SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION Hicksville Village Schools Mission Statement: We are committed to providing a positive, safe environment where respect is fostered. We will encourage students to be active participants in their own learning in order to realize their full potential. We will provide opportunities for our students to become responsible, productive members of society and to make a successful transition from school to work and/or higher education. We believe that every student is a person of worth and our legacy to the future. We believe that each student can learn when given enough time, assistance, and opportunities. The Hicksville Exempted Village School District is committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating habits and physical activity. A Healthier Hicksville School Travel Plan will support our wellness plan by providing a safe environment to walk or bike to school. The Hicksville Exempted School District is approximately 6 miles wide and 7.5 miles long and includes the Village of Hicksville, Hicksville Township, and part of Milford Township. The school district is bounded by the Ohio/Indiana border on the west, Central Local School District to the east, Edgerton Local School District to the north and Antwerp Local School District (Paulding County) on the south. A new PK-12 school will open in January 2009. Village of Hicksville The Village of Hicksville is located at the junction of SR 2, SR 18, and SR 49 in western Defiance County. The Village has approximately 4,000 residents and is located approximately two miles from the Ohio/Indiana border. The Village of Hicksville was incorporated in 1875. The CSX railroad bisects the Village. There are currently five railroad grade separations in the Village. These underpasses are typically prone to flooding during heavy precipitation. Pedestrian facilities are provided at four of the five underpasses. The Village of Hicksville wholeheartedly supports the Safe Routes to School program and will provide support to the Hicksville School system though its Village Administration, Police Department, Fire Department and Recreation Department for education and encouragement of active transportation for the entire community. A Healthier Hicksville School Travel Plan Goals: When the new school opens, walkers and bikers are expected to decrease by 50 percent. The School Travel Plan will at a minimum bring the walkers/bikers back to current levels after the new school opens.


SECTION 3: PUBLIC INPUT PROCESS The public input process started several years ago when the planning for the new school began. The school system sent home surveys at that time requested information about transportation. The families in the district responded with 100% participation to provide valuable information to the administration. The Safe Routes to School program is led by the Superintendent of Hicksville Village Schools, Dr. Kevin Miller. Dr. Miller has been working closely with the Village administration to coordinate all activities relating to the school construction and its subsequent opening. Dr. Miller invited key members of the community to be involved in the task force to prepare and carryout this School Travel Plan. A kickoff meeting was held on April 3, 2008 in community room #1 at the Hicksville Community Memorial Hospital. This meeting was led by DGL Consulting Engineers and presented the SRTS program to the task force. Discussion topics at this kickoff meeting included:

Village’s policies on sidewalk installation. Assessments for sidewalk installations. Multi-use paths connecting key community amenities such as the Community

Park, the hospital grounds and the school. Use of hospital dieticians for educating students. Elementary and middle school gym classes are already involved in some

programs to encourage walking and biking. Health classes are used to promote healthy eating and exercise. Mel Fahs, CEO of Community Memorial Hospital, indicated that the he will be the

Hicksville Rotary President for 2008-2009. Each president leads a project during his/her term. A project that supports Safe Routes To School may be considered.

Surveys will be conducted prior to the Walkability Study and Task force members will tabulate and enter data on the National SRTS website.

The walkability study was conducted on May 7, 2008. Task force members along with an ODOT representative walked the Village and collected data regarding barriers to active transportation. A meeting was then held on June 25, 2008 to recap the walkability audit, discuss the survey results and talk about potential solutions to remove barriers to active transportation. September 17, 2008 the group met to discuss Education, Enforcement and Encouragement opportunities to complete the Action Plan.


SECTION 4: DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOLS The current elementary school is located on Arthur Street and houses grades PK-6 with 550 students. The current Hicksville Middle and High School is located on Smith Street with 163 students in grades 7-8. Approximately 47% of K-8 students live within one mile of the existing schools. The High School has 337 students. The Village of Hicksville is currently building a new PK-12 school located on the northeast side of the Village. The new school is located just southeast of the SR 2/SR 49 intersection and is approximately 1 mile from the existing school campus. The new school building will open in January 2009. The Healthier Hicksville School Travel Plan will focus on providing active transportation options to the new school campus. 26% of K-8 students live within a one mile walking distance to the new school location. 18% of survey respondents indicated they would allow their child to walk or bike to the new school. Data was not available as to whether this 18% lived within the one mile radius.

