Pedestrian Experience Recommendations Methodology Schools were identified as the leading factor for prioritizing sidewalk gaps in the study area. Therefore, 5-minute and 10-minute walksheds around schools were create to understand the reasonable reach of pedestrians in these locations. Once the school walksheds are located, the next step in the analysis is to use the Pedestrian Experience Index (PEI) sidewalk condition data from the Fort Worth ATP to identify the missing sidewalk in the walksheds. Road segments touching the 5-minute and 10-minute walksheds guided the prioritization of sidewalk gaps to be filled. The last step of this analysis included a qualitative assessment of sidewalk gaps within the identified walksheds and selecting the top corridors with missing sidewalk to be completed. The result is a set of priority sidewalks that focus on connecting neighborhoods to schools. Multiple factors were considered through the prioritization process including:
Locating corridors that make the most sense to connect with schools.
Proximity to schools
Density of neighborhoods
