The Main and College crosswalk improvement project continues this week.  The project involves designating a crosswalk on the north side of the intersection.

That crosswalk includes a button for pedestrians to push when wanting to cross the street. The button turns on a flashing beacon informing traffic that someone is crossing the street.

A map at the bottom of this story shows the crosswalk plan.

The project also removes the crosswalk on the south side of the intersection.

In April, council’s streets and alleys committee recommended spending $11,730 for the features at the Main and College intersection.

The project includes:
1 – Install rectangular rapid flashing beacon, $5,800
2 – Crosswalk symbol and pedestal pole, $440
3 – Downward diagonal arrow and pedestal pole, $240
4 – Removal of southern crosswalk and addition of yield symbols, $1,750
5 – Addition of widened crosswalk, yield symbols, paint outlines of parking spaces from Grove to College, $3,500
6 – Addition of reduced speed zone ahead 25 MPH signs, (provided by ODOT)