TOTALS 406 193 79 141 164 73 22% of students district-wide walk or bike to school. 40% of those living within one mile of the existing school walk or bike. 18% of the survey respondents have indicated that they will allow their child to walk or bike to school. Due to its location and safety issues, the opening of the new school will reduce walks/bikers by one half. More students walk home from school than walk to school. This could be attributed to parental dropoff on way to work or riding with a high school sibling.


SECTION 6: CURRENT SCHOOL TRAVEL ENVIRONMENT Arrival/Dismissal Procedures The new school is scheduled to open in December 2008 with students occupying the building after the 2008 Christmas break.

New School Hours (tentative) 8:05 am to 3:05 pm The new school has a bus loop drive located on the south leg of the SR 2/SR 49 intersection. Parent dropoff/pickup and staff/student parking access the school through a separate drive. Buses and passenger vehicles will not mix during normal arrival/dismissal procedures. Transportation Policy Hicksville Village Schools currently provides bus service to all students living more than one mile form their respective school building. Elementary bus service is provided to students living in the Village at the following bus stops:

• Nolte/El Grande Trailer Parks (west edge of Village on Route 2) • Corner of Chicago Avenue and Westwood Street • Southern Hills Apartments (Corner of Fountain and Beech Streets) • Corner of Hicks and Bryan Streets • East End of Perry Street (by the fairgrounds) • Corner of Pearl and Columbia Streets • Corner of Rock and Cornelia Streets • Lutheran Church (on High Street).

Hicksville will provide bus service for 100% of students until sidewalks can be provided from Village to the new school campus. Bus stops when the new school campus opens are not yet finalized. They will likely be at the same locations noted above with a few additions including a stop on Columbus Street and one near the current elementary school. Safety/Support Polices The district uses an elementary staff member to assist with arrivals and dismissals. This is provided at the elementary school only. Distance From School 47.5% of students live within the one mile walking distance of the existing school. 60.3% of students live within the 2 mile biking distance to school. 26% of students will live within walking distance of the new school.


SECTION 7: BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION The new school is scheduled to open in December 2008 with students occupying the building after the 2008 Christmas break. To determine the barriers to the new school location, a walking audit was conducted on May 7, 2008. 21 persons participated in the walk. Sidewalks: Missing sidewalks, faded crosswalk markings and sidewalk ambiguity were the common themes found throughout the Village. Gas stations, the grain elevators and other commercial parcels with large undefined driveways and little or no sidewalk are found along the main routes through the Village. Sidewalks narrower than 4’ are also found in locations throughout the Village.

Typical Sidewalk Gap Sidewalk/Drive Area Fading Crosswalks Several areas of Village have little to no sidewalk. The first of these locations is High Street from approximately St John’s Lutheran Church on the south and from #909 High Street on the north to the new school campus. The neighborhood bounded by Whitten, Cornelia, Bunnell and Columbus streets is in need of sidewalks. The neighborhood between the fairgrounds and the railroad (Ogen, Perry, Boon, Alan, Horton, and Rakestraw streets) is also lacking in sidewalks.

No Sidewalk near Fairgrounds Typical Residential street E. Hicks St. between fairgrounds and Railroad

Curb Ramps: Curb ramps are found throughout the community although most do not meet ADA requirements.


