Farm Road Area Resident Survey

Press release from the Village of Palmetto Bay

Posted on: December 4, 2020

The Village of Palmetto Bay in conjunction with Florida Department of Transportation through the Safe Routes to School initiative are proposing a sidewalk to be installed on Farmer Road between Old Cutler Road and SW 136 Street. This would benefit not only the students traveling to and from Howard Drive Elementary but also create a safer place for pedestrians to walk, run or bike. We are asking residents who live in the area to let us know whether they support or oppose the proposed project.

ABOUT SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL (SRTS)

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is an approach that promotes walking and bicycling to school through infrastructure improvements, enforcement, tools, safety education, and incentives to encourage walking and bicycling to school. Nationally, 10%-14% of car trips during morning rush hour are for school travel. SRTS initiatives improve safety and levels of physical activity for students. SRTS programs can be implemented by a department of transportation, metropolitan planning organization, local government, school district, or even a school.
