Maple Street crosswalk engineered; CDBG grant will fund pedestrian improvements
Summary
Staff said Maple Street crosswalk engineering is complete and a CDBG grant will fund pedestrian improvements; council members suggested adding an additional crossing at Park and 161 to improve safety for pool and event traffic.
Staff told council the Maple Street crosswalk project has been engineered and that the town received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) to fund pedestrian improvements. "We received a CDBG grant for, pedestrian... it starts this January, and we have 2 years to complete it," the staff member said, noting the estimate was higher than expected and describing a proposed island and flashing lights as part of the design.
A council member urged adding a crosswalk at Park and 161 to serve pool users and event traffic; members discussed whether police support and funding could allow adding the crossing this year. "I think 1 of the other areas, possibly to add to look at is down at Park And 161," a council member said, requesting staff evaluate feasibility and costs.
