HR City Council Receiving Safe Routes To School Project Report

The Hood River City Council has received report on potential Safe Routes to School projects for the May Street Elementary and Hood River Middle School areas.  The City was awarded a grant in 2020 to identify and prioritize projects that address existing barriers and improve walking and biking safety within a one-mile radius of the two schools.  City Manager Abigail Elder says some of what was identified is fairly easy to do, including improved signage and striping, while others are more complex and will require funding.  Some of those steps could be folded into an urban renewal plan for the Heights area.  City Councilors are being asked to accept the report as a guide to identify projects to be implemented over time by the City, the Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District, and the Hood River County School District.
