Safety tips and bike
laws Be predictable! Be alert! Be
prepared!
Obey traffic signs and lights
Use hand signals when biking
Go slowly on sidewalks when biking
and ride in the roadway when safe
Use caution when cars are turning
across bike lanes or through side-
walks
Be visible! Where bright clothing
Ride and walk so drivers can see you
and predict your movements
Why walk and bike
to school?
Walking and biking promotes healthy, ac-
tive living and is a great source of exercise!
It can promote weight loss and heighten
energy levels. Walking and biking also re
duces the need to drive, which cost money
and produce greenhouse emissions. METRO
found that households that walk and cycle
as the primary modes of travel save an av
erage of $694 per month.”
Additional Resources
Visit the state and national Safe Routes to
School program websites for more information
about safe routes in the community and safe
walking and biking practices. Also, METRO and
the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) also
have great resources for families. See the fol-
lowing websites below.

A bond was recently passed for the West Linn-Wilsonville School District which created funding to replace
Sunset Primary School (K-5). The school is located at 2351 Oxford Street in the City of West Linn, Oregon.
The current school boundary extends to the south to 1-205, to the east to West A Street, west to Wild Rose
Drive, and to the north near Rosemont Road . Oxford Street provides access to the current school site and is
classified as a Neighborhood Route by the City of West Linn .
A transportation analysis and
safe routes to school
assessment was completed in
2015 an is documented in the
Sunset Primary School
Transportation Analysis and
Safe Routes to School Plan .1
The purpose of this
memorandum and associated
safe routes to school map is
to update the recommended
routes to school and update
the recommended safe
routes to school
improvements now that the
new Sunset Primary School
improvements have been
completed .

Updated Safe Routes to School Assessment Based on the field observations conducted on November 16, 2017, the routes identified in Figure 1 are the
recommended walking and biking routes to Sunset Primary School within the walking boundary. However,
it is important to note that while some additional sidewalks were constructed in coordination with the
school building replacement, there are still some significant sidewalk gaps within the walking boundary,
even on the recommended routes to school highlighted in Figure 1.
Table 1 below shows the updated project recommendations within the Sunset Primary School walking
boundary. The highest priority should be given to projects along the recommended routes to school in
Figure 1.
