Safe Streets committee narrows paving list; Market Street top priority
Summary
Chair and committee members reviewed the city's paving list and agreed Market Street should be paved and striped first, while many narrower residential streets were ruled out for centerline striping; crosswalks and school access will be handled separately.
The Safe Streets committee reviewed its priority paving list and identified Market Street as the first street to be repaved and striped, with University Place (Princeton to the dead end) following for inspection.
"Market Street is the 1st 1 on there that we would definitely wanna be paved," the Chair said as the group walked through a digital map. Members discussed residential streets where striping is unnecessary because on‑street parking and narrow widths make centerlines impractical, and agreed to coordinate striping details into the paving contract where appropriate.
Committee members flagged several residential blocks — including Trinity Place, Leffert Street and Bayard — as too narrow for centerlines and suggested focusing striping where it would improve safety or traffic flow. The group also asked staff to provide field inspections and to share the paving-list handout with members ahead of the next meeting.
The committee said crosswalks and school-specific markings will be managed separately from the paving contracts. Staff noted that stop bars and crosswalks will be integrated into projects when they are already present or when separately requested.
