Keizer pilot pedestrian-flag program: volunteer exit, 11 flags reported and next steps
Summary
The committee heard an update on the pedestrian-flag pilot at Kennedy school, learned inventory rose to 11 flags, and agreed to quarterly monitoring and to ask the city counsel about removing the 'pilot' label after December.
The Keizer Multimodal Safety Committee received an update on a pilot pedestrian-flag program and agreed on follow-up steps after the program’s lead volunteer announced she will step down.
Speaker 6 told members she found 11 flags at Kennedy grade school — one more than the program’s expected inventory — and said she will continue to support the project by email after her final meeting. She noted the pilot was due to end in December and that representatives (Adam Brown and Tammy Salvador were named) planned to present recommendations to the City Council about continuing the program without city financial support.
Committee members agreed to provide at least quarterly updates after council counsel reviews any legal issues and recommended keeping the program on the committee’s monitoring list so neighborhood associations and staff can decide whether to expand locations or move maintenance to a third party. Speaker 2 said any decision to remove the word “pilot” from the program title should follow counsel review and council direction.
Next steps include circulating the council work-session link and confirming who will receive program updates; the committee expects to revisit the program in January if council feedback is available.
