The new crosswalk at Highway 59 and 12th Avenue (right by Nonna’s Pizza and Tiki Mini Golf) is officially in place.
What’s New?
Signal Heads Installed: The new pedestrian crossing signals are up and powered on! These include "count-down" timers to let you know exactly how much time you have to cross safely.
Push-Button Ready: The tactile push-buttons are in place and ready for use.
Ramps & Tactile Paving: The concrete work is finished, including the red truncated domes (the "bumpy" pads) to assist visually impaired pedestrians.
Striping Complete: The bright white crossing lanes have been painted, providing a clear path across the highway.
Why it Matters
Previously, there was a long stretch on Highway 59 between Fort Morgan Road and Waterville without a designated crossing. This new addition bridges that gap, making it easier to cross safely.
