Re: Add Crosswalk on Eddy St. at 2nd Street Tto 2009 Public works
Pavement Markings work
The City received a request to paint a crosswalk across Eddy street at 2nd
Street. During the car shows, people are parking their cars at the corners of the
intersection, blocking the flow of pedestrian traffic along the sidewalk on the
south side of 2nd Street. The proposed crosswalk is intended to delineate the
pedestrian crossing at Eddy Street and to keep parked cars from blocking its
path.
In 200, Council adopted a pavement marking policy that included a list of
approved crosswalk locations that met the policy criteria of being located on
collector streets adjacent to parks or schools, or at the intersection of two high
volume collector streets. The proposed Eddy Street crosswalk does not meet the
pavement marking policy criteria for crosswalks; therefore, Council is asked to
make an exception to the policy to permit the painting of the crosswalk at the
Eddy and 2nd Street intersection.
