard in the under -crossing would probably be effective in minimizing potential
problems and would reduce pedestrian exposure to traffic.
If the underpass is selected as the route to school, the surface yellow school
crosswalk and attendant warnings should be removed.
During field reviews, we noted that in front of the school there is an area intended
to be used as a bus loading and unloading area. However, the existing signs do
not portray that information. There is a mixed message sent to motorists since the
area is posted with both no parking and stopping signs. These signs have
different meanings and may be the source of parents using the area for student
pickup and drop-off.

' PEACHLAND AVENUE ELEMENTARY
' 24800 Peachland Avenue
Newhall School District
Principal: Ms. Barbara O'Rear
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Peachland Avenue
Elementary. This school has both walkers and school bus service for its students.
Students are not required to cross any major arterials in their school walking
routes. Valley Street is the only significant roadway that students must cross in
their walking routes.
Ms. O'Rear also that the lack of curbs on Cherry Street and AppleStreet makes
many walkers feel unsafe while using these routes. The City may want to
investigate the various methods of financing the installation of curb, gutter, and
sidewalk on local streets. However, it may be difficult to justify such a project
solely for the benefit of students walking to school. Also, there is a section of
Peachland Avenue where there is no sidewalk on the -west side of the street.
Consideration of sidewalk in this area may be appropriate.
The City may wish to consider posting W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
location:
• South side of Happy Valley Drive at the west curb line of Neargate Drive.

23601 Carrizo Drive
Newhall School District
Principal: Ms. Gerry Morey (former)
Mr. Wayne Abruzzo (new)
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Valencia Valley
Elementary. This school is almost completely a walking school with buses only
serving special education students. A considerable number of students live west
of McBean Parkway in the Summit tract. However, the pedestrian overcrossing
just north of the intersection of McBean and Arroyo Park Drive does not effectively
serve the pedestrian traffic from the Summit. No specific solutions to increasing
the accessibility of the overcrossing were identified through the study.
Ms. Morey indicated that the biggest single problem facing the school pedestrians
is the issue of parent/student drop-off. The parents tend to stop wherever there
is an opening, even if it means stopping in local residents' driveways or in red -curb
zones. Then, some parents add to the confusion by making mid -block U-turns
near the school. Ms. Morey indicated that she has been engaged in discussions
with the City regarding the establishment of loading areas. The loading areas
adjacent to the school have been expanded recently as a result of the schools.
request.
Also, there is an existing yellow school crosswalk across Carrizo Drive at the west
line of Mendoza Drive; this crossing point has not been shown on the map in favor
of the crossing at Carrillo Drive where an adult crossing guard is assigned. The
City may wish to consider removal of the crossing at Mendoza Drive.
During field reviews, two areas were identified that the City should review in greater
detail. It seems appropriate that some advisory signs or "School Xing" markings
pavement should be placed along Carrillo Drive near Via Primero northbound.

WILEY CANYON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
24240 West Glorita Circle
Newhall School District
Principal: Mr. Wayne Abruzzo (former)
Mr. Larry Heath (new)
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Wiley Canyon
Elementary. This school area tends to be somewhat segmented by roadways and
geographic features, making it necessary for some students to be bused to school.
Bus service is currently provided for the areas south of Wabuska Street off Wiley
Canyon Road, the area north of Lyons Avenue, and the area west of the Golden
State Freeway (Interstate 5). Buses represent the suggested route to school for
these areas. The remaining walking area is rather small; however, several students
are still required to cross Wiley Canyon Road.
Mr. Abruzzo indicated that the.two-way stop at Glorita Circle and Wiley Canyon
Road produces a long queue of traffic. as parents wait to cross or enter the street.
A variety of treatments may be available to help remedy the situation, including
staggering dismissal times to reduce the peaking effect of traffic. Mr. Abruzzo also
noted that there is a potential problem with the interaction between City bus traffic
and student cyclists. It may be desirable to further investigate this situation with
a detailed field review of the conditions.
The City may wish to consider the installation of school zone crosswalk across La
Glorita Circle at the intersection of Avenida Dorena along with the red curb, as
appropriate, on the south side of the intersection.
Also, the walking routes include segments of Evans Avenue east of Wiley Canyon
Road. There is no continuous sidewalk in this area. The City may wish to
consider a sidewalk construction program in this area.
The City has received a specific request for sidewalk along Wiley Canyon Road
between Vista Ridge Drive and Tournament Road. Presently, the parkway area
contains landscaping. Walking is permitted in the marked bike lane.
This area is depicted on the route to school map. It is unknown at this time the
' number of children using this area on their way to and from school. A more
detailed study would be appropriate in order to recommend the requested
sidewalk.
The City may wish to consider posting W63/W65 "A" signs at the following
location:
North side of Evans Avenue west of Wiley Canyon Road.

MITCHELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
16821 West Goodvale
Sulphur Springs Union School District
Principal: Mr. Nick Teeter (former)
Mr. Mike Johnson (new)
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Mitchell
Elementary. In general, students are not required to cross any major arterials in
the school routes. Buses serve the only section of the attendance area that would
require crossing a major arterial (Soledad Canyon Road). The location of the
school does make walking to school difficult for some students. Many students
would be required to walk up some very severe inclines. This has resulted in a
very high morning student drop-off rate, while in the afternoon when the walk is
downhill, walking is much easier and more popular.
Mr. Teeter indicated that the hilly terrain has also contributed to many vehicles in
the morning travelling downhill near the school at excessive speeds. Again, police
enforcement can only be provided to each school on a limited basis. Therefore,
the concern still exists. Mr. Teeter also indicated that with the high number of
student drop-offs in the morning, there is a problem with congestion and confusion
in the areas used for drop-off. A more organized drop-off area plan may aid in
reducing this situation.
Field reviews indicated that a W66A "School Xing" sign is missing from an
installation on Goodvale in front of the school.

IPINETREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
'
29156 Lotus Garden
Sulphur Springs Union School District
Principal: Ms. Judy Heyn`
The following map presents the suggested -routes to school for Pinetree
Elementary. No students are required to cross major arterials in their school
'
walks. However, steep grades in the area do make walking to school particularly
difficult for students. As with other schools in similar locations, student drop-off in
the morning is much heavier than in the afternoon. This is due primarily to the
'
drop-off times coinciding with parent work commutes and the difficulty encountered
by many students walking up the steep grades in the morning to get to school.
Most students have a downhill walk home in the afternoon.
'
Ms. Heyn indicated that there were three potential problems with pedestrian activity
around Pinetree. The first involves excessive vehicle speeds on roads adjacent to
'
the school area. This is due, primarily, to steep downhill grades on the roadways.
The second area of concern is the visibility at the intersection of Carrousel Drive
and Flowerpark Drive. The route to school would preclude crossing at this
'
location: The third area of concern involves students crossing Lotusgarden Drive
at the school entrance. Adult crossing guard service has been considered at this
'
location.
The City may wish to consider the removal of several W53(B) "No Outlet' signs at:
'
Flowerpark Drive/Soledad Canyon Road;
Ada Street/Rose Haven Lane; and
'
Rose haven Lane/Rue Entree.
These installations may be misleading to motorists in the area and may have been
'
installed before the street system was as complete as it is now. Consideration
may be given to reinstalling these signs at Flower Park Drive and Nasturtium Drive
(west side) and at Marilyn Drive at Carrousel Drive (north side).

SULPHUR SPRINGS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
16628 West Lost Canyon Road
Sulphur Springs Union School District
Principal: Ms. Marilyn Miller
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Sulphur Springs
Elementary. This school has the potential for a larger number of pedestrians
crossing or walking along a major arterial, Sand Canyon Road. However, the rural
nature of this area makes this extremely unattractive to most residents. Long
walks, curved roadway alignment and lack of sidewalks reduces pedestrian activity
to nearly zero. Bus service is provided to most of the school attendance area.
However, some students do cross Sand Canyon Road at the intersection with Lost
Canyon Road.
Ms. Miller indicated that she has had several requests in to the City requesting a
traffic signal at the intersection of Sand Canyon Road and Lost Canyon Road.
Due to the small number of students crossing at this location, it is also likely that
the location would not meet the warrants for providing a crossing guard. Ms.
Miller also indicated that a number of students walk from homes north of the Santa
Clara River. She expressed concern over students crossing the river instead of
using the bridge. This activity should be discouraged; through direct parent
contact by the school.

VALLEY VIEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
19414 Sierra Estates Drive
Sulphur Springs Union School District
Principal: Mr. Tom Garvey
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Valley View
Elementary. This school attendance area is divided into two major sections by
Sierra Highway. All students living northwest of Sierra Highway are served by
buses, representing the suggested route to school for these students. This school
has a very organized student pickup/drop-off system and a separate bus activity
area.
One area of concern Mr. Garvey identified is related to vehicle speeds on Friendly
Valley Parkway, Friendly Valley Parkway provides the most convenient access
from Sierra Highway to the Golden Valley Road interchange with State Route 14.
Traffic travelling downhill from the freeway to towards Sierra Highway tends to
travel at speed in excess of the posted limits. Mr. Garvey is concerned over the
possible speeds and the potential for pedestrian vehicle accidents. Increased
enforcement may help reduce the potential for accidents.
The City should replace or add a W65 sign south of (Friendly Valley Parkway) on
Sierra Estates Drive, as it appears to be missing.

