Council committee approves $30,000 transfer for Pine Street crossing lights
Summary
The committee on finance approved an order from the mayor to transfer $30,000 from a U-Haul mitigation account to the Pine Street Crossing Lights account for pedestrian safety improvements near a school crossing.
The committee on finance voted to approve an order from the mayor transferring $30,000 from the U-Haul Olympia Avenue account to the Pine Street Crossing Lights account, a mitigation-funded project the traffic commission previously approved.
Mayor Concannon submitted the order for committee approval. Committee members discussed past traffic incidents near Pine and Orange streets and stressed the crossing is a busy walking route to a nearby school. Committee members said the crossing improvements had been approved by the traffic commission and that funding approval from the council was the next step.
The committee adopted the order on a motion to transfer the funds, seconded in committee; the motion carried.
Committee members closed the finance item and moved on to other business.
