School crosswalk safety addressed

Residents along 27th Street near Sunflower School were told by commissioners that either an adult crossing guard or a flashing beacon likely would be installed to help control traffic in the area.

Several neighbors had expressed concern that traffic in the area was not slowing for either children or adults trying to cross the street in the area. City commissioners directed staff members of the Public Works Department to prepare a report for next week’s meeting that would make a recommendation on whether a crossing guard, beacons or both should be installed.
