City launches initiative for safer student routes
The city has announced significant improvements to pedestrian safety in the Oak Cliff area, focusing on creating safer routes for students and residents. Key developments include the installation of a new sidewalk along the pink line route from 1450 East Oak Cliff to Oakmont, enhancing accessibility for pedestrians.

Additionally, a 42-inch crash barrier will be installed along the blue line route to prevent vehicles from sliding down the hill during winter conditions, thereby protecting pedestrians in the area. The city is also adding crosswalks, pedestrian ramps, and improved lighting, particularly in areas marked in yellow, to further enhance safety.

In a related initiative, three new crosswalks will be established on 1450 East to guide students toward sidewalks, ensuring safer passage to school. The discussions highlighted the importance of these measures in promoting safe routes for students and the community, with officials expressing gratitude for the city's ongoing collaboration with local schools to prioritize pedestrian safety.
