SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The downtown corridor for the City of McCall sees an exponential increase in pedestrian traffic during the summer months. As such, City Council directed the review of placing a crossing
guard at Highway 55 and Railroad Avenue to alleviate the congestion that inevitably occurs during those months.
Due to the fact that the crossing guard would be an “official traffic control device,” the Idaho Transportation Department was consulted for input at the onset of this project. See the
attached memo from Chief Justin Williams to City Manager, Nathan Coyle, dated May 12, 2017, for specific recommendations and requirements regarding the use of Crossing Guards.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
For discussion and direction of the Council.
