Description
Right in front of the school there is a well-marked crosswalk on Oberlin Rd with a lined median. However, drivers routinely drive across it at high speeds regardless of whether pedestrians are already in the crosswalk. Please put signs in both the northbound and southbound directions: "Yield to pedestrians in crosswalk - STATE LAW" or something to that effect.

All of the paving/painting has been done
and still Nothing has been fixed!?!?!
So our kids have to fend for themselves against ever increasing traffic of Oberlin Rd.
I’m very concerned that this hasn’t been prioritized before school starting!
This crossing needs signs, flashing lights and stop signal to make sure that drivers See this and stop before something bad happens.
Having the utmost safety for our kids against oncoming traffic both during and after school should be the most important part of this project.
This needs to be addressed today!
