Council amends SB1 project list to add pedestrian safety improvements
Summary
Council approved an amended SB1 project list, adding pedestrian flashers near the downtown supermarket/post office and at Children's Park and requesting pedestrian improvements for Florence Loop/Dunsmuir Avenue and Pine Street.
City staff presented the annual SB1 (gas tax) project list for eligible street and road projects. The packet noted two staff priorities — crack sealing throughout the city and a pedestrian safety project near Hedge Creek Falls — and invited council and public suggestions for additions.
During public comment Ryan Fantini suggested flashing beacons near downtown park and supermarket. Council members proposed pedestrian flashers near the supermarket/post office and Children's Park, asked staff to consider raised crosswalks downtown and requested that the Florence Loop/Dunsmuir Avenue intersection and Pine Street crossing be added as candidate pedestrian‑safety projects. The resolution to approve the amended SB1 list passed; staff noted the 2026‑27 projected SB1 revenue of $47,784 and reminded the council that projects on the list are eligible items, not guarantees of immediate work.
