CITY OF WAUKEE, IOWA
CITY COUNCIL MEETING COMMUNICATION
MEETING DATE: December 20, 2021
AGENDA ITEM:Consideration of approval of a resolution approving City of Waukee Safe
Routes to School Guide
FORMAT:Resolution
SYNOPSIS INCLUDING PRO & CON: The safe routes to school (SRTS) programs are a
nationwide effort to promote walking and biking to school by improving infrastructure,
education, and safety for students and parents choosing an alternative mode of travel to school.
The initiative started in a few cities in the 1990’s and expanded as federal transportation funding
was provided to support safe routes to school programs. Safe routes to school programs seek to
address some of the common issues presented by parents as reasons for students not walking to
school; including, distance to school, traffic danger, weather, and crime.
The City of Waukee plays a key role in safe routes to school in the city. As the primary owner of
infrastructure to support transportation (sidewalks, streets, bridges, trails, etc.) the City is
responsible for making sure the routes are complete, accessible and safe driving behaviors and
supporting the education of students for biking and walking safely.
The City will also likely act as the primary entity requesting funding for safe routes to school
infrastructure projects. Funding for safe routes to school infrastructure projects are common
programs that the City already utilizes for other projects. Non-infrastructure safe routes to school
projects may also be funded through programs that will require the City to act as the primary
entity.
The following next steps have been identified to advance SRTS planning and development in the
City of Waukee are:
1.Creating (and updating) walking maps for each school in Waukee.
2.Building sidewalk gaps where development isn’t likely to build sidewalks in the near
term.
3.Form a SRTS committee with City staff from Waukee, Clive and West Des Moines and
Waukee Community School District (WCSD) staff.
4.Request Des Moines Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (DMAMPO) staff to
develop SRTS education and encouragement items for City and WCSD.
5.Plan a SRTS event at each WCSD school with joint support of the Street Collective, Iowa
Bicycle Coalition and/or the DMAMPO.

Introduction
This reference guide provides a working definition and description of the different levels of
improvements for the expansion of safe routes to schools in Waukee. Safe routes to school
guides are built around the five E’s of transportation safety.
What are Safe Routes to School?
The safe routes to school program are a nationwide effort to promote walking and biking
to school by improving infrastructure, education, and safety for students and parents
choosing an alternative mode of travel to school. The initiative started in a few cities in the
1990’s and expanded as federal transportation funding was provided to support safe
routes to school programs.i Safe routes to school programs seek to address some of the
common issues presented by parents as reasons for students not walking to school;
including, distance to school, traffic danger, weather, and crime.ii
Safe routes to school plans or policies utilize the E’s of transportation safety to create routes
with the necessary infrastructure to support biking and walking. They encourage parents
and students to walk or bike to school. They educate the community about the benefits of
active transportation. And lastly, they support the reinforcement of safe traffic behavior.
Five E’s of Transportation Safety
Engineering – The physical infrastructure that
provides access and mobility for students and
parents to safely navigate to school locations.
Engineering improvements include sidewalks,
crosswalks, traffic signs, and traffic operation.
Education – Education programs focused on
audiences including students, parents, drivers,
and neighbors. Education includes teaching
individuals how to safely cross streets or navigate
by bicycle. Additional education efforts include
education on the benefit of walking and biking
to school.
Encouragement – Ongoing encouragement is
used to reengage students, parents, drivers, and
neighbors to participate in walking and biking to
school. Encouragement for transportation safety
involves hosting events and activities to promote
safe routes to school, for example a Bike Rodeo.
Enforcement – Enforcement is meant to deter unsafe behaviors of drivers, pedestrians, and
bicyclists. Enforcement can be used as an education tool to encourag e the behavior that
achieves the goal of safe routes to school.
Figure 1. The Five E's of Transportation Safety
Page 5
Evaluation – Evaluating projects, programs, and the change in students walking or biking
to school is necessary to make sure the planning efforts are tailored to the needs of the
city, schools, and students year over year.
