SUBJECT: Comments on Agenda Items, Meeting of March 26, 2024 ITEM 7.A. (Special Items). Mayor’s Youth Council update. The Mayor’s Youth Council will provide an update for the council.
ITEM 7.B. (Special Items). Public Safety Department update - Public Safety Director Breceda will provide an update for the council.
ITEM 10.E. (Consent Calendar). The Finance Department has submitted the monthly report for January 2024 for review.
ITEM 10.F. (Consent Calendar). The Public Safety Department has submitted the monthly report for March 2024 for review.
ITEM 10.G. (Consent Calendar). Notice of Completion: Pool Deck Repair - Project 23-6 - During the November 14, 2023, City Council Meeting, the Council awarded the contract for the Pool Deck Repair project to Slater Waterproofing, Inc. in the amount of $135,075, in addition to a ten percent contingency, due to the pool deck showing heavy signs of wear and fatigue and being closed off to the public. The project, which started back on December 18, 2023, consisted of removing the existing deck coating on the lower portion of the deck, preparing the concrete, routing open existing concrete cracks and patching as needed with gel, priming the surface, applying the West Coat Texture-Crete system and five-year workmanship and material warranty. To ensure the color consistency throughout the entire lower portion of the deck, a change order was needed, to include the West Coat Texture-Crete system throughout the spectator seating area. City Council approved the contract for $135,075, in addition to a ten percent contingency. The total cost of the project is $137,556, which is within the approved budget allocated for this project.
ITEM 11.0. (Consent Calendar). Fiscal Year 2023/24 Computer Replacement - The City of Duarte’s Information Technology (IT) Division manages all IT systems (hardware and software) that support operations at City Hall, City Yard, Community Center, Fitness Center, Senior Center, Teen Center and the Public Safety Office. The IT Strategic Plan is to identify and replace the City’s older computers, with more securable operating systems and hardware that is more stable with current operations. Upon review of our computer master list, it was found that 23 computers out of the 56 computers have exceeded their recommended end-of-life (5 years old) and need to be replaced. Additionally, with growing staff, we are requesting an additional two computers. From this point forward we are hoping to enter in a new lease every two years to replace computers so that we are continually keeping up with technology, security and life cycle management. This two year lease annual cost is not to exceed $23,500 per fiscal year for a total cost of $47,000.
ITEM 13.A. (Business Items). Adoption of the 2024 Safe Routes to School Plan - In October 2022, KOA Corporation (KOA) was contracted to prepare a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan for the City of Duarte by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The project is funded by the Sustainable Communities grant managed by Caltrans and SCAG. A SRTS Plan serves as a guide that focuses on improvements to safety, accessibility, public health and equity for students and their families getting to or from school. A major component of the development of a SRTS Plan is identifying local needs and input from the community. The consultant has done a significant amount of public outreach to develop this plan 6 which included participation in six (6) community events, five (5) stakeholder meetings, two (2) core team meetings, walk audits at each participating school site and a social media presence. The plan proposes several possible future improvements that can be accomplished to improve infrastructure near school routes.
The value of the Safe Route to Schools Plan is that it will help us to create a list of important upgrade projects to add to the CIP. It will also be a valuable tool as the City looks for grants for future public improvement projects. There is no direct cost to adopting the 2024 Safe Route to Schools Plan. 7 ITEM: 10.C

10. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Conceptual Site Design Plan for Duarte Park Revitalization Project Director of Parks and Recreation Enriquez provided background on the final concept design created by MIG through the 2023 professional services agreement. The goals of this project are to improve infrastructure that meet the communities needs and promote health and wellness. He introduced Donna Gutierrez, Deputy Project Manager and Steve Lang, Principal. The final design concept has evolved to include commissioner suggestions, public input, community meetings and other feedback provided to staff.
Steve Lang explained that focus was placed on meeting the neighborhood's needs of providing safer play areas visible from the street, including a dog park, building closer restrooms, establishing picnic areas, adding more parking spots, and extending the teen center for the boxing program. He responded to questions posed by the Council stating that the tennis court will stop at the right hand corner and the dog park will be located at the back of the park, further away from the neighborhood and streets; and while the idea of a community garden was considered, there was not enough space to accommodate all of the ideas presented.
Director of Parks and Recreation Enriquez responded to questions posed by City Council and clarified that the City has applied for garden grant funding and staff will later present to Council next steps and proposals for a community garden in the coming month; and clarified that two flash vote surveys were taken, residents near that area were notified and their input was solicited. The item was also on the agenda of three separate parks and recreation commission meetings.
Steve Lang responded to further questions, explaining that because of the specific dimensions of the parking lot, there was limited room to create a dual usage facility in addition to expanding the teen center. Director of Parks and Recreation Enriquez added that upgrading the existing teen center in addition to the expansion would require additional ADA compliance and budgeting to take into account. He also noted that the boxing equipment in the presentation was not included in the estimate of the project, it is a visual rendering of the proposed amenities.
There was concern over the park building and dog park taking space from what could be a larger extension of the teen center.
Director of Parks and Recreation Enriquez explained that the park building would not be storage sitting empty, rather it is used on a daily basis for recreation classes and day camps. Currently they are maxed out at the number of students that can be accommodated; and stated that the boxing 11 3/12/2024 – PAGE 4
program does have a waitlist, but no youth is turned away from the teen center and the use of its facilities.
It was suggested that the area of other amenities be diminished in favor of increasing teen center space and supporting the boxing program as well as mixing park amenities for different age groups in one location.
City Manager Villalobos mentioned that depending on the City Council’s direction to Staff, it may require bringing the item back with an amended contract and budget for the park project.
Public Comment
Michelle Silence voiced her displeasure with the idea of incorporating a dog park, lack of parking regulations and the removal of green space for community use.
Alex Streff expressed support of all aspects of the Duarte Park Revitalization Project.

Celia Faliti supported the expansion of the teen center; suggested moving the parking lot to another area; and suggested decreasing the dog park area so as to keep larger green space.
Joe Faliti suggested researching the current utilization of the existing parking lot; suggested a small parking lot as opposed to the 20 space projected area; opposed the removal of green space; suggested moving the parking lot closer to the teen center; and suggested there be daily clean up of the dog park.
Robert Baron disagreed with the creation of a dog park; voiced his support of the expansion of the teen center; and suggested creating a dog park on Buena Vista and Royal Oaks instead.
Ferez Khavarian voiced his support for the dog park and suggested adding transportation to and from City of Hope station to Huntington Drive.
David Sosa spoke in favor of the dog park included in the Duarte Park Revitalization project.
Neil Furukawa suggested building a dog park along the riverbed. 12 3/12/2024 – PAGE 5
Moved by Councilmember Schulz, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Garcia, and carried by the following vote of the Council to receive and file the conceptual design for the Duarte Park Revitalization Project; direct Staff to incorporate Council’s suggestions regarding the park building, parking lot, and Teen Center to the design; amend the Agreement with MIG for approval by the Council; and present the survey results and FlashVote results to the Council at a future meeting.

*Source: City of Duarte general ledger. Note that the total cash balance as shown in the City's general ledger is not equal to the combined ending "Bank" and "LAIF" balances shown on the previous page. Because certain transactions are reflected at different times in the general ledger as compared to the City's bank account, the combined "Bank" and "LAIF" balances will rarely equal precisely the City's general ledger cash balance. The City performs a monthly "bank reconciliation" to reconcile these balances. **Funds with zero or negative cash balances are not shown above. Those with negative balances are offset against the General Fund cash balance.

These funds consist of General Fund monies made available by ARPA, and will be used on a range of councildesignated special projects. "Unassigned" Fund Balance: $21.76 million: This category of fund balance is generally synonymous with the City's discretionary General Fund reserves.

56 PUBLIC SAFETY
STATUS REPORT
March 2024
PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
L.A. COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
1. Part 1 Crimes Part 1 crimes have experienced an increase of 16.44% compared to the same period last year, but there's a 9.57% reduction when compared to the data from five years ago (2019). The primary driver to the increase is 6 additional incidents of Grand Theft Autos, where Kia’s and Hyundais are the primary target and 5 more incidents of Burglaries compared to the corresponding period last year.
We've observed a significant uptick in arrests over the past month, which plays a crucial role in combating instances of Part 1 crimes. In February 2023, there were a total of 43 arrests, consisting of 4 felonies and 39 misdemeanors. However, in February 2024, we saw a substantial increase, with a total of 88 arrests, including 15 felonies and 73 misdemeanors. This surge in arrests demonstrates our proactive approach in addressing criminal activity and underscores our commitment to maintaining community safety.
In compliance with the Council's directive, the City of Duarte has been incorporated into the $0 bail injunction relief. We are presenting case examples involving arrests, re-arrests, and their respective outcomes.
Additionally, we have offered recommendations to enhance the existing Bail schedule for improvement.
2. Special Assignment
Team
Our team is actively conducting overnight patrols in targeted areas of the city to combat the escalating issue of Catalytic Converter Thefts and Commercial Burglaries. Through collaborative efforts with neighboring agencies, we successfully apprehended a male Hispanic in the midst of committing a commercial burglary on the 1100 block of Huntington Drive.
Notably, this location has been targeted in the past, and the apprehended suspect utilized a comparable method to gain entry. He is currently under investigation for possible involvement in other burglaries within the city.
The successful execution of a Special Probation Operation across four properties resulted in the apprehension of two individuals. These proactive probation sweeps not only bolster law enforcement efforts but also significantly contribute to fostering safer communities. By targeting areas of concern and apprehending those who violate probation terms, such operations serve as a crucial deterrent to criminal activities, ultimately safeguarding the well-being and security of the community at large.
57 PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
3. Neighborhood
Watch
Our Sheriff’s Deputies recently conducted an in-person fraud scam awareness event tailored specifically for the elderly community, hosted at Westminster Gardens. This enlightening presentation was designed to equip elderly individuals with the knowledge and strategies necessary to avoid falling victim to scams.
MEASURE H and OUTREACH COORDINATION
1. Outreach
Coordinator
Tony Hadloc, the Outreach Coordinator, has been serving in this position since August 2018. According to his unofficial homeless count for the month, there are 26 individuals experiencing homelessness. Over the course of this month, Tony Hadloc has had 142 interactions with individuals facing homelessness, providing them with essential services and information regarding Duarte Regulations.
Emily Lepone, our dedicated Code Enforcement Officer, assumed her role on October 3, 2022. Since then, she has been diligently overseeing the enforcement of regulations related to outdoor camps, shopping carts, park rules, public right-of-way violations, and addressing nuisances within both our commercial establishments and residential areas. Her proactive initiatives have yielded significant results, including the protection of vacant businesses and their utilities, as well as safeguarding occupied businesses from utility theft. Her current focal point revolves around the Duarte LA County Library, Duarte Teen Center, Big Lots shopping center and CarMax.
In partnership with the City Manager's office, the City of Duarte has been awarded a $10,000 grant. This funding is designated to enhance resources for service providers and cities, specifically targeting support for individuals facing homelessness or at-risk situations. The allocated funds will be directed towards direct housing-related expenses, including transportation, security deposits, first-month rent, furniture, and motel vouchers. The primary emphasis is on ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in client support without replacing existing resources.
2. L.A. CADA The L.A. CADA High Acuity Team, dedicated to assisting individuals experiencing homelessness for over a year, commenced their operations in the City of Duarte on August 2, 2022. During this reporting period the high acuity team engaged 16 individuals of which 7 were first-time encounters, 9 follow up with 0 individuals refusing supportive services. The primary areas with the highest number of encounters were identified as Duarte Teen Center, El Pollo Loco, and Duarte Senior Center.
Similarly, the L.A. CADA Supplemental Program, focused on individuals who are recently homeless or at risk of homelessness, began their work in the City on Thursday, September 22, 2022. During this reporting period the
58 PROJECT/PROGRAM STATUS
supplemental team engaged 20 individuals of which 8 were first-time encounters, 12 follow-ups with 2 individuals refusing supportive services.

