Students urge traffic signal after safety data presented to Meeker trustees
Summary
Generation Citizen students asked the Meeker Board of Trustees to pursue a traffic signal at a four‑way crossing, citing traffic counts and student safety concerns; trustees said they would explore ODOT surveys and traffic records.
Generation Citizen students told the Meeker Board of Trustees on Feb. 17 that a four‑way crossing near the high school needs a traffic signal, presenting data they said showed "243 cars daily and 44% of high schoolers off‑campus during lunch." Trustee Aaron Head praised the students’ effort and the board discussed seeking an Oklahoma Department of Transportation survey and reviewing traffic records.
Mayor Donna Weber and other trustees encouraged continued engagement between the students and staff to gather technical data and next steps. The board did not take formal action but identified the town administrator and staff as contacts for follow‑up and possible coordination with ODOT.