While each of the E’s is important to creating the safest program possible, this guide will
primarily focus on Engineering improvements that the City of Waukee can implement as
new schools or developments are planned throughout the City. Without the necessary
infrastructure around schools in the growing community, creating an effective safe routes
to school program will not be fully realized.
The City’s Role in SRTS
The City of Waukee plays a key role in safe routes to school in the city. As the primary owner
of infrastructure to support transportation (sidewalks, streets, bridges, trails, etc.) the City is
responsible for making sure the routes are complete, accessible, and safe. The City of
Waukee Police Department also has a role in safe routes to school by encouraging safe
driving behaviors and supporting the education of students for biking and walking safety.
The City will also likely act as the primary entity requesting funding for safe routes to school
infrastructure projects. Funding for safe routes to school infrastructure projects are common
programs that the City already utilizes for other projects. Non-infrastructure safe routes to
school projects may also be funded through programs that will require the City to act as
the primary entity.
Partners in Creating SRTS
Waukee Community School District
The Waukee Community School District will be a primary partner in developing and
implementing safe routes to schools. As the school district sets or adjusts enrollment
boundaries and locates new schools, the City should coordinate updates to safe routes to
school maps to provide to parents with students in the district. Additionally, the City should
ensure that new school locations are served by necessary infrastructure to keep students
safe.
The school district will also likely lead efforts for education of students and parents regarding
safe routes to schools. Encouragement will be a role for the school district through events
and communications.
Waukee Police Department
The Waukee Police Department will be a partner in terms of providing education and
encouragement to drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The Police Department can
encourage biking to school through activities like helmet donations and bike ro deos.
Safe Routes to School Guide
Page 6
Iowa DOT
The Iowa DOT has multiple funding opportunities that could be utilized to help fill
infrastructure gaps to provide safe routes to schools. One of the primary components to
the Iowa DOT’s role in local safe routes to school efforts will be pr oviding educational
materials for pedestrian and bicycle safety.
Des Moines Area MPO
The Des Moines Area MPO can act as a planning partner when it comes to coordinating
school district wide planning. As the Waukee Community School District includes multiple
local communities, the DMAMPO could be a useful venue to help coordinate efforts
related to safe routes to schools. The DMAMPO will also be able to help the City with funding
applications for safe routes to school projects and would likely support encouragement
efforts put on within Waukee.
Street Collective
The Street Collective’s mission is to champion “active transportation options that are
accessible, safe and enjoyable for everyone.” Several of their programs align well with safe
routes to school activities. They can provide assistance with types of bike parking that
would work best for schools, hosting bike rodeos, or even assist a student with getting a
bike.
Health Care Providers
Health care providers often support education and encouragement of active
transportation options. For example, some providers offer bicycle helmets for children.
Partnering with a health care provider for an event can help educate parents and students
about the health benefits of safe routes to schools.
Iowa Bicycle Coalition
The Iowa Bicycle Coalition is a non-profit that promotes bicycling in Iowa. One of the
organizations key programs is safe routes to schools. The Coalition provides details on low -
cost projects, programs to encourage biking and walking for students, and training at a
Safe Routes to School Conference.
Page 7
Funding SRTS
Surface Transportation Block Grant Set-Aside
The surface transportation block grant (STBG) set-aside is a funding program managed by
the Des Moines Area MPO and is specifically designed to fund non-motorized
transportation projects. Safe routes to school projects – both infrastructure and non-
infrastructure – are eligible for funding through STBG set-aside. The STBG set-aside process
usually begins in October.
ICAAP
While specific safe routes to school projects have not been funded by the Iowa Clean Air
Attainment Program (ICAAP) in previous funding cycles, safe routes to school projects do
fit within the Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities and Programs project category. Specific
category language states:
“Construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Public education, promotional and
safety programs to encourage and facilitate the increased use of non - motorized
transportation modes (e.g., bicycling and walking for commuting purposes).”iii
As safe routes to school projects are designed to encourage greater bike and walk
commutes for students to school, they would appear to fit within this category.
