The Antelope Road Safe Routes to School Project- City of Menifee

The Antelope Road Safe Routes to School project’s is apart of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP 15-05) and the main scope was to provide safe and adequate pedestrian access to the Romoland Elementary School in a marginalized area of the City that is considered a disadvantaged community, and is one of the city’s low-moderate income areas where 91% of the youth attending Romoland Elementary School are on free and reduced lunches with no transportation services. The existing road conditions consisted of a two lane road approximately 22 feet wide with dirt shoulders and poor signage. School children would sometimes walk alongside the road to get to school and were at serious risk for casualties or injuries. The project constructed the following improvements: 1. Widened the existing road width to 40’ to include street parking. 2.Constructed curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of Antelope Road and on the south side of Watson Road to an existing residential neighborhood. Approximately 4,000 lf of curb gutter, sidewalk and road widening were constructed. 3. Constructed 13 ADA pedestrian ramps. 4. Resurfaced the existing road and made all crosswalks ADA compliant. 5.Re-striped and install the appropriate signs around the school area. 6.Install a full way stop at the intersection of Watson Road and Antelope Road.
