Board discusses traffic safety: beacons, crosswalks and speed reduction near schools
Summary
Board members described planned traffic-safety measures near schools — flashing beacons, crosswalks and a reduction of the posted speed from 45 to 40 mph — and said maps and signage will be shared with the board before implementation.
Board members reported progress on transportation and pedestrian-safety measures near district schools, including installation of beacons, new crosswalks and a reduction of the posted speed from 45 to 40 mph in a relevant corridor. A board member said the beacons will flash, signs are being installed and maps showing routing and flow will be shared with the board for review before wider public release.
Board members credited Paul (transportation/planning lead) for his coordination with the Department of Transportation and said some traffic patterns will allow dual-lane movements in the morning but will be more controlled in the afternoon. The board asked staff to circulate the proposed maps and signage to members for feedback before implementation.
