Safety tips and bike

laws Be predictable! Be alert! Be

prepared!

Obey traffic signs and lights

Use hand signals when biking

Go slowly on sidewalks when biking

and ride in the roadway when safe

Use caution when cars are turning

across bike lanes or through side-

walks

Be visible! Where bright clothing

Ride and walk so drivers can see you

and predict your movements

Why walk and bike

to school?

Walking and biking promotes healthy, ac-

tive living and is a great source of exercise!

It can promote weight loss and heighten

energy levels. Walking and biking also re

duces the need to drive, which cost money

and produce greenhouse emissions. METRO

found that households that walk and cycle

as the primary modes of travel save an av

erage of $694 per month.”

Visit the state and national Safe Routes to

School program websites for more information

about safe routes in the community and safe

walking and biking practices. Also, METRO and

the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) also

have great resources for families. See the fol-

lowing websites below.

A bond was recently passed for the West Linn-Wilsonville School District which created funding to replace

Sunset Primary School (K-5). The school is located at 2351 Oxford Street in the City of West Linn, Oregon.

The current school boundary extends to the south to 1-205, to the east to West A Street, west to Wild Rose

Drive, and to the north near Rosemont Road . Oxford Street provides access to the current school site and is

classified as a Neighborhood Route by the City of West Linn .

A transportation analysis and

safe routes to school

assessment was completed in

2015 an is documented in the

Sunset Primary School

Transportation Analysis and

Safe Routes to School Plan .1

The purpose of this

memorandum and associated

safe routes to school map is

to update the recommended

routes to school and update

the recommended safe

routes to school

improvements now that the

new Sunset Primary School

improvements have been

completed .

Sunset Primary Safe Routes to School

Updated Safe Routes to School Assessment Based on the field observations conducted on November 16, 2017, the routes identified in Figure 1 are the

recommended walking and biking routes to Sunset Primary School within the walking boundary. However,

it is important to note that while some additional sidewalks were constructed in coordination with the

school building replacement, there are still some significant sidewalk gaps within the walking boundary,

even on the recommended routes to school highlighted in Figure 1.

Table 1 below shows the updated project recommendations within the Sunset Primary School walking

boundary. The highest priority should be given to projects along the recommended routes to school in

Figure 1.
