Council flags unfinished Safe Routes recommendations; railroad crossing complicates fixes

Mayor Jason Frylinger told the joint session that the Safe Routes to School recommendations remain largely undone: "it's interesting that, you know, 90% of it is still undone," he said, urging partnership on priority crossings. Council and district staff stressed that many high‑priority pedestrian improvements require county or railroad permissions and upfront design work to be eligible for grant funds.
