Description
Lighted/flashing cross walk needed for park trail. Speeding, parked cars and blind curve make crossing here unsafe. Drivers do not yield to those crossing.

Agreed. This crossing has needed upgrades for a long time, and will be even more needed as we build out our Cedar Park trail network. ATMOS has already agreed we can install more trail on their ROW. Note: At the Texas Pedestrian Safety Forum data was shown that a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) had the best yield compliance, followed by the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) - those "sign edge" LEDs are not very effective. This would also be a great location to install a raised crosswalk - those are very effective, especially if you make the slope ideal for the vehicular speed limit.

Any updates? Is a plan being worked on? There are a LOT of kids going to the bus stop just North of this crossing every morning and coming back from it every afternoon - plus all the people crossing to access the park.
Please prioritize this issue.
