Mendota City Council and Mendota Unified School District Board of Trustees Joint Meeting · June 25, 2025

Summary

Officials reported that rectangular rapid flashing beacons are being installed along Oller Street as part of the Safe Routes to School Master Plan; council members also discussed a possible sidewalk along Highway 33 and raised concerns about loose dogs and the growing cat population near school routes.

City staff provided an update on the Safe Routes to School Master Plan during the June 25 joint meeting. The minutes state that rectangular rapid flashing beacons are being installed at crosswalks along Oller Street as part of ongoing implementation.

Council members discussed possible additional projects to support implementation, including the potential addition of a sidewalk along Highway 33 in the northern part of the city. Members also raised safety concerns about loose and potentially aggressive dogs near Divisadero Circle and throughout the community, and discussed the growing cat population and options for residents to seek help for sick or injured cats.

The minutes record these implementation items and community-safety concerns but do not list firm timelines or funding decisions tied to the new work beyond the beacon installations described.
