Parents and residents urge immediate fixes after student struck at Carolyn crossing; police give crash statistics

A resident told the commission his son was struck Dec. 10 at the Carolyn crossing and is recovering; commissioners and staff discussed near-term visibility fixes, enforcement, and longer-term safety projects. The police reported 19 December crashes, including three bike and one pedestrian collision.

Kirby Alman, a Cypress Avenue resident and frequent pedestrian, said he has had multiple close calls at crosswalks in recent months and recommended clearer feedback from public surveys, longer painted curb no-parking zones near intersections, trimmed sightlines, and physical crossing posts like those used at Chaffee and Primrose. "If we had some more of those, that would really help," he said.
