During a recent city council meeting, community concerns regarding pedestrian safety near Arbor Creek Elementary were brought to the forefront. Resident Adam Blue addressed the council, advocating for the installation of a pedestrian crossing system at Arbor Crest Lane. He highlighted the increasing traffic congestion caused by parents parking on Midway, which has become a significant issue as the neighborhood grows. Currently, students are released at the rear of the school, where no crosswalk exists, forcing children to navigate a longer and potentially unsafe route to cross the street.

Blue presented evidence, including community signatures and photographs, to support his request, emphasizing the need for a safer and more efficient crossing option for local families. Although the council members were unable to respond directly during the public comment period, Interim Police Chief Landers offered to discuss the matter further with Blue after the meeting.

In addition to public comments, the council shared upcoming community events, including a movie in the park on October 11, a community garage sale on October 12, and a fishing event for children at Wilshire Park. The council also reminded residents that early voting for the November elections will begin on October 21, encouraging civic participation as Election Day approaches on November 5.
