A commissioner raised a safety concern about low visibility on Wait Street, noting that when fog and darkness combine, drivers and pedestrians are difficult to see and that reflective striping would help. The chair and staff both acknowledged the risk and discussed recent and ongoing street striping and lighting work.
During the discussion staff noted punch‑list fixes and striping work completed on West First and West Seventh and said a flashing light near Athens remains to be addressed. The concern was framed as a local safety issue for pedestrians and drivers, and staff said they would continue to follow up on needed corrections.
