Maps <br />show stop signs, signals, crosswalks, sidewalks, <br />bikeways, paths/trails, school entrances, bike parking, <br />and/or crossing guard locations around a school. Maps <br />may also show transit routes and stops, school <br />enrollment areas, pick-up/drop-off zones, and important <br />destinations, such as community centers and parks. <br />Some more subjective elements to consider include <br />recommended routes, and hazardous locations. These <br />maps can be used as base maps to support other desired <br />programs at Wilshire Park Elementary such as a <br />walking school bus or a park and walk site. <br />The team leading the mapping effort should decide in <br />advance whether the maps will be distributed <br />electronically or in paper form, as this can inform how <br />the map is produced. Maps may be produced using <br />mapping or drawing technologies, such as GIS or Adobe <br />Illustrator, but can also be as simple as hand drawn <br />maps or marked up Google maps. Students may also be <br />engaged in the making of maps through classroom or <br />after school activities. The school can collaborate with <br />the City of St Anthony Village staff to produce high <br />quality maps. <br />20 1 Wilshire Park Elementary School Safe Routes to School Plan <br />6 <br />r <br />;are Map - Whittier School = <br />Walk and Bike to School Maps show the safest streets <br />and crossings forgetting to school. <br />
