I am not really concerned about any safety issues about having to walk home. The bus drops me off at McKinnon park which is very close to my house. I believe that my neighborhood is very safe compared to others.
Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General
I can't walk or ride a bike to school, I ave always lived a long ways away from school so usually my parents would drive me to the closest bus stop and the bus would take me to school from there. I live in the prundale area and the school I went to was about 25 - 30 mins away depending on traffic. - I would have to live really really close to the school to be allowed to walk or ride a bike to school.

Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General
I don't walk to school but I've notice that there really isn't a sidewalk on the left side of the road across Rancho San Juan High School.
Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General
I fear for my safety because I would have to bike in Natividad Road and Rogge Road . The reason I don't bike is because getting out of Old Natividad Rd, there is this long path with no biking lane, sidewalk, or any light posts available. In addition, cars are usually speeding in a one way path, where it is dangerous when crossing in the small bridge. - I also think that if more people start biking to school, the school would need more bike racks.
Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General
I feel like it's safer and more efficient for students to take the bus rather than walking to school if they are not able to carpool or get driven by family members.
Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General i feel like people go fast on all the streets lol Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General I get driven to school

If I were to walk from my current house to Rancho San Juan high school it would be difficult to go all the way around the fields. Also the roads don't have any walking lanes. Another reason I can't walk alone is because I don't trust the drivers and people around me when walking to/from.
Rancho San Juan High

Rancho San Juan High
School Student Survey General
If I were to walk to school it would take me roughly an hour, and I'd need to walk along a few major highways so it's never been an option for me. The road by my house, Blackie, is extremely dangerous to walk on as drivers get careless and fly by at 65+ mph. If there were a safe way to get to school I'd consider it, but it's still quite a distance to walk when my brother gets dropped off 5 minutes from Rancho.

So I haven't actually been to the high school considering i'm a freshman and covid happened but when I went to gavilain view there were a few issues when I had to walk because I couldn't get a ride. Like after school I would have to cross into my street to get home fast because my mom doesn't like me to walk home because the world is a scary place and you have to walk all the way down the street to get to the next cross walk. It was dark and a car drove passed me even though I was already walking across the street because the light cross walk had the white shaped person for me to walk and I don't know if it was because the person was impatient or because they didn't see me.
Rancho San Juan High

There is seriously NO BIKE LANES or SIDEWALKS where I live to get to school. I live next to the side highway of Old Stage and its far to dangerous of a speed of 60 MPH which my dad says no to riding a bike on(I only live a 4 MIN drive from Rancho High). Racing Cars and Semi Trucks plus the usual crack heads that cant drive for sh** would not care if they did a hit and run to a bicyclist.

This does concern me because of the safety of my family and neighbors, but it is a bit more complicated for my location. I technically live in Prunedale, but I live around 10 minutes away from Rancho, so it is my designated school. I am also concerned about the safety of the animals since I see so many on the road every time I leave to go somewhere. I hope there is something we can do about this as a community.

Basically, any student within 2 miles from our school is technically a walker. Even those students who live around New Repulic, behind El Super, they can technically walk but there is no sidewalk at all along Natividad so you will not see many students walking unless they are desperate and have no other choice. Which lends itself to having a lot more traffic during drop off.

Rogge; traffic really gets congested in the morning; all schools are about 10-15 mins apart. We did have a problem with those who did not want to turn into the drop off and were dropping their kid off in the street. Kid jump off and proceed to walk across the street onto oncoming traffic. That was a big concern.
Rancho San Juan High
School Student Rogge Rd
I came down Bolsa Knolls to Rancho and there were parents stopped in the middle of the road, drop their student off and that would back up the line of cars so it would take longer. By gas station, cars do go fast and there is no sidewalk and I see kids trying to get across without getting hit. I think that place is super dangerous.

School Survey Rogge Rd and San Juan Grade Rd
The corner of San Juan and Rogge crossing should be in all corners, not just one. From new light at the high school to the middle school should have a sidewalk on opposite site. Work out an Easement with the Church across the high school to allow for their parking lot to be used for the high school as additional parking. Or buy the church out, so it becomes part of the high school property for additional bus, students and events parking lot. Additional Parking should be available behind the high school and next to the high school football field before more homes are built; to prevent it from becoming the back of North High where vandalism and shootings happened. Students should feel safe walking outside of the school property not worried if someone will pop out from behind a car.

The intersection of Rogge and San Juan Grade Rd is terrible. Even with a 4 way stop drives do not pay attention to the pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk. I believe an actual traffic signal would be more beneficial for pedestrians and motorists. The other crosswalks on San Juan Grade Rd. should have flashing lights.

I used to run from North Salinas High School down to San Juan Grade to Rogge and then turn on Rogge and come around; do a big triangle. This has not changed other than Rancho San Juan since I was in high school. We would run on the dirt but on the winter it is mud. So even though fields and place where cars park, what looks like you might be able to walk there but it becomes a mess when it rains and those managing the fields asked the school not to send students through there for fear of liability.

