Canton Central School District Campus Study

The study performed on the Canton OH Central School District Campus, focused on the parent drop-off area of Banford Elementary School; faculty/staff/student parking lot; parent drop-off area/parking area adjacent McKenney Middle School; bus drop-off loop intersections; conflicts that occur between the parent vehicles and pedestrians during morning arrival; and parking related issues during afterschool events.

Two overarching goals of the Traffic Study were to: 1) enhance the safety of on-site pedestrians and 2) improve traffic circulation and parking operations, notably during peak events. Collected detailed traffic and safety information during arrival, dismissal, and event-related periods, as well as documented on-site hourly parking in 14 separate areas. Developed alternative recommendations related to increased parking capacity during special events, improved parent loops, and improved signage and wayfinding.
