Council told rapid‑flash beacons, narrower lanes and school flashers will be added on Monarch
Summary
Staff said the Monarch safety package will add Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons at six school‑adjacent crossings, restripe lanes from 12 to 11 feet to reduce speeds, and install school flashers; staff listed the item on the consent calendar for approval.
At the study session staff described a set of targeted safety measures for Monarch Boulevard that officials said can be implemented this summer. "At these six intersections, we intend to put 1 set of RRFBs generally on the intersection that's towards the school," Rebecca said, referring to rapid‑flash pedestrian beacons.
Staff also proposed narrowing travel lanes from 12 to 11 feet to reduce speeds without affecting larger trucks, adding school flashers for the American Academy approach that staff treat as a school zone, and restriping problematic transitions. The presentation concluded with staff saying the item was on the consent calendar and that the work should have minimal traffic impact during construction.