School Survey School Frontage
The parking lot at Rancho San Juan has multiple access areas that could be closed and a centralized drop off point to minimize the traffic back up on San Juan Road and maximize the efficiency of the student drop off.
Many parents drop off students in the middle of the road on San Juan Grade Road, which causes hazardous situations for students and other drivers. The cross walk across from Bolsa Knolls Middle School causes a traffic jam because students are crossing constantly and there is no crossing guard to monitor the crosswalk. Cars turn off Penzance St to South San Juan Grade Road and they use the median divider, often cutting off cars already on San Juan Grade Rd. Russell Road needs sidewalks to the intersection of San Juan Grade and Russell. The light Turing left from Russell onto San Juan is also very short. A traffic study should be performed to find the length of time the light should be green.

Roosevelt Elementary Survey Alisal St and Capitol St
City of Salinas took out the stop sign at Capital on Alisal. Now the crosswalk lights do not work. They are going to get children and the 600 plus State, City and County employees that need to get to the courthouse area killed. There has already been accidents there. Two people from our office were serviously injured even when there were stop signs. People literally go 50 to 60 miles an hour through our crosswalk. Why don't you come and cross at 5 o'clock in the pitch black darkness with no stop sign and no flashing crosswalk lights.
Doesn't anyone think before making huge decisions that affect people's safety and lives? This was a really uneducated decision that's going to cost the City a lot of money in lawsuits when we get run over...

I mentioned earlier. I also like the flashing cross light when kids are crossing the streets.

Santa Rita Elementary School Staff Santa Rita St and Bolivar St A crosswalk at Santa Rita and E. Bolivar is needed, especially for the High School students that catch the bus on E Bolivar. I feel the HS buses could pull up further up the block.
Santa Rita Elementary School Staff Santa Rita St and Bolivar St The busses should pick kids up further on the street closer to the purple Santa Rita park. Where the busses currently pick up the kids causes a HUGE traffic jam at the intersection of Santa Rita St. & Bolivar at "school rush hour".

Santa Rita Elementary School Staff Santa Rita St and Lamar St I feel that there is a traffic safety issue where Lamar street t-bones with the entrance to our school and parking lot and Santa Rita St. There should be a 3-way stop at that intersection. Crossing Santa Rita St. from Lamar is very dangerous (cars are parked on all sides of the street making it hard to see on coming traffic & a majority of the time cars are driving WAY too fast in both directions on Santa Rita St.) Santa Rita Elementary School Staff Santa Rita St and Lamar St We have had a crossing guard on Santa Rita and Lamar.

Leaving the school parking lot is kind of dangerous as well. There are cars parked along the school side of the street making it hard to see on-coming traffic when trying to turn both left & and or right out of the school parking lot and bus loop driveway. What makes it more dangerous is the speed at which motorists drive on Santa Rita St.

The crosswalks at the traffic light here on Alisal and Sherwood drivers do not respect the children who are walking.
Sherwood Elementary Survey Alisal St and John St
When I was on Alísale by the swap meets those cars can’t see turning left towards Sherwood and are always sticking out blocking the pathway. Also on John and wood that 4 way stop coming from the freeway is dangerous because people stop but some just keep going. When I drive on the corner of wood and alisal turning right the crosswalk is always full of people still crossing even though the hand is telling them to not cross anymore. I’ve experienced this many times especially after school. They only sometimes let one car turn right if that. Also people dropping off their kids in the middle of the street in front of the school and also crossing the street on the exit of the parking lot where there is no crosswalk. I have also seen cars trying to go in the school parking lot on the exit only side and some cars exiting on the entrance which is clearly marked. I would also like to see the back of the school open. On Hebron that used to be open many years ago and now it’s not. That could prevent some traffic on Alisal through the area of the swap meet.

Dangerous lifted sidewalks and branches from overgrown trees falling. Before there was a bike cop by hartnell park which slowed down vehicles before getting to the school. Across the street from University park elementary on W. Acacia St. Thank you for the survey. I really hope something is done because I've been contacting the city for years and I've been told there's a list. I've been a resident for over 25 years and all they do is throw rough cement over the bad sidewalk causing kids shoes to get stuck and causing more falls. I've fallen myself. Best of luck we need a change!

University Park Elementary Survey University Ave
The issue is the constant speeding of vehicles along University Avenue. Cars speeding have disregard for pedestrians coming off of Central Avenue and coming off of Acacia Avenue, cars have a tendency to speed along University Avenue and it is a hazard for pedestrians young and old. I moved into the University Avenue neighborhood in 2019. The neighborhood is relatively quiet. However, the speeding of vehicles has made it unsafe for all pedestrians who are walking, riding their bikes, and recreational runners. This has become a big unsafe issue and needs to be addressed. Traffic along University Avenue has reached high rates of speed. The residential speed limit is 25 mph not 35, 40, 45, and 50 mph. I have also seen a high speed chase in the neighborhood by CHP pursuing a vehicle with disregard to pedestrians. There are speed bumps along Ambrose Avenue and there are less pedestrians in that neighborhood and University Park Elementary is further away.
Please address this issue speed bumps will definitely slow the traffic down, vehicles constantly are driving at unsafe speeds.

