Steele Improvements
Construction will begin on replacing the existing mid-block school signal at Steele Elementary starts next week. That signal will be moved a little to the south to get the kids out of the commercial driveway they are crossing from now.
Likewise, mid-block bump-outs will be constructed with it to shorten the crossing and also prevent people from parking in the crossing area, which was a complaint from school staff and some parents who walked their students in from east of the school. The signal will also be converted to a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon – more information on these can be found at http://www.springsgov.com/News.aspx?NewsID=766.