Downtown ramp New ramp with proper ADA design Railroad grade separations: Another important issue is the CSX railroad that bisects the Village on a northwest-southeast diagonal. Several roadways cross under the railroad and provide pedestrian access - Smith Street, High Street (SR 2/SR 18/SR 49). The High Street underpass provides pedestrian access on the south side with no restrictions to mobility. Due to the proximity of Rock Street to the underpass, the north side of High Street has steps that cannot be navigated by bicycles or physically handicapped pedestrians. Both of the High and Smith underpasses have warning signs indicating that flooding may occur during heavy storm occurrences. Two other locations allow vehicles to cross under the railroad, one being SR 18 on the northwest side of the Village and the second being Oak Street on the southeast side. The Oak Street underpass is narrow and does not provide safe pedestrian access. More than 65 percent of the Village must cross the railroad to walk or bike to the new school. Based on the current street network, High and Smith are key components to providing safe routes under the railroad. High Street Underpass–Looking SW High/Rock NW corner Smith Street-Looking NE Oak Street-Looking NE


Existing Signals: There are four signalized intersections in the Village. The intersections of High/Main and High/Maple are located in the Village Downtown and have decorative mast arm installations. These intersections were upgraded with the Hicksville streetscape project in 2001/2002. Painted crosswalks are provided. No pedestrian signals or pushbuttons are provided. The intersection of High and Bryan is also signalized but provides no pedestrian amenities. The intersection of N. Main and Arthur is signalized with an electromechanical controller, a span wire design and no pedestrian signals.

High Street at Main Signal-Looking SW N. Main at Arthur Signal Accidents: Accident records crashes involving school aged children for the three year period of 2005-2006-2007 were reviewed. The three accidents that occurred involved student bicyclists with either student or driver inattention.


SECTION 8: CREATING SOLUTIONS AND COUNTERMEASURES Following SRTS Guidelines, the Five E’s – Education, Enforcement, Encouragement, Engineering and Evaluation – have been incorporated into the solutions and countermeasures. Existing Non-Infrastructure Activities Education and Encouragement The Hicksville school system has incorporated a Wellness Plan into their Bylaws & Policies. This plan was adopted in 2006 and lays out six goals:

Goal 1: Improve Safety and Environment Goal 2: Health Education Goal 3: Physical Education Goal 4: Nutrition Services Goal 5: Improve Staff Health/Wellness Services Goal 6: Involve Family and Community in Wellness Issues

The goals of the wellness plan are in line with the Safe Routes to School program and the following items are in the current school curriculum: Walk and Roll – Students walk a prescribed half mile course on school grounds during gym and recess. Adults track progress and students are awarded stars for each mile. As of September 17, 2008 the students have logged 713 miles this school year. This has been a bi-annual program however, with the new school, new routes can be established and thus may be come a yearly program. Log It – 5th grade students use pedometers and track their numbers of steps on a daily basis. This program involves several skill sets including using the computer to log progress and graphing their progress in math class. Remote Bus Dropoff Wednesdays – over a seven week period, K-6 students are dropped off approximately 4-5 blocks from school. Each week involves a different class beginning with kindergarten. The teacher meets the class at the dropoff point and their entire class walks to school together. Mini Relay for Life – students collect pledges for walking laps. The money is donated to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program. Health and PE Classes – classroom activities include discussing healthy meals and snacks, creating sample school lunch menus, talking about exercise, etc. Enforcement Village Police currently monitor school areas for traffic law violations and to foster a sense of safety and trust with school children.


