Pedestrian safety
Summary
A new 20 mph school zone would be created on Mydland Road between West 5th and Hillpond, and the city's three existing school zones would get upgraded solar flashers — about $50,000 total. Crosswalks remain a challenge until the West Haven development adds curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
