I think most of you have heard of our problems getting people to stop for the children crossing Main Street at the library. Some may have noticed the Stop signs we put in the street which did help, until they were ran over. We are working on funding to put up lighted stop signs at the crosswalk. In the meanwhile, I have mounted holders and crossing flags on both sides of the crosswalk. If you would help teach our young people to hold a flag in front of them to get motorist attention, once all vehicles have stopped, carry the flag across the street and put it in the holder on the opposite side of the road. I believe for the most part that drivers do not notice the pedestrians waiting to cross, I hope that by calling attention to them with the flags it will make them safer.
