Open Forum-
Elks Club Crosswalk-Chris Riley reported that the Traffic Safety Committee determined that placing the
crosswalk at that location did not support the City’s connectivity plan as there is no sidewalk on Laurel
Street that would be connected by a crosswalk to the S Mobile Street sidewalk. With the recent traffic
fatality just South of the American Legion, the committee recommends that traffic calming, turn warning
signs and lights be placed on both ends of the curve.
