City staff: May study will assess school‑day crosswalk safety and possible lighting
Summary
City staff told the council the city has requested a school‑day crosswalk study at specified elementary school locations in early May; the study will check whether crosswalks should be relocated and whether lights or other safety measures are warranted, with results expected two to three weeks later.
City staff said the city has scheduled a school‑day study of crosswalks at specified elementary‑school locations in early May to determine whether current crosswalk placements are optimal and whether additional safety measures such as lighting are needed. "They said after they do that in May, they should have results to the city within 2 to 3 weeks, I believe," staff member Shay told the council.
Shay said the study will examine whether an alternate crosswalk location would be safer than the existing location and, if the current placement remains preferred, whether adding lights and other measures should be considered. The council did not take a formal vote at the work meeting but asked staff to return with the study results when available.
