About
Highway 50 in Malin lacks sidewalks through town and crossings are wide and inconspicuous. Children must walk on the shoulders of the highway to get to school and the crossings are difficult to use. This project will install new sidewalk and curb extensions through the corridor, and enhance the existing marked crossings at 3rd Street, Railroad Avenue, and Lakeview Avenue. Crossing enhancements would include high-visibility striping, pedestrian crossing signs, and illumination, providing safe pedestrian access to this area.

“Safe Routes to School” refers to efforts that improve, educate, or encourage children safely walking (by foot or mobility device) or biking to school. The Oregon Department of Transportation has two main types of Safe Routes to School programs: Construction and Education and technical assistance. Construction programs focus on making sure safe walking and biking routes exist through investments in crossings, sidewalks and bike lanes, flashing beacons and the like.
