Safety changes

Had a good meeting with School officials regarding parking on the streets by the Intermediate School East of Highway 65. We are also going to ask the county to lower the 55 mph speed limit east of 65 on 5 to the s curve. This will allow for safer traffic flow especially during the school year.

The City and School District are in agreement with these needed safety changes. The City and School District will be communicating these proposed changes to our parents and citizens and making a joint request to the County. I hope the County will agree to our requested changes for the safety of all our children and citizens.

This is a great example of two jurisdictions working well together.

Do the students cross Hwy. 5 to get to school or do they get bussed? If they are not currently crossing, will the drop in speed limit allow them to walk to school?

As far as I know they are currently bussed and will continue to do so untill there is a controlled intersection. These are however School District decisions.

The past instance of this was the 23/5 intersection.
