Reading The Minutes - Crosswalk Striping: git er done!

Posted on 4:00 AM by Unknown
From the Village of Brockport Board meeting minutes of 11/27/12:

Crosswalk Striping - Trustee Blackman read the following letter into the record:

November 21, 2012

Dear Mayor Castañeda and Village Trustees:

It has come to my attention that a number of street crossings in the village do not have striped crossings. As walking to school and walking the village, in general, become more popular, it is imperative that the village do all it can to provide for a safe walking environment.

A couple of years ago questionnaires were given to parents as they arrived at school on Walk To School Day. The questionnaires were intended to learn of the experiences of the children and parents and solicit suggestions for future walks. Far and away the most mentioned concern was cars not slowing down nor stopping at street crossings. Safety is the number one concern of parents when their children walk or ride bicycles anywhere. As a village which is striving to be a walkable community, the omission of markings for safe street crossings is unacceptable.

If resources are scarce, perhaps our police department or department of public works personnel can identify the busiest pedestrian intersections to stripe first with the goal being striping all crosswalks in the village.

As the Brockport Central School Physician, Head of the Walk To School Day Committee and community pediatrician, I strongly urge you to put striping of crosswalks at the top of your to do agenda. Let’s not wait for an accident to happen to get this important work done.

Sincerely,
James Goetz, MD, MPH

Trustee Blackman said she knows DPW purchased the proper paint, but did not get to it this year.
Mayor Castañeda said DPW Superintendent Donahue will be directed to make crosswalk striping a priority this spring and to work it into DPW’s regular work schedule each spring thereafter.

Mayor Castañeda said she had not received Dr. Goetz’s letter.

Trustee Blackman said he forwarded it to her to share at this evening’s meeting.
