2.2 Student Travel Environment (continued) Finally, parents were asked to identify their primary concerns for disallowing their child to walk to school. Parents that responded to the parent survey reported that weather (70%), safety of intersections and crossings (61%), distance (56%), and speed of traffic along routes (55%) are the biggest issues that affect the decision to allow their child to walk or bike to and from school. Through targeted safety improvements within a ½ mile radius of each school, the City of Des Plaines and District 62 may be able to increase the number of students that use active forms of transportation to get to school.
