Committee recommends new crosswalks at East North/North Mildred and Church Street to improve pedestrian visibility

Multiple residents asked the committee to add crosswalks and signage at several intersections, including East North Street & North Mildred and East North & Church Street. One committee member recommended a motion: "I would recommend putting crosswalks on all 4 streets at the intersection of East North Street and North Mildred Street." The committee agreed that painted crosswalks at locations where sidewalks already exist would improve visual cues to drivers.

At East North and North Church, staff said sidewalks exist on some approaches and recommended painting crosswalks on the Church Street side; the committee had no objection to forwarding that recommendation to the full council. On South Samuel, members asked staff to return with additional traffic and speed data before deciding whether to add additional stop signs given sight-line and geometry concerns.
