The purpose of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is to provide safe pedestrian
and bicycle facilities that encourage healthier lifestyles. Programs can be established to
educate students, parents, and the community on the benefits of walking and bicycling to school and provide tips to do so safely.
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.
