Tracy Bodeo updated the commission on the Downtown Transportation Fund project, stating that material orders were nearly complete and that installation is expected before the end of the summer. The project includes new lighting and pedestrian-safety improvements intended to increase visibility in the downtown core.
Staff outlined crosswalk safety enhancements that will prioritize two middle crosswalks near the Darling Inn. Planned measures include curb bump-outs, button-activated signage, and the use of a bright-colored paint (rather than standard white) to improve crosswalk visibility. No construction schedule beyond a general end-of-summer installation target was recorded.
