Walkshed, not drive-shed. That's how you measure whether a school serves its community.

Schools built on the suburban fringe chose cheap land over walkable siting. If students can't reach school on foot because it's too far, that's a siting problem. If routes are dangerous, that's a design problem. Both are fixable - but only if you measure the right thing.

During last night's City Council budget meeting, tens of thousands of Denverites were not represented by their Council members because there were no breaks during the 4 hour meeting, and key votes were missed because council members had to step outside for breaks due to there being no recesses. #SafeRoutestoSchool programmatic funding and the north broadway bike lane in #Denver were affected by this choice.
There have been multiple requests for #SafeRoutesToSchool sidewalks here. Instead, MCDOT added signs, cuz #OneMoreSignWillFixit.

One Problem, Two Responses: What Philly and Charlottesville Reveal About School Transportation | Strong Towns

Every fall brings the same story: too few school bus drivers, too many kids left waiting. Some districts throw money at the problem. Others see an opening to make walking and biking safer.
