- Staff · September 20, 2023The DMV crash history for the last eight years do not show any reported pedestrians crashes on Main St in the curve near Pear St. Pedestrian crossing warning signs exist on Main St in both directions before the curve near Pear St advising motorists of pedestrians crossing in a 1,000’ section. For the curve warning sign with an advisory 15mph speed, DPW will plan to install one for westbound similar to the existing sign eastbound.
- Staff · July 23, 2025A curve warning sign for traffic headed westbound on Main St will be implemented. A capital improvement project is underway that will improve sidewalks, curb ramps, and crosswalks. The Department will verify all proper signs are installed.