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The Duarte Safe Routes to School Plan (SRTS Plan)
represents a multi-agency partnership to guide the
implementation of a comprehensive network of
safe streets surrounding eight schools in the City of
Duarte. The Plan assesses existing infrastructure and
provides recommendations for safety improvements
from a multimodal standpoint. The Plan outlines a
vision for enhancing conditions conducive to nonmotorized modes of transportation to schools, focusing on enhancing safety, accessibility, and connectivity. It merges planning initiatives with recommendations for
pedestrian and bicycle safety education to encourage and expand alternative modes of travel to individuals of all ages and abilities.
The Plan supplements and expands on the City of
Duarte’s existing Bicycle Master Plan (BMP) and
Complete Streets policy by investigating and evaluating the existing physical conditions and gathering data by
surveying users.
The SRTS Plan integrates strategies of the Safe Routes to School program, often denoted by the “6 Es”: Education, Engagement, Encouragement, Evaluation, Engineering,
and Equity. Each “E” is designed to eliminate obstacles that hinder students from walking, cycling, or rolling to school.
EDUCATION
Educational programs from the elementary to high
school levels and even to parents/guardians can have
lasting impacts on the effectiveness of implemented
treatments within the school community. More
specifically, education itself can equip students and
parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to
bike and walk to school.
ENGAGEMENT
Providing ongoing engagement opportunities
throughout the development of a SRTS Plan is critical
to ensure that the Plan reflects the needs expressed
by students, families, teachers, school leaders, and
community organizations.
ENCOURAGEMENT
School sites, districts, and cities and collateral agencies have the capabilities to encourage SRTS outcomes.
It is through a partnership between the school and
their students/families that most impactful results are realized. Encouragement can take place in the form of
events, clubs, and activities that inspire walking, biking, or carpooling through fun activities or incentives.
EVALUATION
Evaluation for SRTS planning relies on establishing
baseline metrics of travel mode, durations, barriers,
existing conditions, and others shown within this Plan.
Continued program evaluation in the future allows for
tracking of successes and the ability to modify the Plan in order to achieve desired results.
ENGINEERING
SRTS engineering tools are the physical improvements
that are used to help remove barriers and help create
safer and more convenient environments for walking
and biking. In particular, these improvement tools can be categorized as pedestrian, bicycle, and/or traffic calming improvements.
EQUITY
Efforts to support SRTS improvements within lowincome communities, communities of color, and beyond should be incorporated throughout the other E’s. In
doing so, SRTS improvements can help ensure safe and
equitable outcomes for all users.

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL?
The Safe Routes to School initiative is founded on the
idea of establishing safe travel options for students and families as they travel to and from school. The mitigation of barriers and promotion of more convenient walking
and biking routes both contribute to a comprehensive
approach. Through infrastructure and programming
improvements, cities are creating SRTS Plans to help
fund projects that will contribute to a safer school area environment and promote walking and biking in their
communities.
HOW TO USE THIS SAFE
ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN
This Safe Routes to School Plan encompasses all the
outreach, data collection, analyses, and recommendations arising from this planning effort. The comprehensive
SRTS Plan can serve a variety of stakeholders:
• Parents/Guardians: This SRTS Plan can help
parents and guardians understand the conditions
at their child’s school and become acquainted with
proposed improvements to make walking and biking
to school safer.
• City Officials and Staff: This SRTS Plan can be
used by city officials and staff to identify concerns
and opportunities connected to improving walking
and biking conditions, as well as to prioritizing
potential short- and long-term infrastructure
upgrades. This SRTS Plan can also be used by staff to
pursue SRTS funding sources.
• Duarte Unified School District and School
Staff: This SRTS Plan can be used by the Duarte
Unified School District and school staff to continue
or develop programs that educate and encourage
students and parents/guardians to seek alternatives
to driving to school.
STUDY AREA
This comprehensive SRTS Plan encompassed a citywide
effort, entailing the assessment and proposal of
improvements for eight schools situated in Duarte. To
achieve this initiative, the Project Team collaborated
closely with the Duarte Unified School District and other school officials. The eight schools that participated in the plan development were:
• Beardslee Academy
• Maxwell Academy
• Royal Oaks STEAM Academy
• Valley View Academy
• California School of the Arts
• Duarte High School
• Mount Olive Innovation and Technology High
School
• Opportunities for Learning
The Project Team collaborated with school administrators who were involved in the on-site evaluations, both
before, during, and after the assessments. Efforts were aimed to foster active engagement from both school staff and community members, facilitating student outreach,
data collection, and the development of context-specific recommendations.

86 DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 5
CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION
1. IMPROVE SAFETY.
The foundational goal of SRTS is inherent to the title
of the program, “safe routes.” The target audience
that school treatments are prepared for is from
kindergarten to 12th grade students and families
who walk, bike, and roll to school. These users
are designated as a vulnerable population where
infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements
can help school areas become safer to navigate.
OBJECTIVE:
Improve the safety of walking, biking, and rolling to/
from school for students and families.
2. ENHANCE ACCESSIBILITY.
Pedestrians and bicyclists depend on complete
routes to school. Access is diminished when there
are gaps in sidewalk coverage or a lack of proper
crossing support. It is the goal of this Plan to make
school areas accessible with intuitive and complete
infrastructure that works for all ability levels and ages.
A walkable and bikeable environment is an accessible
environment.
OBJECTIVE:
Help students and families access school zones and
the overall community areas.
3. STRENGTHEN PUBLIC HEALTH.
The positive development of safe and complete
school infrastructure that promotes non-motorized
transportation can have the added benefit of also
improving the health of school students and families.
Health impacts can be encouraged through the
development of school infrastructure and SRTS
programming that serves user needs.
OBJECTIVE:
Increase physical activity of students in the City to
improve cardiovascular health.
4. ADVANCE EQUITY.
The Plan aspires to build a healthier and safer Duarte
where all demographic groups benefit from SRTS
initiatives.
OBJECTIVE:
Provide improvements that help ensure safe and
equitable outcomes for all users.

CHAPTER 04 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
Critical to any safety planning effort is ensuring that the process is community-driven, reaching out to residents, students, staff and visitors to share their experiences along Duarte’s schools and roadways. A Community Outreach and Marketing Strategies Plan (COMSP) was created at the onset of the project by the Duarte Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Team to build awareness on the SRTS Plan and engagement with the Duarte community. A variety of notification materials such as branded print and digital flyers and fact sheets were developed to promote public involvement in the SRTS planning process. Additional digital outreach materials that were produced included a project website, social media content, and an interactive GIS-based mapping survey. All materials were provided in English, Spanish, and Mandarin to better engage with Duarte’s Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking community. Overall, the COMSP functioned as a guide to assist the SRTS Team in creating the materials mentioned as well as coordinating and implementing robust grassroots outreach efforts.

PROJECT BRANDING
As part of the development of digital and print notification materials, a project logo was created to establish the
project’s identity and branding. The project logo reflects the City’s own branding style to ensure that Duarte
community members can easily recognize the project.
All print and digital notification materials contained
the project logo to further grow the project’s branding presence.
PARTNERSHIPS
Throughout every stage of outreach, the SRTS Team invested in partnerships to expand the level of community involvement, checking in with nearly 25 different partner organization and sites. This included school site administration teams, district leadership, community-based organizations, civic organizations, and agency commissions. At every step, partners were encouraged to leverage their networks of relationships with residents and community members, increasing the number of diverse voices and perspectives that provided input into the SRTS Plan.
Key partners included the following:

CHAPTER 04 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
COMMUNICATION TOOLS
In order to increase awareness of the project throughout the community and schools, the SRTS Team distributed social media advertisements, flyers, and email blasts. A project email account was listed on notification materials to provide community members the opportunity to directly engage with the SRTS Team. Printed materials also included a QR code that linked to the project website where community members could learn more about the project, see upcoming events and meetings, and provide feedback via the GIS mapping survey. The next page demonstrates some of the materials shared with participating schools and the City via social media. Appendix A contains materials that were used throughout the project such as the project website, surveys, press release, email notifications, and social media toolkits. A write up of survey results as well as survey forms used can be found in Appendix B.
EVENTS AND COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS
The SRTS Team coordinated and staffed three (3) community events and three (3) community workshops with support from Safe Moves staff. These events and workshops were conducted in person to better engage with community members and collect feedback.
A. COMMUNITY EVENTS
The SRTS Team worked closely with City staff to identify three (3) community events to engage with Duarte residents.
These events featured tri-lingual materials such as fact sheets, surveys, and display boards to engage with a diverse range of community members. Event staff also prompted community members to sign-up to receive project updates related to the SRTS Plan.
In all, staff engaged with over 100 community members at these events. Participation in these events was instrumental to increasing community awareness and engagement. Summaries and other materials from these event are located in Appendix C.

during the development of the SRTS Plan to collect
feedback on draft recommendations and input on the
Draft Plan. The three (3) community workshops were
held at two community events and at one City facility.
These workshops were held at City-hosted events
and community spaces to help increase participation.
Workshop quick highlights and other materials are

WALKING SAFETY
ASSESSMENTS (WSAS)
Walking Safety Assessments (WSAs) were held at eight
participating schools during the 2022 – 2023 academic
year. A Walking Safety Assessment (or “walk audit”) was conducted to inform attendees of the SRTS Plan goals,
allow participants to note safety concerns surrounding
their school, and remain engaged through future outreach events. Participants in the WSAs included parents, school staff, crossing guards, students, and interested community members. An additional WSA was performed at the
Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station due to its proximity
to both Duarte High School and California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley.
Flyers and social media postings were created to help
promote the WSAs for each school. WSAs were scheduled
either during the drop-off period in the morning or the pick-up period in the afternoon. This allowed the SRTS
Team to observe traffic conditions and pedestrian and
bicyclist activity at each school. Materials such as sign-in sheets from the WSAs are located in Appendix C.

STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS
Five (5) Stakeholder Meetings were conducted with several key stakeholder groups identified by the SRTS Team and City staff. Key stakeholder group members included community leaders and representatives from local businesses and/ or organizations. These meetings provided an opportunity for each group to receive information on the project and ask questions regarding the SRTS Plan.
In addition, the SRTS Team engaged with each stakeholder group directly to inform them of project updates throughout the development of the SRTS Plan. Stakeholders were also asked to share information on upcoming events, community workshops, and the release of the Draft Plan amongst their network of friends and family to help increase project participation. Stakeholder meeting quick highlights and materials such as sign-in sheets are located in Appendix C.

CORE TEAM MEETINGS
The SRTS Team also established a site-specific “Core
Team” for each school with guidance from school staff.
Core Teams comprised of teachers, parents, students
(high school only), and additional school district
representatives. Core Team members participated in
two (2) virtual meetings to learn about the SRTS Plan
and provide input on draft recommendations. Because
the Core Team members know their school campus and
the surrounding area best, detailed feedback on safety
issues and behaviors (including those that were not
immediately apparent) were gathered to develop tailored recommendations for each school. Core Team Meeting
quick highlights and summaries are located in Appendix
C.
GO HUMAN SAFER STREETS
POP-UP DEMONSTRATION
A Go Human Safer Streets Pop-Up Demonstration was
conducted by the SRTS Team to showcase potential street treatments such as an artistic crosswalk, pedestrian refuge island, and a separated bike lane. The Demonstration
coincided with the “Anything for Salinas” Summer
Concert event on Monday, July 31, 2023 at Beardslee Park.
The Go Human Kit of Parts was installed along Galen
Street, a street adjacent to the event location. Staff
consisted of English, Spanish, and Mandarin speakers to ensure that the Team could engage with a diverse range of community members.
The SRTS Team, with support from Safe Moves staff,
engaged with about 100 concert attendees and collected
39 surveys. Refer to Appendix C for the full summary of the demonstration.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
BEARDSLEE DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION ACADEMY
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• Beardslee Academy shares its campus with a
preschool, whose entrance is located near the corner
of Buena Vista Street and Kellwil Drive. However,
school times are different enough to not have major
traffic effects.
• Some students, parents, and staff were observed
using Foothill Transit to access the school.
Additionally, at least one student biked to school,
while at least two students used a scooter to reach
school grounds
• Speeding was observed among all streets in and
near the study area, but especially along Buena Vista
Street, Galen Street, and Broadland Avenue.
• Some participants commented that they wished to
see street lighting in the project area improved.
• Several area streets don't have sidewalks, resulting in significant numbers of students walking in the street.
• Parents coming from the north and west to dropoff students along Delford Avenue will access it via Broadland Avenue and Galen Street, elevating cutthrough traffic during peak hours. • During times of traffic congestion at the intersection of Duarte Road and Buena Vista Street, drivers will
detour around the intersection and past the school to
reach the other arterial corridor.
Corridor #1 (Kellwil Way)
• Drivers will use the bus stop area for standing and
drop-off.
• It’s common for parents to double-park to drop-off
students.
• Some parents will utilize the parking lot west of
the school’s main entrance to pick-up and drop-off
students.
• Close calls sometimes occur between cars leaving the
parking lot and the cars traveling along Kellwil Way
due to limited visibility around parked cars.
Corridor #2 (Delford Avenue)
• Beardslee Academy uses construction cones to
create a makeshift drop-off lane near the school’s
side entrance. The area is only wide enough for one
car, so traffic is encouraged to drop-off students and
continue moving. Occasionally, a parent will park
in the drop-off lane, blocking the flow of traffic and
keeping others from exiting.
• Drivers who choose not to wait in the drop-off queue
will drop-off or park along the curb adjacent to the
school.
• School buses will park alongside the curb adjacent
to the school, sometimes using space otherwise
allocated for drop-off.
• Garbage trucks will sometimes block traffic during
pick-up/drop-off, causing congestion during peak
periods.
• While discouraged, especially when staff are present, some parents will use driveways for U-turns.
Corridor #3 (Buena Vista Street)
• Traffic generally moves much faster than the 25-mph
school zone signs allow during pick-up and drop-off.
• It’s not uncommon for pedestrians to cross midblock to reach streets on the east side of the corridor.
Corridor #4 (Galen Street)
• Drivers will sometimes use the bus stop area for
drop-off.
• West of the school, the roadway curves to the south,
limiting visibility, especially for drivers heading
east. Parked cars present near the ends of the curve
exacerbate the issue. Because there are no sidewalks
on the street’s south side, students walk in the street.
Parents reported some close calls between on-street
students and speeding drivers.
Intersection #1 (Kellwil Way & Buena Vista Street)
• There is a crossing guard posted at this intersection. • There is an overhead flashing beacon at this
intersection. The light, which is designed to
flash at certain times of the day, was off during
morning arrival. Participants noted it only worked
occasionally.
• The crossing guard at this intersection deploys her
own cones to protect the crosswalk, with moderate
success.
• It’s not uncommon for drivers to ignore the crossing
guard and speed through the intersection anyway.
• Without a crossing guard present, traffic moving
through this intersection often does not stop for
pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
• Participants expressed potential safety concerns
regarding people experiencing homelessness loitering
around the bus stop next to the school.
• Sometimes, traffic in one lane will stop for
pedestrians, but drivers in the other lane will pass
them and attempt to go through the intersection
anyway, resulting in several near-miss incidents.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
BEARDSLEE DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION ACADEMY
Intersection #2 (Kellwil Way
and Earlington Avenue)
• There is a crossing guard posted at this intersection. • The west crosswalk at this intersection was relocated to be closer to the intersection. However, the old
crosswalk, next to the new crosswalk, is still visible, confusing the students who cross at this intersection.
(As of February 2024, this observation has been
addressed)
Intersection #3 (Kellwil Way and Delford Avenue)
• There is a crossing guard posted at this intersection. • At night, some drivers will perform donuts at this
intersection.
• While not marked, the crossing guard will sometimes
allow diagonal crossings at this intersection.
• Participants asked for a crosswalk on the north side
of this intersection.
• In times of heavy fog, it’s difficult for drivers to see the crossing guard or pedestrians.
Intersection #4 (Delford Avenue & Galen Street)
• This intersection is uncontrolled. Some drivers will
ignore the implied yield for traffic traveling south on Delford Avenue.
• Speeding was observed through this intersection.
• Participants requested better crosswalk paint and
speed control mechanisms at this intersection, along
with a crosswalk on the intersection’s west side.
• Traffic moving through this intersection often does
not stop for pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
Some drivers will continue through the intersection
even when a pedestrian is crossing.
• Drivers will sometimes use the parking lane to
pass stopped cars, potentially endangering crossing
pedestrians.
• Participants in the WSA requested a three-way stop
and a crossing guard at this intersection.
Intersection #5 (Broadland Avenue & Kellwil Way)
• Parents said that a significant number of students
navigate this intersection and requested crosswalk
and school crossing signage to be installed
here. There are currently no crosswalks at this
uncontrolled intersection.
• Participants reported several near misses here
between turning vehicles.
Intersection #6 (Broadland Avenue & Galen Street)
• There is no crosswalk at this uncontrolled
intersection. However, students do cross here.
• Traffic will often speed through this uncontrolled
intersection from all approaches, ignoring the
implied yield for traffic traveling south on Delford
Avenue and creating safety issues between turning
and non-turning vehicles.
Intersection #7 (Broadland Avenue
& Starhaven Avenue)
• A substantial number of students walk down
Starhaven Avenue to/from school.
• There are no crosswalks at this uncontrolled
intersection, and there are no sidewalks along
Starhaven Avenue
Other Intersections and Corridors
• Parents said that the intersection of Huntsview
Street and Broach Avenue is a potential collision hot
spot, due to speeding.

CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
ROYAL OAKS STEAM ACADEMY
Corridor #1 (School Driveways)
• Royal Oaks Academy has separate pick-up area for
certain students. K-2nd Grade students are picked up
near the cafeteria, in Parking Lot A. 3rd-5th Graders
are picked up from the far end of Parking Lot B,
under the Marquee. 6th – 8th Graders are picked-up
from the entrance between Rooms 32 and 33, also in
Parking Lot B. Shuttles and Buses pick up curbside
along the southwest side of Parking Lot A.
• During pick-up and drop-off times, parents must
queue until there is available curb space. Traffic often backs up outside the school.
• Buses, Vans, and parents picking up students in
3rd-8th grades must make a left turn into Parking
Lot B, crossing in front of the pedestrians and
vehicles leaving campus. Frequent enough conflicts
occur here that school staff directs traffic at this
intersection.
• Double parking to pick-up and drop-off students in
every pick-up area is common.
• Some parents will use the parking lot areas to pick-up and drop-off students instead.
• Most middle school students leaving campus will
cross through the parking lot to reach the main
pathway exiting campus. The pathway to the main
walkway is sparingly used and conflicts with drivers
is common.
• Some parents stuck in the queue will release students from their spot in line. Students will then walk
through the parking lot to reach the school.
• Speeding towards the exit in Parking Lot A’s exit lane (marked in Red) is common.
Corridor #2 (Royal Oaks Drive)
• Royal Oaks Drive lacks sidewalks along nearly all
its north side. Sidewalks on the street’s south side
end after the intersection with Mount Olive Drive,
forcing most pedestrians to use the Donald and
Bernice Watson Recreation Trail or walk on the
street.
• Before pick-up begins and during drop-off, traffic
backs up from the intersection with the school in
both directions, sometimes extending down and past,
Mount Olive Drive and Las Lomas Road.
• A queue will begin to form to enter the school
around 2:15 PM.
• Some parents will utilize curb space on either side
of the street to pick-up and drop-off students. When
there is a queue of drivers attempting to turn left
into the school, through traffic traveling west on
Royal Oaks must wait behind the cars picking up and
dropping off students.
• Some parents will drop-off students from the leftturn lane or the center of the roadway. • There are few signs denoting the area as a school
zone along Royal Oaks Drive.
• Very few intersections have marked crosswalks.
• Students will attempt to cross the street at the
intersection of the exit to Parking Lot B and Royal
Oaks Drive. This is also a location where conflicts
between trail users and exiting vehicles can occur.
• Royal Oaks Drive can experience heavy commuter
traffic, especially when traffic on parallel roads is
poor.
• Visibility around the curve at Oakhaven Drive west
of the school is poor.
Corridor #3 (Donald and Bernice
Watson Recreation Trail)
• A significant number of students and parents utilize
the trail in both directions, with most walking
towards Royal Oaks Park. Many parents will park
nearby and use the trail to access Royal Oaks
Academy.
• About 5-10 students were directly observed using
bicycles, skateboards, and scooters to exit campus.
• The bike trail ends at Vineyard Avenue, turning into
a pathway through Royal Oaks Park. However, due
to the high speeds on Royal Oaks Drive, many trail
users continue through the park until the path ends
near the intersection of Las Lomas Road and Royal
Oaks Drive.
• Besides a set of stairs at Oak Avenue, the Donald and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail only has entrances
where streets or driveways intersect it. After Mt.
Olive Drive, west of the school, the nearest trail exit near a marked pedestrian crosswalk is nearly a mile
away.
• Because of the lack of exits, it’s common for trail
users to cross through the grass to exit the trail and
cross Royal Oaks drive to reach their destination,
regardless if there’s a crosswalk or not.
• Roots from the trees adjacent to the trail have caused the trail to crack in some areas.
• Participants talked about individuals experiencing
homelessness loitering under the Oak Avenue
Pedestrian Bridge and using the adjacent stairs to
urinate, making it unpleasant for trail users.

DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 65
CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
ROYAL OAKS STEAM ACADEMY
• Planters placed at the end of the Oak Avenue
Pedestrian Bridge make biking over it difficult.
• Participants expressed that lighting along the trail
feels inadequate and the street crossings were hard to
navigate at night.
• When the trail is below-grade, it is prone to flooding in periods of heavy rain.
• Conflicts between pedestrians and bikers can occur
during peak usage times.
Intersection #1 (Royal Oaks Drive, the Donald
and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail, and
the Royal Oaks Academy Driveway)
• Traffic waiting to turn right into Royal Oaks
Academy must wait in the travel lane, causing a
significant backup. Sometimes drivers will maneuver
around the waiting cars by driving in the opposite
travel lane. There have been several near-miss traffic
crashes at this intersection as a result.
• While this intersection has a left-turn lane, it cannot accomodate the left-turning traffic during peak
hours. Cars will queue in the center of the street for
several hundred feet leading up to the intersection.
• There is only one travel lane entering Royal Oaks
Academy. Once the pick-up or drop-off queue
extends to the school’s gate, no traffic is able to enter the school.
• When traffic extends to the gate, some cars, vans,
and buses will enter school from the opposing travel
lanes.
• There is a crossing guard present at this intersection.
However, the crossing guard is only authorized
to monitor the intersection of the driveway and
Royal Oaks Drive, not the intersection of the school
driveway and the Donald and Bernice Watson
Recreation Trail
• There are constant conflicts between pedestrians on
the Donald and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail and
traffic on the school’s driveway. Some pedestrians
will cross the driveway while cars are turning left into the driveway. Pedestrians will also cross in front of
cars attempting to navigate through the intersection.
• Cars will often block the trail while waiting at the
intersection, either for the light or for the space to
enter school.
• Drivers turning left into Royal Oaks Academy will
sometimes wait in the center of the intersection.
• There is often conflict between right-turning and
left-turning drivers at this intersection. Left-turning traffic will sometimes block through traffic to gain
space in the queue to enter the school.
• Parents who drop-off students before the
intersection will execute a mid-block U-Turn
before the intersection, blocking traffic from both
directions.
• Participants requested better signage for the
intersection of the Driveway and the Donald
and Bernice Watson Recreation Trail. They
also commented that the current signage is too
inconspicuous and too high.
• Pedestrians approaching Royal Oaks Academy from
the east must cross the school driveway before
entering the school grounds.
Intersection #2 (Royal Oaks
Drive & Las Lomas Road)
• During peak times, traffic turning left onto Royal
Oaks Drive will queue on Las Lomas Road to
Huntington Drive.
• Bikers coming from the Donald and Bernice Watson
Recreation Trail experience difficulties navigating
this intersection due to a street name and stop sign
pole located near the center of the sidewalk and
traffic at this intersection.
Intersection #3 (Royal Oaks Drive
& Mount Olive Drive)
• During peak times, traffic turning right onto Royal
Oaks Drive will queue on Mount Olive Drive to
Huntington Drive. Queues will also form along Royal
Oaks Drive to the west to Oakhaven Drive.
• There is a crossing guard posted at this intersection.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• A parent reported that students crossing Huntington
Drive at I-605 will often experience conflicts with
turning drivers at this intersection.

SCHOOL PROFILE
VALLEY VIEW ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGY AND CREATIVE LEARNING Valley View Academy is located at 237 Melcanyon Road. The school fronts Deerlane Drive and is accessible via several surrounding local streets. Encanto Parkway, the neighborhood’s major collector street, and Royal Oaks Drive, a minor collector street that largely runs parallel to Huntington Drive, connect to the network of local streets that surround the school. The school was formerly served by Foothill Transit’s Duarte Blue (860) and Duarte Green Routes (861). As of February 2024, transit riders must reach the school from a route 861 stop located at Royal Oaks Drive and Greenbank Avenue.
Valley View Academy is situated in a neighborhood largely characterized by low-density residential development.
However, the school and surrounding neighborhoods are in proximity to three neighborhood parks. It serves grades TK-6. The school has an 8:35 AM start time and a 2:53 PM dismissal time. While primarily a community school, the school serves students from across Duarte.

CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
VALLEY VIEW ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGY AND CREATIVE LEARNING General Comments and Observations
• Access to Melcanyon Road, Opal Canyon Road, and
sections of Brookridge Road are restricted when
yellow/red mud flow condition alerts exist. When
this occurs, Valley View Academy utilizes a pick-up
and drop-off pattern where parents are encouraged
to use Conata Street and Larkhall Avenue to access a
pick-up area along the north side of Deerlane Drive.
School staff have used physical signage and digital
messaging to inform parents about mud flow-related
traffic changes, with mixed results.
• Parents dropping off students on Melcanyon Road
may choose to use Opal Canyon Road, Mountain
Crest Road, and Brookridge Road to access the
school. Because of the popularity of the school’s
side exit, it’s possible that these traffic movements
substantially affect traffic volumes along the
corridors listed above.
• There is limited parking for persons with disabilities in and around the school, and the number of
handicap spaces is sometimes a point of contention
between parents and school staff.
• Valley View Academy accepts students from both
its front door along Deerlane Drive and its side gate
along Melcanyon Road. In the morning, students can
use any gate. In the afternoon, approximately 175 TK2nd grade students leave from the side gate, and the remaining 75 3rd-6th grade students with disabilities
and students utilizing vans or buses use the school’s
front gate, regardless of grade.
• Drop-Offs begin as early as 7:30 AM, and peak
around 8:25 AM. Traffic conditions are generally
worse in the afternoon than they are in the morning,
and parents will arrive up to one hour before pick-up
to secure parking.
• Bike racks are provided, but participants did not
report seeing students bike to school.
• Double-parking in order to drop-off or pick-up
students is common along both streets adjacent to
the school.
• Speeding occurs along both streets adjacent to the
school.
• Ideas floated as possible recommendations were:
A “valet” program, where staff open car doors for
students, Speed feedback signage in the area, speed
bumps/humps, mid-block crossings, and intersection
bulb-outs.
Corridor #1 (Deerlane Drive and
the School Driveway)
• Deerlane Drive in front of the school becomes a no
parking zone when Yellow/Red Mud flow conditions
exist.
• Both sides of the street between Larkhall Avenue and
Fieldview Avenue are used for drop-off and pick-up.
• The school’s one-way driveway is accessed from
Melcanyon Road and ends on Deerlane Drive, before
the school’s main entrance. It is for commercial
vehicles only, despite the vans, buses, and parents
that utilize it.
• Drop-offs and pick-ups in no parking zones are
common despite staff discouragement. Looper
cones are sometimes placed in front of these areas to
prevent parents from stopping, with mixed results.
• Foothill Transit maintained a bus stop for Route 861
on Deerlane Drive between Melcanyon Road and
the exit for the school’s driveway. The bus sign was
incorrectly angled. A crossing guard and some school
staff ride the bus to campus. The bus stop for Route
860, Route 861’s counterpart, was located along
Brookridge Road north of the school. As of February
2024, the bus stops near Valley View Academy are no
longer served by any transit services.
Corridor #2 (Melcanyon Road)
• Modular concrete barriers line Melcanyon Road
from Fish Canyon Road to Brookridge Road, limiting
potential areas for drop-off and pick-up. Parking is
not allowed on the west side of the street between
Deerlane Drive and Brookridge Road and on either
side of the street from Fish Canyon Road to Deerlane
Drive.
• If no curb space is available, parents will wait in
traffic for space to open up before dropping off their
children.
• Some drivers will pick-up and drop-off students
beside semi-permanent modular concrete barriers
when they are present along the street's east side.
• Some drivers will also block the driveways to the
homes located on the east side of Melcanyon Road
to drop-off and pick-up students. At least one
homeowner has posted a “Do Not Block Driveway”
sign.
• Many students were observed crossing mid-block in
order to access the school’s side gate.
• Participants said that a select number of students
walk home to the south along Melcanyon Road.
• Drivers from the south will use private driveways

