Safe Route to New Elementary
During our work session with the P&Z Board as well as in numerous phone conversations with City Staff,
the issue of a safe walk -path to the above mentions facility has been a significant concern. As mentioned
in my letter of April 26, 2001, Poudre School District (PSD) is committed to providing safe routes to all
schools for our students. As I understand, the City and P&Z Boards primary concern is how this will be
achieved if the planned improvements to County Road 36 are not completed in time for the opening of
school. I would like to propose the following:
1. The PSD will commit to construct a 6' wide temporary asphalt walk -path along City right-of-
ways west to the nearest permanent improvements or Ziegler Road. The PSD will work with City
Staff to establish the safest route for construction of said path. It is assumed that the City will
work with PSD to provide access to right-of-ways and not place unrealistic requirements on the
construction of such path.
2. The PSD will also commit to establish bussing routes that will provide an opportunity for
students to be safely transported to the facility. Bussing routes and their continued operation will
be consistent with standard PSD practices and Board of Education Policy.
The PSD would like to thank the City, P&Z Board, and the surrounding Developers for their commitment
to this Project and the construction of CR 36. It is this type of cooperation that is truly in the best interest
of the Community. Thank you for you continued support.
Respectfully,
Poudre School District
