City
experiments with crosswalks
By Jim Cornelius
 |
Pavers
are now featured on the Fir Street and Main Avenue crosswalk. |
The City of Sisters is experimenting with methods to make the crosswalks themselves more visible, with the hope that drivers will take them more seriously.
A construction crew is installing pavers inside the crosswalk on Fir Street at the corner of Main Avenue in front of City Hall. The crosswalk on Main Avenue at the same location will have pavers only in the stripes.
According to city Public Works Director Gary Frazee, he and city staff will observe the crosswalks and talk to drivers and citizens to see which style seems more effective.
The city will use the chosen style on selected crosswalks around the city.
The experimental project has a $1,500 price tag, to be paid out of the city street fund.
