Committee presses for school-zone beacons and parking solutions as turf and security plans advance

The project presenter told the committee that turf construction documents are being completed for bidding and that the team is reviewing the addition of security cameras for fields. "We will have construction documents by the end of this month ready for bidding," the presenter said.

Several members raised concerns about arrival and dismissal safety on Maple, urging consideration of flashing school-zone beacons and additional striping and signage. One committee member said the moment is intense and noted the number of people passing through: "I have approximately 1,000 people have exiting this campus in, like, a 5 minute time frame, and it's a combination of walkers, cars, parent pickup, and buses all at the same time to 1 main road." Staff agreed to engage DPW and the district traffic engineer about possible state-funded beacon options and to ask the site contractor to prioritize striping.
