The purpose is to identify not only unsafe driver or <br /> pedestrian behaviors, but also to identify any issues and barriers such as congestion, back-ups, or unsafe <br /> crossings. Lastly,the LPT used this opportunity to attempt to reimagine the infrastructure layout of roads, <br /> sidewalks,crosswalks signage, lighting and any other aspect of driver or pedestrian safety should the need arise. <br /> ASSESSMENT OF ISSUES AND BARRIERS <br /> Building on the information gathered from the in-class student tally,the parent survey,the walk audit and their <br /> observations from school drop off and pick up,the local planning team discussed, and assessed the issues and <br /> barriers that emerged and were identified.There is a great quote from Albert Einstein that goes:"If I had an hour <br /> to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." <br /> With this aphorism in mind the local planning team spent a considerable amount of time assessing the issues and <br /> barriers in order to appropriately identify solutions to the challenges that they identified throughout the planning <br /> process. <br /> The assessment of issues and barriers was meant to inform the decision-making process by bringing together all <br /> the information gathered from the surveys,walk audit, public meetings, and working sessions. <br /> OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> After collecting as much information as possible throughout the in-class student tally,the parent survey,the walk <br /> audit and their observations from school drop off and pick up; and after spending considerable time assessing <br /> the issues and barriers,the local planning team developed a list of observations and recommendations intended <br /> 9 I Minnesota Safe Routes to School t c) rt <br />
