The City's Public Works Department will address concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians utilizing the crosswalk in front of our library on Evers Road by (1) Installing "Crosswalk Ahead" thermos (plastic letters in white) on the pavement 200 yards each way from the crosswalk; and (2) Putting up flashing "Crosswalk Ahead - Stop for Pedestrians" signs, 200 yards away from the crosswalk in both directions.