Intersection #1 (Deerlane Drive
& Melcanyon Road)
• Many students cross here. A crossing guard has been
posted at this intersection for about 1.5 years
• Many of these students that approach this
intersection from the south are dropped-off on or
escorted by their parents from Opal Canyon Road,
the only area to the southeast of the school where
on-street parking is allowed.
• Foothill Transit Route 861, which stopped after
making a right turn onto Deerlane Drive, sometimes
had a difficult time making the wide right turn due
to parents waiting for afternoon dismissal in the no
parking zone. As of February 2024, this bus stops is
no longer served by any transit service.
• Participants requested a stop sign at this intersection.
Intersection #2 (Larkhall Avenue & Deerlane Drive)
• Many students cross here. A crossing guard has been
posted at this intersection since August 2022.
• When the crossing guard is not present, vehicles will block the crosswalk to drop-off and pick-up students
• Participants expressed concern regarding the lack of
a crosswalk on the intersection’s west side.
• During peak hours, parents will park along Larkhall
Avenue in order to pick-up and drop-off students.
• Participants requested a stop sign at this intersection.
Intersection #3 (Opal Canyon
Road & Melcanyon Road)
• Despite students crossing at this intersection in
the morning and afternoon, there are no marked
crosswalks.
Intersection #4 (Melcanyon Road
and Fish Canyon Road)
• The four-way stop at this intersection is often
ignored, especially by cars traveling north along
Melcanyon Road.
• There is no marked crosswalk for pedestrians to cross Melcanyon Road on either side of the street.
Intersection #5 (Fieldview
Avenue & Deerlane Drive)
• There is no marked crosswalk along the west side of
this intersection.
• Speeding was observed here and participants
expressed a desire to see a stop sign installed at this intersection.
• Modular concrete barriers are placed along the south
sides of this intersection during red/yellow mud
flow-related conditions, preventing on-street parking
in these situatious.
Other Corridors and Intersections
• In the afternoon, some students walk along
Deerlane Drive, Larkhall Avenue, Conata Street,
Greenbank Avenue, and Royal Oaks Drive to access
a condominium complex along Royal Oaks Drive.
There are several portions of this route that don't
have sidewalks, curb cuts, and painted crosswalks.
• A participant expressed concern about speeding
along Greenbank Avenue.
• On Brookridge Road, between Melcanyon Road and
Opal Canyon Road, the north sidewalk is inaccessible
to those using wheeled mobility devices. The Duarte
Green (Route 861) bus stop at this location is also
inaccessible for people using mobility devices.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS - SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• The areas covered during this WSA are also partially
covered by WSAs conducted at Duarte High School
(DHS) and the Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station.
However, the observations in this section are unique
to this WSA and the points recorded on this WSA's
"Observations and Assessment Comments Map" are
unique to this WSA.
• Duarte High School and the California School of
the Arts - San Gabriel Valley have similar starting
times, resulting in compounding traffic during dropoff times. In the afternoon, DHS largely releases students around 3:30 PM, and CS Arts releases
students at 5:00 PM. On Fridays, however CS Arts
release students between 2:45 PM and 3:30 PM.
• Utilizing a free Metro student pass, around
300 students (30% of enrollment) utilize public
transportation to access CS Arts. Some students also
bike and roll to/from campus, and many of them also
ride public transportation. All surrounding corridors
see notable afternoon pedestrian traffic.
• Speeding was observed along all corridors in and near the study area.
• The sidewalks along Central Avenue and Highland
Avenue experience significant crowding during peak
travel periods.
• Parents remarked that street lighting along corridors in the study area is inadequate. A considerable
number of students leave campus in the evening. In
the winter, all students are dismissed after sunset on
most instruction days.
Corridor #1 (Central Avenue)
• Mid-block crossings in front of the school are
common. Participants suggested a signalized crossing
here.
• Parents will utilize Duarte High School’s west staff
lot and CS Arts’ Staff/Visitor lot to drop off students. • Parked cars in proximity to the parking lot entrances limit sight lines at these intersections. As a result,
there have been numerous close calls and at least
three crashes occurring between cars leaving the staff
parking and cars traveling on Central Avenue.
• Participants suggested using some of the
underutilized Northview Park for sidewalk and
parking space.
• The sidewalk along Central Avenue was reported
to be difficult to navigate for those using wheeled
mobility devices.
Corridor #2 (Highland Avenue)
• Some of the crossings heavily utilized by CS Arts
students heading to the Metro station do not have
crosswalks.
• Cars turning from Evergreen Avenue and Fasana
Road will block the sidewalk to look for traffic before turning. Participants reported several close calls with drivers at these intersections.
• The Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station is largely
perceived as safe, but there have been incidents
where students have been followed along Highland
Avenue by belligerent riders.
• There is occasionally a sheriff’s officer around the
metro station near start and dismissal times.
• Students will sometimes evade or go under the
crossing gates where Highland Avenue crosses the
Metro tracks.
• The queue to enter the CS Arts driveway will
sometimes extend to Huntington Drive during peak
times. It can also cause traffic to build up in the leftand right- turning lanes on Huntington Drive as well. • Low visibility due to sunlight and speeding along
Highland Avenue caused a pedestrian death at the
I-210 underpass.
Corridor #3 (The California School of the
Arts – San Gabriel Valley Driveway)
• Pick-up and drop-off Traffic is routed around the
perimeter of the CS Arts parking lot, with students
generally exiting and entering vehicles along the
curbs next to school buildings.
• Some drivers will cut through the parking lot to
pick-up and drop-off students instead, blocking
teachers and staff from exiting their parking spaces.
Cones sometimes used to prevent this have not been
recently used.
• A blue crosswalk connects the drop-off area to the
parking lot, but students will run across at any point. • Parents face substantial delays trying to exit the
CS Arts driveway, causing traffic to build along the
entirety of the parking lot’s perimeter.
Corridor #4 (Pony Ranch Road)
• A series of service streets and an extension of Pony
Ranch Road connect CS Arts and Duarte High
School to each other, as well as to Huntington Drive,
Duarte Park, and the Duarte Unified School District’s
Facilities Yard.
• Pony Ranch Road between the DUSD parking lot and
162
DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 81
CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS - SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
Duarte High School staff parking lot is technically
closed to everyone except district vehicles. However,
the route is routinely used by private vehicles (one/
minute at peak).
• Speeding through this corridor is common.
Participants say that signs posted encouraging drivers
to watch for pedestrians are easy to miss and not very
effective.
• During class times, CS Arts students must cross
Pony Ranch Road to reach classes located in the 400
building. Students reported several conflicts and
near-miss incidents with vehicles traveling too fast
along the alley. CS Arts Staff have suggested placing
restricted access gates on both sides of the crosswalk
to close a gap in the campus perimeter and restrict
traffic to authorize personnel only.
• DUSD-controlled gates located at the entrance to
the maintenance complex and just south of the
CS Arts crosswalk are usually left open. When the
maintenance complex gate is closed, pedestrians are
still allowed to walk though to access Huntington
Drive. Parents & Staff suggested automated gates at
both points.
• Pony Ranch Road is one way from Central Avenue
to the maintenance complex. However, drivers
routinely turn left from the CS Arts parking lot and
head in the wrong direction towards Central Avenue.
• Participants suggested codifying an official pathway
through this area to Huntington Drive.
Intersection #1 (Central Avenue
& Highland Avenue)
• A crossing guard is present at this intersection.
• During peak times, drivers turning towards/from the
east at this intersection experience frequent conflicts with students crossing the street. Participants
reported incidents where drivers cut in front of
students in the crosswalk.
• This intersection lacks left-turn phases and drivers
making turns here experience delays during peak
hours.
• During peak times, around 25-40 students at a time
cross Central Avenue to the south. Another 5-15
students cross Highland Avenue to the west. If there
is not enough space to wait at the corner, a queue
will form along Central Avenue to cross the street.
Intersection #2 (Highland Avenue & the California
School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley Driveway)
• There is a crossing guard at this intersection
protecting the crosswalk crossing the CS Arts
driveway.
• Some students will attempt to cross Highland
Avenue here, despite the lack of crosswalk.
• Until the beginning of the 2022-2023 School
Year, traffic leaving CS Arts could only turn right.
However, left turns have been permitted since then.
The crossing guard reported that close calls between
southbound Highland Avenue drivers and leftturning drivers occurs about three times a week. • Participants suggested a signalized crossing for
pedestrians crossing Highland Avenue at this
intersection.
Intersection #3 (Central Avenue
& Buena Vista Street)
• There is no dedicated left turn phase at this
intersection, and the queue to turn left onto
Buena Vista Street can be long during peak hours.
Some drivers will continue straight through the
intersection and execute a mid-block U-turn to avoid
making a left.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• In the afternoon, many students leaving school walk
to destinations outside the study area, such as 7-11,
Target, the Old Spaghetti Factory, and Starbucks.
See the Duarte High School and Opportunities
for Learning Walking Safety Assessments for more
comments about the area.

RECOMMENDATIONS
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL OF THE ARTS - SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
Corridor #1 (Central Avenue)
• Replace existing " School Speed Limit Assembly
C(CA)" sign with a “School Speed Limit Assembly
C(CA) with Flashing Beacon” sign facing westbound
traffic approximately 250 feet after the intersection of Highland and Central Avenues
• Install “SCHOOL AHEAD” pavement markings
approximately 100 feet after the intersection of
Highland and Central Avenues to improve situational
awareness
• Remove the existing "School Advance Warning

Warning Assembly D(CA) with Flashing Beacon” sign
approximately 400 feet east of the same intersection
facing westbound traffic
• In order to prevent side collisions with pedestrians, active transportation users, and oncoming traffic,
conduct a sight and safety analysis to determine if
a “No Parking Zone” should be painted at the exit
to CS Arts' south parking lot on either side of the
driveway
• Remove existing sidewalk, curb, and gutter and
install wider sidewalks between Highland Avenue
and Bradbourne Avenue. This recommendation
aligns with development requirements for future
projects anticipated at the Westminster Gardens site
and the Mt. Olive Academy site
• Conduct a traffic speed survey to gauge speeding and
investigate feasibility of speed abatement-related
traffic calming, such as the installation of parking
edgelines, between Santo Domingo Avenue and
Bradbourne Avenue. This recommendation aligns

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
DUARTE HIGH SCHOOL
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• The areas covered during this WSA are also partially
covered by WSAs conducted at the California School
of the Arts - San Gabriel Valley and the Duarte/City
of Hope Metro Stration. However, the observations
in this section are unique to this WSA and the
points recorded on this WSA's "Observations and
Assessment Comments Map" are unique to this WSA.
• As of February 2024, Duarte High School's west
parking lot has closed to traffic due to school
construction, complicating traffic during pick-up and
drop-off. The staff who used to park here now park
in the parking lot adjacent to the Duarte Skatepark.
The students who used to park in that lot now park
in the parking lot adjacent to Bloomdale Street and
Brycedale Avenue.
• Duarte High School and the California School of
the Arts - San Gabriel Valley have similar starting
times, resulting in compounding traffic during dropoff periods. In the afternoon, DHS usually releases students around 3:30 PM and CS Arts usually releases
students at 5:00 PM. On Fridays, however, CS Arts
releases students between 2:45 PM and 3:30 PM,
affecting traffic in the area.
• Many students who are dropped off in the morning
walk or use public/active transportation to leave
school in the afternoon. All surrounding corridors
see notable afternoon pedestrian traffic.
• Speeding was observed along all corridors in and near the study area.
• The sidewalks along many study area corridors were
considered inadqueate by WSA participants. Some in
the vicinity of the high school experience crowding
in the afternoon.
• WSA participants thought that street lighting along
corridors in the study area was inadqueate.
Corridor #1 (Central Avenue)
• Duarte High School’s main driveway, along with
the curb along both sides of Central Avenue and
staff parking lots to the east and west of the main
driveway, are primarily used for student pick-up and
drop off.
• The west staff parking lot closed for construction in June of 2023, eliminating a popular pick-up/drop-off
area.
• Mid-block crossings from a loop across the street
from the school used to be common. As of February
2024, this loop has been blocked off by construction
cones.
• Traffic utilizing the school’s main driveway can back up in the driveway during peak hours. When the
driveway is congested, double-parking occurs, which
causes traffic to back up both in the driveway and on
Central Avenue.
• From Buena Vista Street to Duncannon Avenue, the
sidewalk on the south side of the street is closed.
However, minimal signage is present to inform
pedestrians.
• Several portions of the sidewalk are in poor condition or not ADA accessible, especially on the street’s south side.
• Participants in the WSA requested traffic control for traffic utilizing the main driveway during peak hours.
Intersection #1 (Central Avenue
& Buena Vista Street)
• In the afternoon, right-turning drivers experience
frequent conflicts with students crossing the street.
• Many drivers will not stop for students attempting to cross the I-210 West on-ramp. There is no crosswalk,
signage, signal, or ADA markings for pedestrians
crossing the on-ramp.
• There is no dedicated left turn phase at this
intersection, and the queue to turn left onto
Buena Vista Street can be long during peak hours.
Some drivers will continue straight through the
intersection and execute a mid-block u-turn to avoid
making a left.
Intersection #2 (Central Avenue
& Duncannon Avenue)
• Traffic moving through this intersection often does
not stop for pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
Some drivers will continue through the intersection
even when a pedestrian is crossing.
• Drivers will sometimes use the parking lane to
pass stopped cars, potentially endangering crossing
pedestrians.
• Participants in the WSA requested a three-way stop
and a crossing guard at this intersection.
Intersection #3 (Central Avenue
& Highland Avenue)
• In the afternoon, drivers turning at this intersection experience frequent conflicts with students crossing
the street.
• This intersection lacks left-turn phases and drivers
making turns here experience delays during peak

