Traffic committee recommends flashing school‑zone lights, new crosswalks and no‑parking for events
Summary
A traffic committee review found locations for school‑zone flashing lights and suggested blocking several parking spots near the football field at events to improve visibility; the city will assess lighting and bollard options.
The district's traffic committee presented recommendations to improve safety near the school and athletic field, including installing school‑zone flashing lights at key crossings, adding a crosswalk over Bridge Street and creating no‑parking zones at the football-field entrance during events to improve sight lines.
The superintendent (Speaker 5) said the city will evaluate adding lighting and bollards around a fire hydrant that has repeatedly been blocked by parked cars. The committee recommended timers for flashing lights so they operate only during school hours and event times; board members discussed placement and the trade-offs of losing about seven to eight parking spaces for safety.
