Local student urges flashing LED stop‑sign lights at busy school crossing
Summary
A 14‑year‑old Prosper resident asked council to install flashing LED lights on stop signs at Legacy and Prairie to improve safety for students who cross there daily, saying the intersection can be "very scary" during school hours.
Fourteen‑year‑old Prosper resident Gabriel (Gabe) Coleman told the council on Aug. 25 that drivers often fail to notice stop signs at the Legacy and Prairie intersection and asked the town to install flashing LED lights at the stop signs to improve pedestrian safety for students.
"Adding bright flashing lights to [the] stop signs would immediately catch driver's attentions," Coleman said, noting dozens of students cross the intersection daily and describing the crossing as "very scary" during morning and afternoon school travel times. Mayor Pro Tem Amy Bartley noted that public works director Carrie Jones was present and said staff would follow up with Coleman after the meeting to collect additional information.
The request will be routed to town staff for review; council members suggested filling out a citizen comment form so public works could contact the student and evaluate feasibility and costs.
