This project addresses vehicular and pedestrian access to schools. It may involve the widening of a street or roadway, obtaining rights-of-way for school access or exit, or changing or adding entrance/exits at various schools. These problems may arise at schools where there are no construction projects or DOT road projects that could fund the necessary changes. An FY 2023 appropriation was approved to continue this project to address access, circulation, and vehicular and pedestrian traffic issues at various schools, as well as support the county's bicycle initiative through available funds in this project. An FY 2024 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project. An FY 2025 appropriation was approved to continue this level of effort project to address access, circulation, and vehicular and pedestrian traffic issues at various schools in the county. As part of the County Council approved FY2025-2030 CIP, additional expenditures were included in the out-years to reflect a level of effort funding through the six-year CIP.

State Reimbursement: not eligible

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