As a parent of a child a La Joya Elementary School I want to believe that these plans would work. You can teach the kids every kind of safety rule and how to implement them, but its the drivers, i.e. Parents that are the hazard. They do not pay attention, they do not think the rules apply to them. They are the ones always in a hurry, park where they are told not to, they speed to and from, don't stop for the children in cross walks. The only way these plans are going to work is if you educate the parents, and hold them accountable. Ticket and tow the ones parking in no parking zones. Have the sheriff and police come out and stop and ticket the ones speeding in the school zone or not stopping for the cross walk. You can spend all the money in the world to fix the situation but nothing will change unless you hole these self entitled people responsible for their actions. Remind them that even though they spent months alone during quarantine they are in fact not the only people in the world, and just because they get treated like royalty at home, in the real world they are human just like the rest of us. Educate the adults, then work on the kids.
1. Distribute a traffic circulation plan and bike
and pedestrian safety information to parents at
the beginning of the school year through all
possible communication channels (email,
handouts, parent meetings, back to school
nights, etc.).
2. Develop programs and events to provide
parents and guardians with traffic safety
education, such as the following:
oCommunity traffic safety education events on
weekends.
oTraffic safety messaging at established parent
meetings and events, such as back-to-school
nights and spring open houses.
oLocate traffic-safety education staff members
at schools to talk to parents during drop-off.
Language added to recommendation #1: Distribute
traffic circulation plan and bike and pedestrian
safety information to parents with the goal of
promoting positive behavior during drop-off /pickup. Distribute information at the beginning of the school year through all possible communication
channels (email, handouts, parent meetings, back
to school nights, etc.).
Online Comment General
For the safety of the students, CLASS I (separated from the street) makes the most sense, especially when considering all the hit-and-run deaths in Salinas.

Maintenance is key - need to clear streets and sidewalks. Her son stopped biking because goat heads popped his tires over and over.
This plan recommends pursuing additional
funding for roadway maintenance to ensure that
bicycle and pedestrian facilities throughout the
city are safe and accessible.
Recommendation added to maintenance section in
Ch 4: This plan also recommends that the City of
Salinas finalize and implement the Salinas
Reconfiguration of Street Sweeping Routes and
Signage Plan. The City will sweep residential streets
two times monthly and commercial streets four
times monthly. No parking signs shall be installed
to provide the street sweeper curb access during
designated street sweeping days.
SCESD Board meeting General Board member thinks the city should pay for crossing guards No action Online Comment General
As a parent of a child a La Joya Elementary School I want to believe that these plans would work. You can teach the kids every kind of safety rule and how to implement them, but its the drivers, i.e. Parents that are the hazard. They do not pay attention, they do not think the rules apply to them. They are the ones always in a hurry, park where they are told not to, they speed to and from, don't stop for the children in cross walks. The only way these plans are going to work is if you educate the parents, and hold them accountable. Ticket and tow the ones parking in no parking zones. Have the sheriff and police come out and stop and ticket the ones speeding in the school zone or not stopping for the cross walk. You can spend all the money in the world to fix the situation but nothing will change unless you hole these self entitled people responsible for their actions. Remind them that even though they spent months alone during quarantine they are in fact not the only people in the world, and just because they get treated like royalty at home, in the real world they are human just like the rest of us. Educate the adults, then work on the kids.
1. Distribute a traffic circulation plan and bike
and pedestrian safety information to parents at
the beginning of the school year through all
possible communication channels (email,
handouts, parent meetings, back to school
nights, etc.).
2. Develop programs and events to provide
parents and guardians with traffic safety
education, such as the following:
oCommunity traffic safety education events on
weekends.
oTraffic safety messaging at established parent
meetings and events, such as back-to-school
nights and spring open houses.
oLocate traffic-safety education staff members
at schools to talk to parents during drop-off.
Language added to recommendation #1: Distribute
traffic circulation plan and bike and pedestrian
safety information to parents with the goal of
promoting positive behavior during drop-off /pickup. Distribute information at the beginning of the school year through all possible communication
channels (email, handouts, parent meetings, back
to school nights, etc.).
Online Comment General
For the safety of the students, CLASS I (separated from the street) makes the most sense, especially when considering all the hit-and-run deaths in Salinas. I would also recommend a bike path along the Salinas River in collaboration with all the farmers, in order to connect to the Ocean/Marina, but that's another project :)

Email to SRESD Board San Juan Grade Rd
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the board,
Sorry to bother you but when looking over the Safe Routes to School Plan I noticed a glaring omission of an area within our district that, I at least feel, needs to be addressed. I am referring to the way students get from Penzance Street to Russel Road. As of right now our families that walk that route have no sidewalk to walk along to get from Penzance to the crosswalk at San Juan Grade and Russell Road. Right now they have to walk on a shopping dirt path, or else jay-walk across San Juan Grade road and walk through a neighborhood that again has no sidewalk and that many cars speed through as a "short cut".
Now I am not sure if it is possible to add to this plan at this stage, if it isn't I implore you to please keep it in mind if there will be a second part to this plan.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