hours.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• In the afternoon, many students leaving school walk
to destinations outside the study area, such as Target, Starbucks, and neighborhoods further away from the
school.
• A series of service streets connect CS Arts and Duarte High School to Pony Ranch Road, Duarte Unified
School District’s Facilities Yard, and Huntington
Drive. Students going to/coming from the north
utilize this route to enter campus. This corridor is
intended for pedestrians only, but some vehicles have
been known to use it.
• Students using Brycedale Street and Bloomdale
Street to walk to school will access school grounds
through Duarte Park, walking through the baseball
fields to Central Avenue and the school’s west staff
parking lot. As of February 2024, some students are
dropped-off or picked up along Bloomdale Street or
Brycedale Avenue to avoid traffic. These students will
use this route to access school grounds.
• Evergreen Street, to the school’s south, is used by
several students to access neighborhoods to the
southwest. However, the only sidewalk along this
street is narrow and in poor condition.

RECOMMENDATIONS
DUARTE HIGH SCHOOL
Corridor #1 (Central Avenue)
• In order to prevent side collisions with pedestrians, active transportation users and oncoming traffic
conduct a sight and safety analysis to determine if a
“No Parking Zone” should be painted at the exit to
Duarte High School’s east parking lot on either side
of the driveway.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• Conduct a sight and safety analysis to determine if
a “No Parking Zone” should be painted at the exit to
the Duarte Sports Park Parking Lot on either side of
the driveway.
• Install LED pedestrian-level lighting along
Duncannon Avenue and improve the lighting in
the Duncannon Avenue undercrossing of Interstate
210. This recommendation may require additional
investigation at night and will need to be confirmed
before implementing.
• This recommendation may overlap with proposed or
in progress pedestrian safety improvements related
to ongoing ATP Cycle 4 projects.

SCHOOL PROFILE
MT. OLIVE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL
Mount Olive Innovation & Technology High School is located at 1400 Mount Olive Drive. The school fronts Mount Olive Drive, a one-lane service street, which is accessible from Central Avenue, an arterial street to the south and Bloomdale Street, a local street to the north. The school is served by Foothill Transit’s Route 187.
Mount Olive High School is situated in a semi-residential neighborhood on the City of Duarte’s southeast side. The school serves a citywide population of 9th-12th grade students who prefer the school’s unique approach to education or have educational considerations that Mount Olive best accommodates. Typically, the school has an 8:00 AM start time and a 2:57 PM dismissal time. Mount Olive High School is set to move to an unspecified location and see its current location redeveloped in 2024. Therefore, no specific improvements are named in this Plan. However, improvements in the area may be required depending on the result of traffic studies conducted in connection to redevelopement projects occuring at the Mt. Olive High School site and the nearby Westminter Gardens retirement community.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
MT. OLIVE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY HIGH SCHOOL
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• The project team observed a higher-than-average
amount of students leaving by their own means,
usually walking, biking, and rolling.
• Parents reported that students walk from as far away
as Maxwell Academy to reach school grounds. Some
would ride Foothill Transit, but they also reported
that bus drivers have turned them away due to their
status as unaccompanied minors.
• Outside of the intersection of Bloomdale Street and
Crestfield Drive, most intersections in the study area
are uncontrolled and lack marked crosswalks.
• Large sections of the streets in the neighborhoods
surrounding Mount Olive do not have sidewalks.
Corridor #1 (Mount Olive Drive between
Central Avenue and Bloomdale Street)
• Mount Olive Drive at the school’s entrance is a
one-lane alleyway connecting Central Avenue to
Bloomdale Street. Thus, any traffic attempting to
pass oncoming traffic must yield at the shoulder next
to the school’s entrance. If a car approaching another
car passes the available shoulder, someone will be
forced to reverse to allow the other to pass.
• There is no sidewalk. Pedestrians must walk in an
unpaved rut on the side of the street when cars are
approaching or passing.
• Presumably to avoid conflicts with pedestrians,
many students were observed squeezing between a
gap created by two gate supports to leave school and
access the sidewalk to the north.
Corridor #2 (Central Avenue)
• Speeding was observed.
• There is a lack of shading on the north sidewalk.
• Parents expressed concern about people experiencing
homelessness living under the freeway overpass
nearby.
Corridor #3 (Crestfield Drive)
• The west curb near the Crestfield Drive entrance
to the former Andreas Duarte Elementary School
was previously used for pick-up and drop off and
is still marked with green and yellow paint, leaving
underutilized curb space that may encourage faster
driving along the street.
`Intersection #1 (Central Avenue
& Mount Olive Drive)
• There are no marked crossings at this intersection.
Pedestrians wishing to cross must step off the curb or
do so via driveway ramps.
• When cars are parked on Central Avenue to either
side of the intersection, it can be difficult to see
oncoming traffic when vehicles want to make a right
or left turn onto Central Avenue from Mount Olive
Drive.
Intersection #2 (Central Avenue & Crestfield Drive)
• There are no marked crosswalks crossing Central
Avenue at this intersection, even though the sidewalk
on the south side of Central Avenue ends to the east
of Crestfield Drive.
• Wide turning radii at this intersection possibly
encourages rolling stops.
Intersection #3 (Mount Olive Drive, San Gabriel
River Freeway (I-605), and Huntington Drive)
• An unlit, narrow sidewalk connects Mount Olive
Drive and the greater school neighborhood from
Maynard Drive to Huntington Drive. Some students
formerly within the attendance boundary for
Andreas Duarte High School use the passageway to
access Royal Oaks Academy.
• Parents who live in the Mount Olive High School
area reported that their students have trouble
crossing Huntington Drive at this intersection due to
left- and right-turning drivers.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING - DUARTE
Opportunities for Learning – Duarte (OFL) is a public charter school in a commercial strip mall located at 1202 East Huntington Drive. The school fronts the strip mall’s private driveway, exclusively accessible from Huntington Drive, and is served by Foothill Transit’s routes 187 and 272.
Opportunities for Learning - Duarte aims to serve high school students with alternative educational needs, including working students and students with disabilities. Only about 40 of the school’s 93 students are on campus at any given time. Most classes are completed online. Students come and go every 90 minutes from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with a one-hour break for lunch at 12:00 PM. Aside from short spring and fall breaks, school is in session year-round. Only 25% of OFL students live in Duarte, with the rest commuting from across the San Gabriel Valley.
The Plan does not name any recommendations for the area surrounding OFL, but has noted some observations and comments expressed by the project team and school students and staff. They can viewed on pages 102 and 103.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING - DUARTE
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• About 25% of students walk, bike, or use transit to
access school grounds. Observations by WSA staff
counted four students during the survey period
walking or using the bus to access Opportunities for
Learning (OFL).
• Many students will leave campus during lunch
hour for nearby dining destinations, particularly
on the north side of Huntington Drive (The Habit,
Starbucks, etc.)
• When accessing OFL from Buena Vista Street,
Google Maps will sometimes directs visitors to the
alleyway behind the school. However, the only way
to access the school is to use the shopping plaza
driveway on Huntington Avenue.
• Lighting along all major corridors may be inadqueate.
However, any improvements require additional
investigation at night and will need to be confirmed
before implementing.
Corridor #1 (Hotel Huntington Driveway/
Commercial Plaza Drvie Isle)
• Parking inside the commercial plaza is generally
adequate for the school’s needs; OFL has also
leased the use of several overflow spaces from the
neighboring shopping plaza, Huntington Square.
• Speeding in the driveway by vehicles going to/from
the Hotel Huntington is common. The landlord
responsible for the property installed signage
informing drivers of the school and encouraging
them to slow down but has repeatedly denied
requests to install speed bumps along the driveway.
• Trailer drivers patronizing the Hotel Huntington will sometimes block multiple parking spaces.
• Aside from a small sign on the shopping plaza’s sign, there is little signage or wayfinding for the school.
• An El Pollo Loco restaurant is located at the front
of the plaza hosting OFL. Its drive-thru bisects the
driveway connecting OFL to Huntington Drive.
When the El Pollo Loco drive-thru backs up, it causes
congestion in the driveway, especially near the
driveway’s entrance.
• There is no pedestrian access from Huntington Drive
to the commercial center. Students must walk in the
driveway to access Huntington Drive.
• Some vehicles without a disability placard/license
plate will use disability parking stalls to pick-up/
drop-off students.
Corridor #2 (Huntington Drive)
• Trees, control boxes, empty planters, and power
poles often constrain sidewalk space on this corridor,
making the sidewalks difficult to use for pedestrians
and persons with disabilites.
• Speeding was observed.
Corridor #3 (Huntington Drive – Buena
Vista Street Connecting Alleyway)
• An alleyway connects Huntington Drive to Monrovia
Post Acute, a private nursing home. Monrovia
Post Acute is connected via another alleyway to
the Duarte Library and Buena Vista Street. Some
students use these connected alleyways to commute
to/from the school.
• The physical condition of the alleyway pavement is
poor.
• Some students use this alleyway to access school
grounds. However, a participant reported feeling
unsafe due to the deterioration of the roadway, the
presence of homeless individuals, and the recent fire
incidents associated with the homeless population.
Intersection #1 (Huntington Drive
& Buena Vista Street)
• The pedestrian phase at this intersection operates
with the vehicle green signal, potentially putting
turning vehicles in conflict with pedestrians. This
intersection could benefit from the installation of an
Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI).
• None of the bus stops at this intersection have
shelters.
Intersection #2 (Bradbury Avenue
& Huntington Drive)
• On the southeastern corner of the intersection, a fire hydrant in middle of sidewalk significantly narrows
the amount of usable space, so much so that the
sidewalk is largely inaccessible for pedestrians with
mobility devices.
• The ramp and tactile paving on both sides of the
intersection are not up to current ADA-compliance
standards.
• Despite the presence of curb cuts, there is no marked crosswalk across Bradbury Avenue. There is no
crosswalk across Huntington Drive.
184
DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 103
CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING - DUARTE • Intersection #3 (Huntington Hotel Driveway/ Commercial Plaza Drvie Isle & Huntington
Drive)
• There are two entrances/exits to the plaza, both
leading to Huntington Drive: One direct connection
and one through the neighboring shopping plaza,
Huntington Square. When access between both
plazas is not impeded (see below), left turning
traffic bound for the Hotel Huntington commercial
plaza will enter and exit from the entrance at the
Huntington Square parking lot and utilize the
connection between the Huntington Square and
Hotel Huntington commercial plazas. Right turning
movements are generally made to/from Huntington
Drive into the Hotel Huntington commercial plaza's
drive isle.
• However, some drivers traveling west on Huntington
Drive will make a U-Turn from the left turn lane
at this intersection and then cross all lanes of
eastbound traffic to access the Hotel Huntingtion
commercial plaza.
• Turning left into the Huntington Square parking lot
is difficult when vehicles are in the opposite left-turn lane, due to limited visibility of oncoming traffic.
• Turning left from the Huntington Square parking
lot is very difficult when vehicles are parked along
the nearby curb, due to limited visibility. Some
participants said they turn right to avoid attempting
the left turn and make a U-Turn at the intersection
of Huntington Drive and Buena Vista Street, a
maneuver that can take five minutes.
• There is a gap between the Hotel Huntington
Shopping Center and the Huntington Square
Shopping Center that vehicles turning left to/from
Huntington Drive use to access the school. This
gap is striped for parking, however. When vehicles
park there, they block access to the parking lot and
force right turns to be made in/out of the Hotel
Huntington shopping center.
Other Intersections and Corridors • The Duarte Teen Center is adjacent to Corridor #2 and across the street from the end of Corridor #3 and
the Duarte Library. However, there is no crosswalk
across Buena Vista Street at the intersection of
Bloomdale Street and Buena Vista Street connecting
these destinations.
• The bus stop in front of the Duarte Library has no
bus shelter.

