Pedestrian Safety Brochures

In response to a number of complaints from senior citizens about difficulty in crossing city streets, a brochure entitled How Pedestrian Signals Work was created in July of 2001 by the city's Transportation Division and critiqued by the Pedestrian Safety Committee. Visits were then made to every senior residential center in the city to distribute the brochure and explain how pedestrian signals work. This provided an opportunity to answer questions and identify locations where seniors had difficulty crossing streets. Other brochures, created in December 2002, include Crosswalk Flags explaining the Adopt-a-Crosswalk program and Pedestrian Laws which explains laws regarding pedestrian and automobile interaction.
