Safe Routes to School Projects

Who requested sidewalk be installed? What’s the history of the project?

           1.    The City Council hired Ackerman-Estvold to complete a Minot Safe Routes to School Study. This study was completed in the early part of 2010, and outlined the existing network of sidewalk around all of Minot’s Elementary schools along with the areas of need. The study then created a list of priorities based on the schools that had the highest need for new sidewalk. To view the study click here.

          2.    In 2019, the City Council authorized the Engineering Department to apply for grant funding to install this section of Sidewalk through the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s (NDDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP).

Are Minot Catholic Schools and Our Redeemer's Christian School included in the study?

          1.      Minot Catholic Schools was contacted prior to beginning the study and opted not to be involved as it's students are primarily driven to school due to the distance between the elementary school location and the student's homes. 

          2.      Our Redeemer's Christian School (ORCS) is located in close proximity to Washington Elementary, so this study's recommendations for the Washington area positively affect ORCS as well.
