Description
Two wooden barriers were recently installed in the gravel parking lot near the bus station. At night the barriers are not readily visible, making for a dangerous situation. I personally saw a Prius hit one of them last Friday night.
The barriers need reflectors put on the sides and the ends to make them visible.
Also, has anyone thought about what is going to happen when 2 feet of snow falls in that lot? The barriers, with snow piled up all around them, is going to make that portion of the lot unusable.

Whoever put the orange Home Depot bucket up on top of one of the barriers... good idea but the bucket is not reflective. At night it is just as invisible as the wooden barriers.
a few reflectors screwed to the sides and ends of the barriers would take care of this safety issue
