School Zone Safety Improvements Coming Soon

Over the next week, residents will see several improvements to school zones and school routes throughout the community designed to increase pedestrian safety and help calm traffic in busy areas.

Thermoplastic crosswalks will be added to eight crosswalks near schools. These highly visible crosswalks are more durable and longer-lasting than traditional painted crosswalks, helping improve visibility for both drivers and pedestrians.

Additional traffic-calming improvements will also be made near Baldwin Creek Elementary and Lander Middle School, including:

Smith Street at Academic Way: Stop signs will be installed on Smith Street to improve traffic control at the intersection.
North 8th Street at Clinchard Street: Two stop signs will be added to North 8th Street to improve safety and help slow traffic through the area.

These improvements are intended to create safer, more pedestrian-friendly school zones for students, families, and the entire community.

Please use extra caution when driving through school zones, follow all posted signs, and remain alert for pedestrians.
