Description
At 8:56am, 10/22/24 i was almost hit by a eastbound vehicle as i crossed the school crosswalk on foot. The driver stopped, apologized and told me she couldn’t see the pedestrian crossing sign. Its covered by a large wooden pole 10 inches in front of it. Please fix this before a small student gets killed. Im keeping reciepts on this request and will post that the City was aware when a tragedy happens. One easy solution could be to just put the blocked sign on the pole blocking it. Thanks.