Duarte Road and Highland Avenue. Additionally, Metro maintains a parking lot for the station at 1789 Fasana Road.
Nearby notable local streets include Evergreen Street, Fasana Road, and Business Center Drive. The station is served by Metro’s A Line, a light-rail line that travels between Downtown Long Beach and Azusa Pacific University/Citrus College. Nearby, Foothill Transit operates the Duarte Blue (860) and Duarte Green Routes (861), as well as two other fixed-route buses, Routes 187 and 272.
The Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station is situated south of Duarte’s neighborhood in an area experiencing great change. The City of Hope occupies nearly all the area to the southwest, with an access point to the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area and the San Gabriel Valley Trail located to the south. The areas to the north and east of the Station are traditionally Industrial, while Fasana Road and Evergreen Street connect the station area to a residential area nearby. However, new development will ultimately result in the construction of several hundred new housing units just north on the station on Fasana Road. Several hundred students from the nearby California School of the Arts - San Gabriel Valley travel to/from the Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station every school day. Refer to Appendix E for more information regarding the Plan's bicycle and pedestrian count as well as a map of count locations. 188

CHAPTER 05 SCHOOL SPECIFIC PLANS
WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
DUARTE/CITY OF HOPE METRO STATION
General/Unspecified Comments and Observations
• The areas covered during this WSA are also partially
covered by WSAs conducted at the California School
of the Arts - San Gabriel Valley and Duarte High
School. However, the observations in this section are
unique to this WSA and the points recorded on this
WSA's "Observations and Assessment Comments
Map" are unique to this WSA.
• A participant reported that about 300 CS Arts
students (approximately 30% of enrollment) utilize
public transportation to access the campus. Some
students also bike and roll to/from campus, with
many of them also riding public transportation to/
from the area. Pedestrian volumes along Highland
Avenue spike right before school dismissal and
remain high for about 30 minutes afterwards.
• Speeding was observed along all corridors in and near the study area.
• Sidewalks along all study corridors are limited and
experience significant crowding in the afternoon,
especially along Central Avenue. There are existing
obstructions or disrepairs which were reported to
be difficult for users with wheelchairs to navigate
through.
Corridor #1 (Duarte/City of Hope Metro Station)
• Many of the students walking to the Metro station
were seen entering the “Do not enter” gate and/or
going underneath the crossing barrier once lowered
to catch their train.
• Participants said that, when not experiencing issues
with homeless people from the train, the station
area is mostly safe. However, some participants
interviewed still expressed unease with safety
conditions in/around the area, and expressed a desire
for a greater security presence in the area.
• Participants expressed desire for a bathroom at or
near the station area, especially since people can
sometimes be seen reliving themselves in the trees or
on the station platform, negatively contributing to
perceptions about safety in the area.
• Students/participants reported feeling safer in large groups when riding the train and going to/from the
station.
Corridor #2 (East Duarte Road)
• There is no formal or marked connection between
the Duarte/City of Hope Station and the Santa Fe
Dam Recreational Area. Pedestrians from the station
must cross at the East Circle Road intersection to
reach the area.
• Some WSA participants with disabilites commented
that sidewalk landscaping and obstructions, at times,
present navigational challenges.
• The paved sidewalk ends before Duarte Road turns
to the north and transitions into Highland Avenue.
However, there appears to be noticeable pedestrian
demand to travel between the end of the sidewalk
and the entrance to the Santa Fe Dam Recreation
Area.
Corridor #3 (Highland Avenue)
• Pedestrians were observed walking on the east side of the street, an area that does not have sidewalks.
• Students generally feel safe when walking to/from
the Metro station, aside from incidents of stalking
and harassment from homeless people in the area or
following them from the Metro station.
• There is occasionally a sheriff’s officer around the
metro station near start and dismissal times.
• Some students using active transportation in the area opt to use the sidewalk due to vehicle speeds.
• Low visibility due to sunlight and speeding along
Highland Avenue caused a cyclist death at the I-210
underpass.
• At peak times, some students will walk in the street
because of a lack of space on the sidewalk.
Corridor #4 (Evergreen Street)
• There are no sidewalks along this street within the
½ study zone, and there are no marked crosswalks
at any intersection in the study area, except at
Duncannon Avenue.
• No students were observed walking east. However,
some students will walk down Evergreen Street, west
from Highland Avenue, to meet waiting parents
who are parked along the street. Evergreen Street
effectively functions as an impromptu pick-up
location.
Corridor #5 (Fasana Road)
• The sidewalk between the Esperanza apartment
complex and Highland Avenue uncomfortable for
pedestrians. However, it widens and gains additional
amenities like street trees and pedestrian-level
lighting when passing in front of the Esperanza
apartment complex. The sidewalk will likely be
widened upon the completion of the adjacent Solana
apartment complex.

WALKING SAFETY ASSESSMENT OBSERVATIONS
DUARTE/CITY OF HOPE METRO STATION
• There is no sidewalk on the north side of the street. • Speeding was observed along this corridor, which
may be able to be atributed to its width.
• The WSA team observed little pedestrian traffic along this corridor during CS Arts' dismissal period.
Intersection #1 (Central Avenue
& Highland Avenue)
• A crossing guard is present at this intersection.
• The current street configuration and traffic signal
does not allow for left-turn phases, which causes
delays for drivers during peak hours.
• During peak times, large amounts of students cross
at this intersection.
• A widespread practice for students crossing at this
intersection was to press the crossing button after
passing through the intersection to trigger the
pedestrian crossing indicator for the students behind
them.
• This intersection would benefit from an LPI, among
other safety improvements.
• WSA participants noted how possible conflicts with
vehicles under the I-210 bridge makes the area feel
uncomfortable to walk through. One participant, in
particular, referenced the recent death of a bicyclist
just south of the intersection.
Intersection #2 (Evergreen Street
& Highland Avenue)
• Because drivers must wait in the crossing area to
see oncoming traffic, students crossing here will
sometimes need to wait for turning cars to clear
the intersection before continuing to cross. WSA
participants reported several close calls between
pedestrians and vehicles at this intersection.
• Vehicles attempting to turn off/onto Evergreen Street may experience long waiting times in the morning
and afternoon as students walk to/from CS Arts.
• There are no marked crosswalks at this intersection,
in any direction.
Intersection #3 (Fasana Road, Business
Center Drive, & Highland Avenue)
• There is no right turn on red from any point at
this intersection, protecting crossing pedestrians.
However, some vehicles ignore the “No Right Turn
on Red” signs.
• A widespread practice was for students crossing at
this intersection to press the crossing button once
passing through the intersection to trigger the
pedestrian crossing indicator for the students behind
them.
• This intersection would benefit from an LPI, among
other safety improvements.
• Crosswalk paint at this intersection is beginning to
fade.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• The intersection of East Circle Road and East Duarte
Road, as well as Hope Drive and East Duarte Road,
could benefit from LPIs.

• Upgrade existing transverse/standard crosswalk to
a high-visibility crosswalk at Highland Avenue and
Fasana Road. This improvement will be supported by
local development in the area or executed during the
City’s Highland Promenade project.
Other Intersections and Corridors
• Install Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) timing for
the intersections of East Duarte Road & Hope Drive
and East Duarte Road & East Circle Road. Further
study is potentially required to see if both pedestrian volumes and turning volumes are high enough to
warrant a dedicated interval for pedestrian-only
traffic. Coordination with the City of Bradbury
will be required to implement this proposed
recommendation.

DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 115
CHAPTER 06 PROPOSED PROGRAMS
OVERVIEW
This chapter covers the non-infrastructure or
programmatic activities of Safe Routes to School that
work alongside infrastructure improvements to create
robust support for safe walking and rolling to school.
Non-infrastructure elements of the Safe Routes to
School effort include activities and programs under
the broad headings of: Engagement, Encouragement,
Education, and Evaluation. This chapter provides
examples of the programs and activities that school sites, school districts, the City, and other stakeholders can
implement to engage, encourage, and educate students
and the broader Duarte community about SRTS efforts.
ENGAGEMENT
All Safe Routes to School initiatives should begin by listening to students, families, teachers, and school leaders and working with existing community organizations, and build intentional, ongoing engagement opportunities into the program structure.
Recommended activities:
• Safe Routes to School Task Force or Committee (citywide/ districtwide)
Ĕ Organize a district or City task force to bring together the variety of different stakeholders and agencies that will need to collaborate to advance Safe Routes to School. This team focuses on long-term plans, integrating plans with the district and City, and providing a space for representatives implementing Safe Routes to School at individual schools to share and support each other. The task force could build off the core teams developed for the Safe Routes to School plan.
Ĕ Resource: Building Momentum for Safe Routes to School – includes a sample task force invitation letter.
• Districtwide and Citywide Communications and Promotion (districtwide/citywide)
Ĕ Integrate Safe Routes to School messages and promotion into districtwide and citywide communications promotion and in-person events. This can include information on websites, social media, and newsletters.
Ĕ Resource: Safe Routes to School Messaging for Pros
Ĕ Resource: Montgomery County Maryland Safe Routes to School Ĕ Photo Album – includes photos from community outreach events and education/encouragement activities Project team meeting with key stakeholders during a community meeting
Recommended activities are informed by current student travel patterns and attendance boundaries. Travel tallies show that most students are traveling to school by private vehicle. However, several schools have a walk rate of at least 15% or more, with Duarte High School being the highest at 27%. These numbers show the potential to increase walking rates by implementing encouragement and education programming. There are also opportunities to explore other active transportation options for students living within the boundaries of the Duarte Unified School District.
Student Engagement - Design Charette
197
116 DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN
CHAPTER 06 PROPOSED PROGRAMS
ENCOURAGEMENT
Generating enthusiasm and increased walking and bicycling for students through events, activities, and programs.
Recommended activities:
• National Walk & Roll to School Day and Bike & Roll to School Day (school-based/district-led or citywide/districtwide events)
Ĕ A Walk & Roll to School Day or Bike & Roll to School Day event is a simple way to introduce schools, families, and community groups to walking, biking, rolling, and Safe Routes to School. Walk & Roll to School Day is an international holiday celebrated in October each year and Bike & Roll to School Day occurs annually in May.
Ĕ Resource: Walk, Bike & Roll to School
• Monthly or Weekly Walk & Roll Days (school-based/district-led) Ĕ Continue the momentum from National Walk & Roll or Bike & Roll Day with a designated weekly or monthly walking and biking days. Walking Wednesday programs are picking up popularity across the country. For high school programs, consider organizing a Car-Free Campus Day event to coincide with Earth Day.
• Walking School Buses/Bike Trains (school-based/district-led) Ĕ Walking school buses or bike trains are safe and fun ways for children to walk or bike to school with adult supervision. Each “bus” or “train” walks or bikes along a set route with one or more adults leading it, picking children up at the start or at designated stops, and using active travel to get them to school. The process is reversed in the afternoons on the way home from school.
Ĕ Walking school buses and bike trains address family fears about unsupervised travel while getting kids moving. They can operate once a month, once a week, or every day, and are highly effective.
Ĕ Resource: Step by Step: How to Start a Walking School Bus Program at Your School Ĕ Resource: Paso a Paso (Walking School Bus guide in Spanish) Ĕ Resource: The Wheels on the Bike Go Round and Round: How to Get a Bike Train Rolling At Your School • Remote Drop-Off (school-based/district-led)
Ĕ Involve students that live too far to walk or bicycle to school by creating remote drop-off programs.
Designate student drop-off locations at a short distance from the school. After students are dropped off, they walk with their friends, family members, or school staff the rest of the way. This helps reduce traffic congestion around the school. School buses can also participate by using the remote drop-off locations too.
Ĕ Resource: Get Out & Get Moving Opportunities to Walk to School through Remote Drop-Off Programs • Competitions & Incentives (school-based/district-led) Ĕ Competitions and contests are fun and easy ways to incentivize participation in Safe Routes to School.
Ideas include documenting students' walking or biking to school activity and creating a classroom or grade competition, raffling off prizes to kids who walk or bike, or encouraging students to earn incentives by walking and biking.
• High School Engagement (school-based/district-led)
Ĕ High school Safe Routes to School programs are growing in popularity. Older students can design and implement projects that address their safety concerns. This includes linking Safe Routes to School projects to other issues youth care about like climate change and personal safety. For high school engagement, it is best to let youth lead and for Safe Routes practitioners to take on a guidance role. Activities include safety awareness videos, crosswalk art projects, Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day Celebrations, and GIS mapping projects.

DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN 117
CHAPTER 06 PROPOSED PROGRAMS
EDUCATION
Providing students and the community with the skills to walk and bicycle safely, educating them about benefits of walking and bicycling, and teaching them about the broad range of transportation choices. • Community Education and Awareness Campaigns (district/citywide) Ĕ Provide walking, biking and driving safety information and resources for individuals within and outside of the school community. This could include social media messaging, signs, or posters near schools, distributing information at events, and information in community publications. Integrate messages on driver awareness and the role of community members for making walking and biking safe for everyone.
Address traffic safety as well as personal safety. Provide information on reporting wild or stray animals.
Engage students in developing the campaign materials so that they resonate with their peers. Safe Routes to School poster contests are popular for engaging students in safety campaigns. • Education on Transportation Options (district/citywide) Ĕ Provide educational materials on the range of transportation options available to high school students and other students who might be traveling to school independently or from longer distances. Provide information on using public transit safely, accessing free transit passes, micro-mobility, and other options.
Provide travel trainings for students using public transit and active transportation. Agencies such as LA Metro could initiate these education opportunities.
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Skills Clinic/Rodeo (school-based/district-led or district/city) Ĕ A bicycle skills clinic, sometimes called a bike rodeo, offers a chance for students and their families to learn and practice bike handling skills in a fun, safe, and encouraging atmosphere. During a bicycle skills clinic, students visit activity stations where they learn different skills for how to bicycle safely and confidently.
Clinics or rodeos may be set up at city events, with specific classrooms on school grounds, or at another community facility.
Ĕ Resource: Roll Up to a Bicycle Skills Clinic
• Messaging in District and School Materials (school-based/district-led and districtwide) Ĕ Elevate the importance of and highlight support for walking and bicycling as regular modes of transportation in district and school materials. Specifically:
* Sharing information about walking and bicycling routes to schools under the district’s transportation section. This could include suggested route maps or information about programs such as walking school buses.
* Sharing a local suggested route map on the school website and in materials provided to students and families at the start of the school year.
* Suggesting methods for families and students to form walking school buses or bike trains. * Featuring walking and bicycling as a prominent means of transportation. * Including language that encourage walking and bicycling and noting health, academic, and attendance benefits.
* Providing information about Safe Routes to School events and activities promoted by the school, such as Walk to School Day or Bike to School Day.
Ĕ Resource: Safe Routes to School Messaging for Pros
• Crossing Guards (district)
Ĕ Crossing guards can help provide safe access for students walking or biking to school and help remind motorists to slow down near schools. Crossing guards help reinforce safe behaviors and can be an extra set of eyes and ears looking out for students. The presence of crossing guards can greatly increase parental or family comfort with children walking to school.
199
118 DRAFT DUARTE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL PLAN
CHAPTER 06 PROPOSED PROGRAMS
EVALUATION
Assessing which approaches are more or less successful, ensuring that programs and initiatives are supporting equitable outcomes, and identifying unintended consequences or opportunities to improve the effectiveness of each approach.
Recommended activities:
• Surveys (school-based on district/citywide)
Ĕ Surveys of families can help reveal why parents and caregivers are driving their children to school instead of allowing them to walk or bicycle. Surveys also provide insight into what changes might encourage a shift in their behavior. Surveys can also gather helpful feedback on your activities and programs once you get started. The National Center for Safe Routes to School provides a standardized parent survey template at saferoutesdata.org.
• Travel Tallies/Mode Share Surveys (school-based)
Ĕ Student in-class travel tallies are best taken on several days in each school year. Students can raise their hands to demonstrate which mode of transportation they took to school or record their transportation mode on a piece of paper or class poster. The National Center for Safe Routes to School provides standardized travel tally forms that can be entered into the national online data system at saferoutesdata.org. • Community Listening Sessions (school-based)
Ĕ Community listening sessions provide opportunities to get more detailed feedback on program activities.
People who are unable or unwilling to complete a survey might be more interested in a listening session format. This information can be used to develop a program activity or assess the effectiveness of an activity that’s already been completed. For high school students, host a youth listening session to gather specific feedback on their program needs and priorities.

CHAPTER 06 PROPOSED PROGRAMS
EQUITY
Ensuring that Safe Routes to School initiatives are benefiting all demographic groups, with particular attention to ensuring safe, healthy, and fair outcomes for low-income students, students of color, students of all genders, students with disabilities, and others.
Recommended activities:
• School Prioritization Metrics (district/citywide)
Ĕ Determine a set of metrics to prioritize Safe Routes to School projects. This will ensure that program resources reach the students and communities that need them most. Prioritization metrics may include crash data, free/reduced lunch data, census tract data, and CalEnviroScreen. • Communications and Messaging (district/citywide)
Ĕ Ensure that all communications and program materials are translated into the languages spoken by community members. Offer interpretation for in-person events and community meetings. Online and print materials should also be reviewed for ADA compliance and accessibility. • Volunteer Stipends (school-based or district)
Ĕ Safe Routes programs often rely on the support of volunteers. Offer stipends for Safe Routes Champions who assist with events, participate in focus groups, or run activities like Walking School Bus programs. • Event Planning (school-based or district)
Ĕ Safe Routes events should aim to engage students who face the most barriers to walking, biking, and rolling to school. When planning events, consider what time of day and what location will be most accessible to students and families. Organize bike and helmet giveaways to ensure students can participate in activities.
Work with community partners to plan events that provide a variety of resources – food, health screenings, music and entertainment, educational activities.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
The prioritization analysis outlined below provides guidance on how school infrastructure projects and recommendations that produce the most benefit for people walking and biking around the selected areas for this SRTS Plan. The proposed recommendations were prioritized using a data-driven approach, which summarizes the overall need for the suggested improvement(s).
The prioritization model uses four criteria:
EQUITY
Intersections or corridors which intersect a SCAG
Environmental Justice Area.
PROPOSED GROUP WEIGHT: 25%
SAFETY
Pedestrian-involved or bicyclist-involved collision(s)
reported on an intersection or corridor. Source:
SWITRS 2017-2021
PROPOSED GROUP WEIGHT: 25%
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
A quantification of the level of support provided by
the community for each intersection of corridor.
Multiple community comments (2+) results in full
points.
PROPOSED GROUP WEIGHT: 25%
FEASIBILITY
Low-cost or short-term improvements receive full
points (1 points)
Medium- or long-term improvements are not
prioritized (0 points).
PROPOSED GROUP WEIGHT: 25%
Each of these criteria receives 25% of the overall prioritization scoring. A project with a higher ranking should be considered for implementation prior to projects with a lower ranking, although the City may choose to advance a specific project for various reasons or as funding becomes available. It is also important to note that the resulting prioritization rankings are a useful starting point to identify improvement projects, however, they should not be the only tool leveraged. A project may consist of multiple corridors or intersections and require careful deliberation to ensure that it meets its intended goal.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
The following section provides information on potential federal, state, regional, and local funding sources that the City of Duarte can seek to implement the SRTS Plan. The funding sources identified are listed by source, agency, program name, and project eligibility. The City may utilize the project prioritization tool outlined in the previous section to best identify grant funding opportunities to design and construct the recommended school improvements.
Based upon the priority projects selected, the following primary sources can be used to fund each project:
1. Priority Project 1: Caltrans Active Transportation Grant
2. Priority Project 2: City General Fund | City's Capital Improvement Program
3. Priority Project 3: Caltrans Highway Safety Improvement Program In addition, all three projects can be bundled together in which the City can pursue funding though the Caltrans Active Transportation Grant.
The City shall also seek to implement other individual school recommended improvements where there is interest, available funding, or potential incorporation within a planned infrastructure improvement project or feasibility study. 215
