Committee hears bike- and pedestrian-safety concerns for students from Meridian
Summary
A staff member identified as Katie told the committee students coming from Meridian lack a safe route and recommended crosswalks at Church and Parke Lane; committee may meet with the township to explore options.
Katie, identified only by her first name in the minutes, told the committee that students bicycling from Meridian do not have a safe crossing of Meridian and must travel down narrow Church Road to reach the bridge. The minutes record that "Students coming from Meridian do not have a safe route crossing Meridian and down Church Road until the bridge." She highlighted Church Road's narrow width and proposed developing crosswalks at Church Road and Parke Lane as possible mitigations.
The committee discussed next steps and the potential for a formal meeting with township officials to coordinate safety improvements. The minutes list this as a candidate for future committee action but do not record a formal directive or vote; follow-up will require scheduling and coordination with township traffic or public-works staff.
