Board backs traffic committee recommendations for school-zone lights, crosswalks and no-parking near football entrance
Summary
Trustees received a traffic-committee update recommending flashing school-zone lights, new crosswalks (including Bridge Street), and a no-parking strip near the football-field entrance to improve visibility and safety at night.
The superintendent and trustees reported outcomes from a traffic-committee meeting that focused on how traffic flows around the school and safety concerns raised by residents.
Committee members recommended installing flashing school-zone lights at several key approaches, adding crosswalks (including on Bridge Street) and creating a no-parking strip from the football-field entrance to the existing crosswalk to improve sightlines during events. "Putting some crosswalks there and then for and they would all hopefully be on timers," the Superintendent said, describing plans to have lights operate only during school hours or event times.
The board discussed possible bollards to protect a fire hydrant and the city's role in adding lighting. Trustees agreed to continue coordination with city public works and the road department to implement the committee's recommendations; no formal appropriation was made at the meeting.