Proposed Non-Infrastructure Activities Encouragement Walking School Bus – A walking school bus is a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. If that sounds simple, it is, and that’s part of the beauty of the walking school bus. It can be as informal as two families taking turns walking their children to school to as structured as a route with meeting points, a timetable and a regularly rotated schedule of trained volunteers. Education Bicycle Education – based on the accidents involving school age children and the number of children that bike to school, the education of children and adults has a high priority. The Hicksville Police Department plans to have a bicycle training class in the Spring of 2009 to educate children on bicycle safety. Safety brochures will be distributed to school families along with a media campaign to bring awareness to all Village residents. Media – the Hicksville News Tribune, a weekly newspaper, will be utilized to inform and educate local residents of bicycle safety, school zone safety, and pedestrian safety. Enforcement Police Enforcement – the new school location will alter traffic patterns. The new school is located southeast of the SR 2/SR 49 intersection. SR 2 and SR 49 have speed limits of 55 mph and significant truck traffic. The new school speed limit flashers will installed at the proper locations however, awareness of this new school zone area must be raised via media sources and enforcement. SR 2 and SR 49 traffic will now consist of local residents accessing the school and over the road travelers using the state routes to access points beyond the Village. When the new school opens, an increased police presence that enforces school speed limit is very important. Continued enforcement will be needed. This section of roadway will need to be patrolled by the Village of Hicksville, the Defiance County Sheriff and the Ohio Highway Patrol as this area is multi-jurisdictional. The school side of SR 2 is located in the Village of Hicksville. Existing Infrastructure Activities Engineering Sidewalks and Crosswalks - The Village of Hicksville has an ongoing maintenance program to restripe crosswalks and stop bars. The Village requires all property owners with sidewalks to repair and maintain their sidewalk. The Village typically notifies property owners via mail in the event repairs are needed. The property owner must then comply with the request to repair within a reasonable time limit. Because the Village will be separating their sanitary and storm sewers over the next several years, various sidewalks will be replaced with the project. The Village will not be requiring property owners to repair sidewalks until the sewer separation project has been defined and the affected sidewalks are identified. The Village plans to align components their


sewer separation project with potential Safe Routes to School projects to maximize the available funding and avoid construction overlap. Relocation of State Routes - The Village has had some dialogue with ODOT and County officials regarding the possibility of connecting Industrial Park Road to SR 49. The road would then continue to connect with SR 2 and SR 18. In effect creating a bypass around Hicksville. The plan is very conceptual at this time. Proposed Infrastructure Activities Engineering The following projects were identified for infrastructure improvements needed to provide safety to pedestrians and bicyclers. High Street Improvements (Columbus to the School) – Sidewalks: The first priority in providing Safe Routes to School is to add sidewalks on the south side High Street (SR 2/SR 49) from St John Lutheran Church to the new school campus. This important link of sidewalk provides students with their only safe route to the new campus. Until this connection from the Village to the school is made, school busses will transport all Hicksville students to school. The new sidewalk is porposed to be 4 feet wide to coincide with current Village maintenance standards. The sidewalk between Columbus Street and St John Lutheran Church is 4’ wide. This walk is in good shape and should remain in place. Installing sidewalk will require the extension of several culverts along the route. The larger culvert will require the existing headwall to be removed, the pipe to be extended and regrading of the stream. Crosswalks: Crosswalks to get students to the south side of High Street should also be installed. Discussions with the task force indicated that the preferred crossing location would be closer to the Village. A logical location for a crosswalk is at the High/Columbus intersection. Columbus Street will deliver children from the neighborhood north of High and east of the railroad. A signed and marked school crosswalk would be an immediate and low-cost solution to help students cross High Street. School crosswalk markings should be enhanced crosswalks. Crossing Supervision: The use of adult crossing guards at this location would improve the safety of the intersection. Because Columbus Street also provides the only access to the hospital, the intersection should be studied for a signal warrant. If a signal meets the warrants prescribed by the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD) and is permitted by ODOT, children would have a safe, signalized place to cross High Street. SR 2/SR 49 Intersection: Another concern for the immediate school campus area is the SR 2/SR 49 intersection with heavy trucks and access to the school bus loop drive. A small residential area exists to the north on SR 49. These students will now live very close the school campus and may walk/bike to school. The opening of the new school may also spur additional retail development that will attract students to cross and


