Residents urge crosswalk markings for accessibility, warming-shelter updates and note sidewalk needs
Summary
Multiple residents during public forum asked council to mark crosswalks and signs for disabled pedestrians downtown, reported progress on a small warming shelter, and urged broader sidewalk repairs; several residents also voiced policing grievances that mirrored items earlier raised by Councilor Mayo.
At the public forum, Marc Gregory asked the city to mark crosswalk areas and install signage to make drivers aware of disabled pedestrians in downtown Steubenville. Father Drake McCallister provided an update on a small warming shelter created when larger shelters were shut down. Damoser (Damosee) Pendleton repeated concerns about needed sidewalk repairs, and residents Shannon White and Tiffany White spoke about incidents involving police officers.
Cookie West reported she is coordinating with SVRTA to provide shuttles to the Unlimited Playground once construction is complete, and Curtis Lavender raised the Arlington Avenue parking and alley access issue already discussed in council. Council moved to adjourn following public forum.
