Council hears request to memorialize crossing guard killed on 1600 North; staff to return with options
Summary
A council member relayed a request from the son of crossing guard Steve Win asking the city to memorialize his father (for example by adding a commemorative name alongside 1600 North); council members supported further discussion and asked staff to return with a formal agenda item.
A council member said Scott Wyn (identified as the son of crossing guard Steve Win) asked the city to consider memorializing his father after the fatal collision at Main Street and 1600 North. The request was for a memorial name in addition to retaining the official street name for addressing purposes (a model the speaker said exists in another jurisdiction).
Council members expressed sympathy, described the crossing guards’ service and discussed options such as an additional memorial name or commemorative signage rather than changing official addressing. The mayor asked staff to bring the request back as a work-meeting agenda item so council can consider specific options, designs and any procedural steps.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; staff will return with recommended options for council review.
