Clemmons wins AARP Community Challenge grant to add rapid-flashing pedestrian beacons
Summary
The Village of Clemmons received a $20,850 AARP Community Challenge grant to install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at crosswalks on Stadium Drive near the library and near the elementary school; parts are ordered and installation must be completed by mid-December to close out the grant.
Planner Doug Moore told the Village of Clemmons Council on July 14 that the village is a 2025 AARP Community Challenge grant recipient and will receive $20,850 to install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at pedestrian crosswalks.
Moore said the grant-funded beacons will be installed at crosswalks on Stadium Drive near the library and at the crosswalk closer to the elementary school on or near Bingham Drive. He described one beacon that will flash to alert drivers when a pedestrian pushes the button and another that will light the crosswalk at night when activated.
Moore said the project is on an accelerated timeline because the grant must be closed out by mid-December; he has already ordered parts and expects installation to proceed quickly. He identified the grant amount ($20,850) and noted the village will begin installation soon. Planner Caroline Drake and Councilman Taylor were acknowledged as participants in related Vision Zero work.
The transcript does not list specific installation dates, contractors or precise crosswalk coordinates beyond the general locations named. The council congratulated the planning staff for securing the grant.
