Wausau Safe Routes To School

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs are an opportunity to make walking and bicycling to school safer for children in grades K-8, and to increase the number of children who choose to walk and bicycle. On a broader level, SRTS programs can enhance children’s health and well-being, ease traffic congestion near the school, and improve community members’ overall quality of life.

Planning Process and Schedule

In 2018, the City of Wausau and the Wausau School District won a WisDOT SRTS planning grant to create a SRTS Plan.

In the fall of 2021, the City of Wausau and the Wausau School District began SRTS Planning with the assistance of the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC). The NCWRPC is guiding the Wausau SRTS Task Force through the planning process.

Data collection occurred in spring & summer 2022. Further analysis with the SRTS Task Force will occur throughout the 2022-2023 school year.

Plan development occurred in 2023.

Plan review and revision will occur throughout the 2023-2024 school year.

Plan adoption is anticipated in spring 2024.

Implementation of the Wausau SRTS Plan can begin anytime therafter into many years later.

Stettin Elementary Safe Routes to School Plan 2018

The City of Wausau and Town of Stettin both are aware of the safety issues of walkers, bicyclists, and school children using Stettin Drive from Brockmeyer Park northwest toward Stettin Elementary. After some communications with WisDOT, the City and the Town of Stettin brought on the Wausau School District to proceed with creating a SRTS plan for Stettin Elementary. Creating a SRTS plan provides a comprehensive review of the whole area to make walking and bicycling to school safer for children, while also improving community members’ overall quality of life since any new bike or pedestrian accommodations are open to all people at all times of the day.
