Albany council approves flashing beacons for North Albany Road school zone
Summary
The council approved a motion to install flashing beacons in the North Albany Road school zone after staff said the technology is technically feasible; the motion passed by voice vote Sept. 10.
The Albany City Council voted Sept. 10 to install flashing beacons in the North Albany Road school zone.
Staff told the council the beacons are technically feasible after follow‑up meetings with the contractor that provides the capability. Councilor Smith made the motion to install the flashing lights and Councilor Thompson seconded; the motion passed by voice vote. The record shows an earlier motion on the subject had been withdrawn after a councilor recused herself at a prior meeting.
Next steps: staff will coordinate with the contractor and return with implementation details and a schedule.
