Description

I would like a Rapid Flash Beacon to be considered at the crosswalks for Elm St & Maple St and Mansfield Ave & Maple St.

Speeding is an issue on Maple Street which is a common route traveled by our school kids. There is a crossing guard positioned at Mansfield Ave & Maple Street but only for a small window of time in the am and pm. Kids going into school early or leaving late do not have a crossing guard. I've experienced and witnessed multiple cars speeding passed while I'm standing at the crosswalks. Even across from Maple Street Park where there is a beacon, they don't stop. However, during winter months where it gets dark early, the beacon does make it safer. Thank you
