Safe Routes to School - (update)

We recently conducted a field review with MDOT (Mississippi Department of Transportation), where we walked through the conceptual plans for the Madison Safe Routes to School Project. We will have one more review with MDOT before our final submittal in January. We are looking forward to what this project will provide for both the students of the Madison Avenue Schools and the community as a whole.

Below are conceptual images we used during the early stages of the project as we met with school officials, parents, and representatives of neighboring communities.

This image shows upgrading the intersection signals with pedestrian crossing signals and replacing the thin stripes with a more dominant striping to provide a safer crossing.

The image below shows a segment of the proposed trail system that will allow the kids in the surrounding neighborhoods safe access to the schools.