SRTS Improvements
Safe routes to schools engineering improvements are a combination of signag e, markings,
and concrete infrastructure. Improvements vary based on the proximity of the improvement
to any school. Further away from schools, the City should focus resources on making sure
continuous and safe routes are available for pedestrians and bicy clists along city streets. Near
schools the City should ensure that crosswalks are installed to designate safe crossing locations
for students. Around schools, signage should be added as needed to educate drivers and
encourage slower speeds. Improvements that should be considered along safe routes to
schools are shown in the following table. Other improvements that can be made to
encourage safe speeds around schools are traffic calming measures.

Page 9
Within School Zones
Improvements within school zones are used to help manage
vehicle speed and alert drivers to students crossing the streets
adjacent to school buildings.
School Speed Limit Sign
School speed limit signs are used at the entrance to school
zones to make drivers aware they are in a school zone and
need to drive slower. When locating a school zone, guidance
from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)
should be reviewed.
Section 7B.09 of the MUTCD provides the guidance for locating
school zone at the beginning and end of the school zones.
Overhead School Flasher Speed Limit Sign
Overhead school flasher speed limit signs add a flashing light to
make the school speed limit more noticeable for drivers. These
are currently being used around many of the schools in Waukee.
Guidance: Overhead school flasher speed limit signs should be considered on any
streets with speed limits greater than 25 MPH adjacent to new school locations.
Speed Feedback Sign
Speed feedback signs are useful tools to alert drivers of their speed in the school zone.
These signs often have the ability to state the speed limit, the drivers speed, and a
message to “Slow Down” if drivers exceed the speed limit. Portable options are
available for locations where temporary use may be more applicable than a
permanent sign.
Guidance: Speed feedback signs should be considered where speed limit compliance
issues are documented on streets adjacent to school locations.
School Advance Warning and Crosswalk Sign
Crosswalk signs and school advance warning signs are used to alert drivers of crossing
locations adjacent to schools or along school routes. The City of Waukee has deployed
these signs across the city on streets adjacent to schools. As school routes get
established these signs should be located in accordance with the MUTCD.

Pavement Markings
Pavement markings can be an effective tool to
enhance driver awareness in school zones.
Pavement markings – including the “SCHOOL”
marking shown to the right – provide additional
guidance for drivers near schools. Pavement
markings should be used in conjunction with
other signs. When using pavement markings,
markings should be located and selected in
accordance with guidance in the MUTCD.
Route to School
Routes to school are the paths that students take between their home and the school they
attend. The primary improvements that support the development of safe routes to school
are sidewalks and trails.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks are the primary infrastructure supporting safe routes to school. Establishing a
complete and continuous sidewalk network provides safe space for students to walk or
ride their bikes. In developing residential areas, sidewalks may be completed as new
residential construction is completed. In established neighborhoods, it may be
necessary to build new sidewalk to connect the existing network where gaps have been
identified. The Waukee Street Design Guide should be utilized to determine the
appropriate location and widths of sidewalks.
Trails
Like sidewalks, trails support a complete and continuous safe route to school. Students
should be educated about sharing the trail to ensure that conflicts between other users
who may be traveling at a greater speed, such as bicyclists, are minimiz ed. The Waukee
Street Design Guide should be utilized to determine the appropriate location and widths
of trails along existing or future streets.
Figure 3. Example of Pavement Markings
(Source: MUTCD)
Page 11
Crossings
Crossings are locations where the safe route to school intersects a city street. Crossings can
be at the intersection of two streets or mid-block, signalized or unsignalized.
When considering the type of crossing for safe routes to school, the existing roadway
configuration, speed limit, and average annual daily traffic volumes should all be
considered. To help identify applicable crossing enhancements, the following table from
the FHWA Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations should
be used.
