<br />DISCUSSION
<br />The Fremont Elementary and Spurgeon Intermediate Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
<br />project will improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety with the construction of traffic
<br />improvements along the suggested safe routes for the Fremont Elementary and
<br />Spurgeon Intermediate schools (Exhibit 1). The scope of work includes construction of
<br />curb extensions at crosswalks and intersections, traffic circles at intersections,
<br />sidewalks, driveway approaches, curbs and gutters, speed humps, bikeways, street
<br />lights, traffic signal installations, traffic signal modifications, utility improvements,
<br />irrigation, and landscaping. The expected benefits from these improvements are the
<br />increase in confidence of parents to allow more students to safely walk or ride their
<br />bicycles to and from schools, parks, and other destination points, and improve the
<br />quality of life for all users.
