sidewalks from schools to main street

Thank you for posting! You are absolutely right that walkable connections between schools and amenities like the library are important, not just for traffic and pedestrian safety but also for ensuring kids have safe and enjoyable places to spend time until their parents get off work. Like Michael said in the comments, the city of Noble is in the process of expanding sidewalk connections between schools and between the public library to Downtown. However, sidewalks are not the only ingredient to walkability, especially for kids. In your experiences, are there any locations that need safer street crossings, wider sidewalks, bike lanes, buffers between the street and sidewalk, shade trees, or benches? Some other strategies that work well with sidewalks include Safe Routes to School initiatives, multi-use trails, greenbelt trails, and more school bus routes. Do you think any of these or other strategies would be helpful in Noble? Thank you again for sharing! I look forward to hearing your responses!
