Suggested Safe Routes and Expansions Map

The 5 E’s (Education, Encouragement, Engineering, Enforcement, Evaluation)

As funding becomes available the City of Perham is positioned to implement strategies from all areas of the 5 E’s. The planning process will lay the groundwork for the addition of new sidewalks and trails as well as education and encouragement efforts. The Safe Routes to School team has discussed the strategies they believe will be most beneficial for the community of Perham. The team also strongly considered the opinions brought forth at the public meeting conducted as part of the SRTS planning effort. Although considerable thought went into these recommendations it is understood that situations change as do funding sources and flexibility may be necessary when choosing projects to implement in the future.

It should also be noted that these recommendations are not at an engineering level and each location should be evaluated by a qualified person to recommend specific improvements and engineering treatments.
