In 2017, the City partnered with Alexandria City Public Schools to perform walk audits at all elementary and K-8 schools. William Ramsay Elementary School was included in that process. Several recommendations were made to increase safety for students. This project will implement safety improvements recommended in the William Ramsay Walk Audit Report.
