Description

The crosswalks at the South Elementary School have become so bad they're not visible by drivers.

There were originally two crosswalks in the area, but one was marked with a big 'NO-X' as not to be repainted this spring because it did not meet code. It was painted white anyway along with the legitimate one. It was then painted over black. The black partially wore away leaving a barely visible white crosswalk. The legitimate crosswalk has also worn away so bad it is barely visible.

With all the construction on Summer Street, there is barely anything left of either crosswalk. This is directly in front of the South School and are the only crosswalks in the area. During the few hours the crossing guards are there it is not as much of a problem. However parents and children use this play area all day long and on weekends and need a crosswalk available.

For safety reasons, please make this a priority to get a visible crosswalk installed here.

Thank you.
