Council discusses courthouse crosswalks after members report near-misses
Summary
A council member described observed incidents of pedestrians being hit or nearly hit crossing near the courthouse and urged coordination with DOT for better signage and crosswalk completion.
A council member raised safety concerns about crosswalks near the courthouse, saying it appeared work was not fully completed and that people had been struck crossing the street. "It does not appear to me as though the courthouse put the crosswalks and then finished," the council member said and asked whether the city could coordinate with the Department of Transportation on additional signs.
Staff replied that part of the area falls outside city jurisdiction and that responsibility for painting or completing crosswalks may rest with property owners or other agencies; staff said they would "try to get this across" to the appropriate parties. No formal directive or schedule for improvements was recorded in the transcript.
