BPAC members press for QR feedback signs, fix for unmarked school crosswalks
Summary
Committee members urged the city to install quick-build project signs with QR codes to gather public feedback and flagged unmarked or uncompleted crosswalks near schools, including Naylor and Harris Road, for prompt attention.
During public comment and committee discussion, residents and committee members raised concerns about unmarked crosswalks near schools and the need for better feedback collection on quick-build projects.
A resident described a block-long stretch near Naylor Street and Harris Road, a block from a school, where curb ramps exist but crosswalk markings do not. The resident said Google Street View showed the crosswalk absence for at least six years and asked why the public repeatedly must identify these hazards.
Committee members discussed earlier plans to place quick-build signs with QR codes linking to a feedback form. Ben (staff not present) had told a committee member that the traffic engineer stopped that approach; members asked whether the committee could produce and install signs itself. Committee volunteers offered to draft questions, design signs and ask Ben to print them. Brandon (city staff) said Ben had agreed to cover printing costs.
Members also reported confusion from recent striping on Fairway — paint that looks like a bike lane but serves as parking — and suggested the city consider removing parking where it is not intended. Staff said some striping changes come through different programs (safe routes, neighborhood transportation funds) and that certain intersections will get more attention through other projects.
No formal vote was taken. Committee members agreed to reconvene the quick-build subcommittee, draft a QR feedback form, and coordinate with city staff on sign locations and messages.
