Description

I'd like to request a pedestrian activated crosswalk across E Phillips Ave at S Pennsylvania St. Powell Middle School is located about 1,000 feet north of this intersection and many children cross E Phillips Ave to get to/from school. There is also a school bus that stops along E Phillips Ave not far from this intersection, I believe for Heritage High School, and again many children cross E Phillips Ave to get to/from the school bus. The speed limit on E Phillips Ave is 30 mph, so the automobile traffic is moving reasonably fast. Also, the sun is blinding for drivers in the morning and afternoon for most of the school year when facing all directions (east and west on E Phillips Ave and facing south when on S Pennsylvania St). The lack of a pedestrian activated crosswalk forces the children to fend for themselves and run across E Phillips Ave with automobiles moving at 30 mph or faster, often with blinding sunshine. The children are often dangerously hard to spot. I’d love to see a safer crossing at this intersection and a pedestrian activated crosswalk seems to be the perfect solution.
