Street safety is the clearest concern right now.

What stands out: 31 of 42 street safety requests mention school arrival, dismissal, or children crossing the street.
SUGGESTED NEXT STEP
Consider adding this to the Transportation Committee agenda
There are enough similar requests to discuss school-zone crossings as one issue, rather than responding to each request separately.
The requests behind this
In residents’ own words, so you can check the summary.
Could the board look into a safer crossing on Sixth Avenue near the school? The signal timing is too short for families.
We need something to slow cars down on West 11th. Drivers are not stopping for people in the crosswalk.
About these trends
Tell Us groups similar requests and summarizes patterns. It does not make decisions, prioritize residents, or send responses. Board members should always read the original request before taking action.
