YNDC Making Safer School Routes - WFMJ

Students walk down uneven and dangerous sidewalks everyday on their way to school.

The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation came up with a plan to make them safer to travel on.

"We talked with parents, we surveyed kids, we analyzed data about where kids were walking to school," said Jack Daugherty Neighbordhood Stabilization Director for the YNDC. "And we put together a prioritized set of reccomendations for what needed to be done to improve safety around the schools," he said.

At schools like Taft Elementary, Daughtery says some of the sidewalks were so broken up, they were virtually - unwalkable.