Principal: Mr. Lew White
' The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Arroyo Seco Junior
High. Many students attending this school are bused to school or are required to
' walk long distances of two miles or more. Due to the scope of this project, the
suggested route to school plan does not provide suggested routes for all students
who walk to school. The maps do cover the area within approximately one mile
' of the school.
Mr. White identified several areas of concern relating to pedestrian activity in the
school area. His main concern regarded students crossing Decoro Drive adjacent
to the school at Vista Delgado, and Seco Canyon Road at Decoro Drive. Many
students are not crossing the streets at the existing crosswalks where traffic
' control devices or crossing guards are provided. Students should be encouraged
to use these facilities whenever possible. Mr. White also noted that the school is
not currently using the on -street bus loading areas. All bus loading and unloading

PLACERITA JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
' 25015 North Newhall Avenue
William S. Hart Union High School District
Principal: Mr. James Tanner
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Placerita Junior
High. Many students attending this school are bused to school or are required to
' walk long distances of two miles or more. Due to the scope of this project, the
suggested route to school plan does not provide suggested routes for all students
who walk to school. The maps do cover the area within approximately one mile
' of the school.
Most students attending this school live north of the school in the Valencia area.
' Mr. Tanner expressed concern over several locations where students must cross
major arterials in their school routes. He cited several locations where a large
' amount of pedestrian activity occurs: They are:
1. Orchard Village Road;
' 2. McBean Parkway;
3. Wiley Canyon Road;
4. Dalbey Drive; and
' 5. Lyons Avenue.
Two locations near the school deserve particular attention. The first is the school
' crossing near the intersection of Orchard Village Road and Avenida Balita. This
crossing does not.appear to serve any purpose, with the possible exception of
students attending. school at Saint Stephans Episcopal Church. It is not known
' whether this church has a private school associated with it. The City should
determine whether there is a need for this crossing and eliminate if there is none.
' The second crossing is located at the intersection of Orchard Village Road and
Dalbey Drive. This crossing serves several students who use the pedestrian
easement west of the crossing to access Orchard Village at this location. The City
may wish to perform additional analyses at this location to determine if traffic
conditions warrant a higher level traffic control. If not, removal of the crossing and
eliminating the use of the pedestrian easement should be considered. At this time
' the suggested route does not utilize this crossing.
Mr. Tanner indicated that there is a significant number of students who cross the
' river bed as a "short cut' to school. This should be discouraged through direct
parent contact by the school.

SIERRA VISTA JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
19425 West Stillmore Street
William S. Hart Union High School District
Principal: Ms. Rochelle Neal
The following map presents the suggested routes to school for Sierra Vista Junior
High. Many students attending this school are bused to school or are required to
walk long distances of two miles or more. Due to the scope of this project, the
suggested route to school plan does not provide suggested routes for all students
who walk to school. The map does cover the area within approximately one mile
of the school.
Ms. Neal indicated a possible interest in relocating the bus loading area from
Stillmore Street to Pleasantdale Street. The City may wish to discuss this option
with her. She also indicated that there may be restricted sight distance for vehicles
on Stillmore Street as they attempt to enter Camp Plenty Road.
Ms. Neal had two particular areas of concern regarding pedestrian activity. Both
involve crossing the Santa Clara River bed. Apparently, several students use the
river bed as a short cut to get to school. Students living west of the school cross
on the north side of Soledad Canyon Road. Students living east of the school
cross on the south side of Soledad Canyon Road. Both crossing should be
discouraged through direct parent contact by the school. Ms. Neal expressed
interest in developing a safe crossing of these areas so students would have a
shorter, safer walk to school.
Concern has been expressed in the past for additional traffic control at the
intersection of Camp Plenty Road at Stillmore Street. A three-way stop and yellow
crosswalk was established at Call Way to satisfy other traffic concerns and address
the school crossing issue. The City may wish to consider an additional crossing
of Camp Plenty Road at Stillmore Street or the construction of sidewalk along the
west side of Camp Plenty Road for improved walking conditions to the Calle Way
crossing.
