Kensington Parkwood Elementary School Walkshed Safety Evaluations

Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) completed a walkability study for Kensington Parkwood Elementary School in 2019 as part of a countywide effort to identify safe and accessible routes for students walking and bicycling to school. The walkability study reviewed the condition of existing infrastructure and recommended improvements that may be implemented within the school walkshed to provide safe and accessible routes for students walking and biking to the school. Most of the improvements that could be implemented quickly, such as signing and marking, have been completed. A Community Meeting is scheduled for October 9, 2024, to present these sidewalk and safety improvements identified by the study. The Community Meeting will also help County staff better understand safety needs and plan future sidewalk and safety improvement projects within the Kensington Parkwood Elementary School walkshed.
