Summary

Following safety concerns about a low-visibility crosswalk used by pedestrians and school-age children, the board directed the city administrator and city engineer to evaluate striping and flashing-warning options and report back.

Aldermen directed staff to evaluate pedestrian-safety improvements at the crosswalk connecting Henning Road and Bered Haven Boulevard near Bluebird/Bluebird Park.

Speaker 3 said the crosswalk is not highly visible, is on a curve and bridge, and is heavily used by pedestrians including elderly residents and children. He recommended installing a flashing crosswalk and re-striping before someone is injured and asked the city administrator and engineer to assess warranted improvements and return to the board.

Mayor (Speaker 7) and other members supported prioritizing the location, citing limited striping and speeding by drivers. Kathy (Speaker 8) and staff were asked to research options and grants for striping and report back to the board.
