Committee reports new solar flashing pedestrian crossing installed at Fifth and Main; additional Broadway/Main signs ordered
Summary
The committee showed photos of a newly installed solar, flashing pedestrian crossing with push-button at the junior high (Fifth and Main) and discussed ordering signage for six Broadway/Main side streets; Public Works staff will order and install the signs.
Committee members reviewed recently installed pedestrian-safety hardware and new street signage planned for multiple Broadway/Main side streets.
A member presented photos of a newly activated pedestrian crossing with a push-button and solar-powered flashing lights at the junior high at Fifth and Main and said the device functioned when tested.
Separately, committee members reviewed a list of six locations off Broadway and Main that lacked directional or identification signs. The list included East First and Southeast Main; Northwest Third Avenue and Northeast Main; Northwest Fifth Avenue and Northeast Main; Northeast Third; Northeast Fourth; and Northeast Fifth (all on North Broadway). A Public Works staff member said those signs are being ordered and will be installed as resources permit.
Members thanked Public Works staff for installing the crossing and completing the sign list; no formal budget action was taken at the meeting.
