Flashing Pedestrian Signals Installed in Old Town; Free Public Service Announcements

In his latest report (https://goo.gl/aOqX7O) City Manager Dylan Feik reports: 

~ Rapid flashing solar-powered pedestrian crosswalk signals have been installed at three mid-block crosswalks in Old Town to warn drivers when a pedestrian is entering a crosswalk. This increases the rate drivers yield to pedestrians by as much as 80 percent. The city will assess the effectiveness of the signals and may install them at other crosswalks.

~ If you want to create a public service announcement for your organization, KGemTV will be hosting PSA Day on August 18 to offer organizations an opportunity to create a free 30-second announcement. For details contact KGemTv at 357-4974 or KGemTV@gmail.com.
