The city wants flashing beacons at key crosswalks — Wells/Campbell, Wells/Baker, Lakeshore Drive locations — but there's no money left in 2026. Engineer Kapur flagged that Wells/Baker is too close to Wells/Campbell to work well, and the committee wants the Seminary/Lakeshore curve reevaluated before spending an estimated $300,000.
