School Crossing Overpasses Favored On First Avenue
A city committee on school crossing safety recommends constructing pedestrian overpasses at designated crossing points on First Avenue as part of a widened corridor. Five or six overpasses are possible with costs ranging from 30 000 to 60 000 dollars each, versus about 25 000 dollars per location for signals that would disrupt synchronized traffic along the avenue. Planning depends on a forthcoming First Avenue traffic study and review of city crossing systems.
