Resident warns of near-miss at poorly visible island and urges lighting, reflective markings
Summary
Dana Greenwood showed video of a median on a state route that she said is hard to see in snow and at night and urged the city to add reflectors and lighting after nearly being struck; staff said the route is a state route and public works is coordinating with the state.
Dana Greenwood told the Cheney City Council during public comment that reflective markers on a median on a state route are so worn that drivers don’t see them until they are next to the island. "I was nearly in an accident last week," Greenwood said, describing a vehicle crossing into her lane less than a car length from her.
Presiding staff acknowledged the city’s public works staff and noted the road is a state route; the presiding officer and staff encouraged Greenwood to continue communicating with Todd in public works, and said the city has already contacted state partners. The council agreed additional visibility measures, including reflective tape and improved lighting near the crosswalk, would be useful to pursue during coordination with the state.
