Residents press fixes for broken flashing crosswalk, valet signage and snow‑removal resources
Summary
A resident asked when a broken flashing crosswalk at Sedan and Truett will be restored (staff said one pole is available but a second is needed and the job may require a contractor), while Hyrule Square HOA and other residents sought brighter no‑parking signs and better neighborhood snow‑removal equipment.
During public comment, Charlie Bradville asked whether the meeting minutes captured his previous requests about a broken flashing crosswalk at Sedan and Truett and the status of outstanding repairs. A staff member said the city has one pole available but still needs a second and that the repair is likely larger than DPW can handle alone, which may require contracting out the work.
A Hyrule Square HOA representative said valet parking connected with nearby restaurants is creating parking and circulation problems on narrow residential streets and that no‑parking signs are faded and poorly reflective at night. The HOA asked whether signs could be brighter or better lit; the chair requested a photo so works could assess options and suggested staff follow up with the works department.
Residents also pressed for greater neighborhood snow‑removal capacity after a recent storm left side streets difficult to use. Bradville asked whether the city has smaller or additional equipment beyond front‑end loaders for neighborhood cleanups; staff said they would check with works and provide information next week.
No formal actions were taken at the meeting; staff agreed to seek photos of signage, pursue parts for the crosswalk repair and return with updates.
