Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The crossing-guard letter is an advocacy step, not an immediate change to how guards are managed. Members discussed a successful pilot using a third-party manager, but its funding ends in June unless more resources are found. The commission also discussed trail safety options, including lighting, call boxes, fencing, and coordination with the HEART program, without selecting a specific solution.
