ISD #728 officials propose <br />diverting all student walkers to the t�vo controlled cYosswalks located at Jackson and FYeeport, as well as the <br />remaining mid-block cross`valk located in front of Parker ElementaryT. The e�stence of the cross`valk and RRFB <br />syTstem was originally intended to support the front entrance of Lincoln elementaryT school. As stated in the attached <br />letter, renovations to the school this summer moved the entrance to the west side along Jackson Avenue. <br />If approved, the solar RRFB would be salvaged and inventoried for future use. Staff supports the proposed route <br />consolidation and removal of this crosswalk at an uncontrolled location of School Street. <br />Financial Impact <br />The main removals of the cross�valk elements `vill be accomplished by city staf£ The removal of the paint markings <br />`vould be from an outside contractor and be at a cost of $2,300.