Table 2. Crossing Enhancements
(Source: FHWA, Guide for Improving Pedestrian Safety at Uncontrolled Crossing Locations)
Safe Routes to School Guide
Page 12
Crosswalks
Marked crosswalks help guide students along the preferred route to school when
crossing streets. Marked crosswalks also alert drivers to pedestrian traffic at commonly
used locations. Crosswalks should be located in accordance with the MUTCD. When
considering the location of a crosswalk other traffic calming measures may be included
to reduce speeds in advance of the crosswalk.
Guidance: Any crossing on an identified school route for students
should be marked with a crosswalk.
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are a warning device
at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings. RRFBs feature flashing lights,
when activated by a pedestrian, to alert drivers of crossing
pedestrians.
Similar to other improvements included in at crossings, RRFBs are a
proven safety countermeasure that improves yielding rates of
motorists.iv Additional information on the placement, use, and
specifications of an RRFB can be found in MUTCD interim approval
– IA-21.v
Guidance: RRFBs should be considered for any uncontrolled
crossing of any arterial or collector street adjacent to a school. For
all other uncontrolled crosswalks on a school route, use Table 2 to
determine applicability.
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
(PHBs) are a pedestrian
activated control device that
stops traffic at a crossing
location to allow pedestrian
crossing. PHBs are a proven
countermeasure to improve
safety at midblock crossings
and uncontrolled
intersections.vi When
considering a PHB, the
MUTCD Figure 4F-1 should be
used to determine if
applicable thresholds are met
for its use.

Page 13
In-Street Pedestrian Crossing Sign
In-street pedestrian crossing signs are a proven safety countermeasure that improve the
awareness of drivers at crosswalks near schools or along routes to school. According to
FHWA, in -street pedestrian crossing signs may be appropriate for streets with speed limits
less than 30 MPH.vii When placing an in-street pedestrian crossing sign, consideration
should be given to adding yield bar pavement markings on street approaches.
Additionally, placement, use, and specifications for in -street pedestrian crossing signs
should follow MUTCD guidance.
Leading Pedestrian Intervals
Leading pedestrian intervals are signal timing improvements give pedestrian crossing
time prior to vehicles. At signalized intersections, leading pedestrian intervals (LPI) are
being used to improve the visibility of pedestrians in crosswalks. LPI s have been proven
to increase the visibility of pedestrians and the likelihood of a motorist yielding. LPIs have
been effective at intersections with frequent turning traffic. The MUTCD should be utilized
to help guide the implementation of LPIs.viii
Guidance: LPIs should be considered at any signalized crossing on a school route.
Traffic Calming Measures
Traffic calming devices are used to encourage motorists to adhere to posted speed limits and
create a safer roadway environment for all users, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. Traffic
calming measures are a combination of road features and interventions that reduce the
negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior and improve conditions for non -
motorized street users. By increasing pedestrian and cyclist safety, traffic calming measures
may even encourage additional pedestrian and bicycling activity on and along roadways.
Traffic calming measures can be retroactively applied to existing streets or may be integrated
into original construction or reconstruction design guidelines and may be implemented at an
intersection, street, neighborhood, or area-wide level.
When applied to Waukee, the following type of traffic calming measures may be considered:
• Choker
• Corner Extension
• Median Islands
• Mini Roundabouts
• On-Street Parking
• Roundabouts
Additional information about traffic calming measures and the appropriate locations for
measures on Waukee streets can be found in the Waukee Street Design Guide.

Next Steps
The following next steps are identified to advance Safe Routes to School planning and
development in the City of Waukee.
1. Create Safe Routes to School Route walking maps for each school in the City of
Waukee.
2. Build sidewalks in neighborhoods where gaps have been identified and improve
crossings identified on Safe Routes to School routes.
3. Form a Safe Routes to School Committee with City staff (Public Works, Police,
Planning), Waukee School District staff, City of Clive staff, and City of West Des Moines
staff.
4. Request DMAMPO work on Safe Routes to School education and
encouragement items for City and School.
5. Discuss and Plan a Safe Routes to School event each school with joint support of
the Street Collective, Iowa Bicycle Coalition, or the DMAMPO.
