Alderman Asks Staff to Repaint Crosswalk at Webb Park After Resident Concern
Summary
A resident raised safety concerns about children crossing between Webb Park and nearby pickleball courts. Staff said the old crosswalk will be repainted and noted the comprehensive park plan calls for a future traffic-calming feature.
During the board’s reports on Sept. 2, Alderman Rachel Kilmer relayed a resident’s concern about children crossing near Webb Park and the adjacent pickleball courts and asked whether speed bumps or a crosswalk could be added. Scott, the city staff member, responded that the faded crosswalk by the courts would be repainted. He also noted the comprehensive park plan references a future raised intersection or “race table” at that location as a longer‑term traffic‑calming measure.
Why it matters: The crossing is by a busy recreational area and affects pedestrians, including children, moving between park amenities.
What’s next: Staff will repaint the crosswalk; the comprehensive‑plan traffic‑calming idea remains a future project requiring separate planning and funding.
