Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Honorable Councilmember Carlos Alvarez
Subject:Safety Signals in Pedestrian Crosswalks
Date:5/14/2019

Recommendation:

I would like to propose for our Mayor and Council Members to consider supporting the placement of Safety Signals in Pedestrian Crosswalks on Montrose Road. Since many of our residents walk, jog or ride bike to the park, it would be ideal for drivers on that road to be alerted, from a safety perspective, when a resident/pedestrian will be crossing the street.

Also, we should consider venturing into incorporating these Safety Signals in other Pedestrian Crosswalks. We could start with Montrose Road and possibly continue adding in other crosswalks.

Fiscal Impact: $20,000 approximately

Guiding Principle: 1, 2
