Board approves four crosswalk safety projects, including rapid‑flash beacons
Summary
The Morton 709 board approved four school-crossing improvement projects — including rapid rectangular rapid‑flashing beacons (RRFBs) — after the village approved the work; board members said the upgrades will enhance safety.
The Morton 709 Board of Education voted to approve four school-crossing improvement projects, including automated rapid rectangular rapid‑flashing beacons (RRFBs) at Grundy, Lenny Brown and two locations at Lincoln. The superintendent said the village has already approved the work and is waiting for the district’s action for final authorization.
A board member asked that the district packet explicitly identify the devices as "rapid, rectangular rapid flashing beacon" and include the RRFB acronym so readers would know what the item referenced. Board members described the measure as a safety improvement; one member called it "kind of a no brainer." The motion carried on a roll-call vote with all members voting yes.
