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

We are trying to get some grants to put more of those lights in the village.
