Pedestrian crosswalk beacons on 9th Street
Summary
The city is weighing $20,601 in rapid flashing beacons at two 9th Street crossings that children and pedestrians struggle to cross. There have been no pedestrian injuries there, and the recommendation came from a student study, prompting cost concerns — but TID 7 funds can cover it without touching the general levy.
