While I appreciate that Witherspoon St is a ‘work in progress’ it also need to be fit-for-purpose in the moment. School is back in session, and 100s of kids are crossing Witherspoon St everyday. The current condition of the road, and in particular crosswalks, is putting their lives in danger. The situation needs urgent action before a child is injured. This cannot wait until the next phase of the Witherspoon redesign project is completed. I implore the town to 1) remediate with temporary measures to improve safety starting today. 2) In the longer term, prioritize completion of the street-scape in front of the school.
