Background
|
The District evaluated an area for a potential hazard using the Illinois Department of Transportation’s guidelines. A hazard is declared to exist in any single situation in which the sum of points equals or exceeds 12. The area studied was crossing Blanchard St. at Elm St. for Lincoln Elementary School students. This evaluation totaled 11 points. The Board of Education can award a maximum of two points to any hazard evaluation if extenuating circumstances exist. There are several students that live in this area and would be impacted. Many of these students live on the west side of Lorraine St. and had previously used the space available program before a hazard was approved in 2016 for crossing Lorraine St. Once this hazard was approved, these students were not allowed to cross Lorraine St. to board the bus. Therefore, we are asking the Board of Education to award one (1) additional point needed to declare crossing Blanchard St. at Elm St. a temporary hazard. Temporary hazards are for a one-year period, and must be resubmitted annually.