generate more traffic. The Traffic Impact Study conducted for the new school indicated that the intersection did not warrant a signal. Heavy right turns from southbound SR 49 to westbound SR 2/SR 49 were discounted per current OMUTCD standards thus not warranting a signal. As traffic patterns evolve with the opening of the new school, the intersection should be monitored for future signalization. The Village is interested in pursuing a safety project for this intersection and will be in contact with ODOT Safety Project Coordinator Michelle May regarding the SR 2/SR 49 intersection. Signal Upgrades (Downtown) - Installing pedestrian amenities at the two Downtown signals – High/Main and High/Maple - is a vital safety component for school children as well as adult pedestrians. Pedestrian amenities include pedestrian signal heads, pedestrian pushbuttons, enhanced crosswalks and signage. A new controller should be installed at High/Main. The controller at High/Maple was replaced in 2005 due to a lighting strike and will be compatible with the types of improvements noted here. It is important to note that bicycles and skateboards are not allowed on Downtown sidewalks between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. Those bicycling to school can use High Street; however, when returning home they must use Maple to Smith or Edgerton to travel west. Therefore crossing at High/Maple is a very important component to safe travel. It may also be prudent to allow children to bicycle on Downtown for a period of time after school and allow safer travel home. North Neighborhood Sidewalks - The location of the railroad makes some neighborhoods more appealing than others to encourage walkers to the new school campus. The neighborhood located near the hospital, north of High and east of the railroad is the closest neighborhood and would be more likely to have children that would walk to school. Installation of 4’ sidewalks on Bunnell, Cornelia, Whitten, Jarwell, Columbus and Elm are required for this neighborhood. ADA curb ramps and painted crosswalks should also be installed in this neighborhood. Providing four-foot (4’) sidewalks from the Downtown area to Columbus Street will provide a consistent sidewalk width through the Downtown area to the school campus. Signal Upgrades (Other) - The intersection of N. High and Arthur Street should be upgraded to include pedestrian signals and an updated controller. The existing installation has an electromechanical controller and various types and styles of vehicular heads. This intersection allows pedestrians to cross to the existing elementary school and the community park. The intersection of High and Bryan is beyond the one mile walking distance but within the two mile biking distance. Pedestrian amenities are needed at this intersection. South Neighborhood Sidewalks – The neighborhood located south of the railroad and north of the fairgrounds is in need of sidewalks. A logical place to cross the railroad for walkers is on Oak Street. This underpass does not have sidewalks nor is there room for two way traffic and sidewalks. The Oak Street corridor is industrial in nature and does not provide a conducive environment for young students walking to school. The route


for those wanting to walk or bike to school is then via Oak or Edgerton to Maple, then along High Street. Maintenance - The walking audit revealed locations with broken sidewalk, trees and shrubs encroaching on sidewalks, vehicles parking across sidewalks, and missing sidewalk segments. Curb ramps and faded crosswalks were also found throughout the Village. A letter to all Village residents that outlines the Safe Routes to School Program and instructs on proper parking, property maintenance and sidewalk maintenance is critical. The Village should repair sidewalks and ramps through an on-going maintenance program. Repainting of crosswalks should continue each year. Gaps in sidewalk not specifically mentioned in these countermeasures should be closed with new sidewalk installations. Parking and sidewalk ordinances should be reinstated and enforced. Properties with wide drives or confusing pedestrian areas should be painted where it is appropriate to walk. Legislative – The Village of Hicksville should prepare and enforce legislation though the zoning code to require sidewalks in all new subdivisions, redevelopment of property and new commercial/industrial projects. A copy of the Hicksville Safe Routes to School Engineering Study is included as an attachment and provides greater detail regarding the infrastructure projects. Evaluation Monitoring and documenting outcomes and trends through the collection of pertinent data. A thorough process that tracks progress it of the utmost importance. The Safe Routes to School program has provided information through classroom surveys, parent surveys, a walking audit, discussions by task force members and interviews with local stakeholders. This baseline data is presented in this document. The Hicksville School system has been very successful in obtaining survey data from school families during its school planning and construction process. The survey return rate for the Safe Routes to School was also very high. Because data has been solicited prior to occupation of the new building, survey data regarding walking/biking to the new building must be recollected in the Spring of 2009. Data must then be collected on at least an annual basis. The evaluation process must include a list of the strategies that have been accomplished over the year period along with the number of walks/bikers for that year.

Suggested Improvements map


SECTION 10: ACTION PLAN The task force has developed an action plan that prioritizes the action items discussed in this plan. The Task Force evaluated the above projects and determined the list of priorities. The rating for prioritizing projects were based on proximity to school, greatest number of students utilizing improvements, the greatest safety impact, and the biggest bang for the buck. The list was determined by utilizing the task forces’ visual observations, the walking audit, survey results, and the engineer’s recommendations.
