Analysis
Based upon pedestrian crossing activity, a new crossing guard post has been established across South Carrier Parkway at Queens Way for students of Reagan Middle School. It is recommended to amend Schedule III of the Traffic Register by establishing a new school zone on Carrier Parkway north and south of Queens Way to protect this crossing. This zone will be effective 8:00 am until 9:00 am and from 3:45 pm until 4:45 pm on school days.
Financial Consideration
The new 20 mph reduced speed school zone will be established using solar powered flashers. Costs associated with this new school zone will be paid out of the Street operating budget.
