Franklin Street: McCaskey Campus Safe Routes to School Project
The City is proposing improvements along Franklin Street, from New Holland Avenue to Reservoir Street as part of the McCaskey Campus Safe Routes to Schools project. This initiative is part of Lancaster’s larger Vision Zero program, which aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injuries in the city.
Background: Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a national program that exists to promote safe walking and biking to school.
This project is funded by a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Phases
Concept Plan Development
Our consultants are collecting field data and developing concept designs for the recommended improvements to Franklin Street (shown below). During this phase, use the Street Safety Concerns map to report locations that feel unsafe. For example, where do people tend to speed or drive aggressively? Are there blind spots at intersections or crosswalks? We'll use this information to help prioritize improvement projects moving forward.
