During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the pressing need for enhanced pedestrian safety measures at local crosswalks, particularly near the beach area. One member expressed concern over the lack of flashing pedestrian signs, citing personal experiences of near-misses with vehicles. The member emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, \"I would hate to see anybody get put in that position where they become involved in an accident.\"

To address this issue, the member proposed drafting a letter to the state delegation, specifically targeting Representative Cherco, to advocate for the installation of these safety signs. The commission agreed to review the drafted letter at their next meeting, with plans to formally motion for its approval and signature as a collective body.

Additionally, the meeting included a brief overview of the application process for residents seeking handicap signs in front of their homes. Officials clarified that there is a structured application process in place for those who meet the necessary criteria, ensuring that community members are informed about how to access this service.

The discussions highlighted the commission's commitment to improving public safety and accessibility within the community.
