Howard Street pedestrian crossing

Presented data showing 25 kids crossing four lanes of 13,000 cars/day at 40 mph and asked for a pedestrian-activated signal rather than moving the crossing uphill; noted Winchell already has a comparable signal.

Recounted being nearly killed by a speeding car at the Howard Street crosswalk in 2019 and asked the commission to reconsider moving it uphill.

Said her son and mother were nearly hit on Howard in the same 2019 crash and asked for a pedestrian-activated signal at the current location.

30-year Vine resident urged a pedestrian-activated stoplight, noting current flashing lights are blocked and inadequate.

Deserved volunteering as a crossing guard and cars refusing to stop even for him; asked commissioners to visit and supported a push-button signal as originally funded.

A former Maple Street student described kids nearly being hit at the crossing and begged the commission not to move it uphill.
