� 1. Request for school pedestrian cross-walks (Bill Hamlin — Design West)
The above request was made by Mr. Hamlin in the interest of safety for students crossing
Santa Anna Avenue enroute to Sage Valley Middle school and Desert Springs Elementary.
The Traffic Commission concluded that installing cross-walks at uncontrolled intersections of
classified streets creates a false sense of safety in young pedestrians, and that crosswalks
generally should not be installed until signalization is implemented.
The motion was made and Traffic Commission agreed unanimously to forward a letter
indicating the City's willingness to work with the School district on the following solution:
• The City install a crosswalk and signage if the School District agrees to provide
crossing guards
Ac#�c�r� =;G+�r�?�,n Law— Send correspondence to Mr. Hamlin.
The next Traffic Commission Meeting will be December 3, 2007 a� 10:30 in the Mayors
conference room.
