Compromise Looms In Crossing Issue At Poplar St
Mayor Charles V. Neesot announced a possible agreement with the State Highway Department on a pedestrian crosswalk at Poplar Street and the Northeast Bypass to spare schoolchildren a long walk. The plan calls for a pedestrian actuated traffic light instead of extending Poplar Street, which is not currently feasible. The mayor noted the city may revisit the extension if conditions change, amid renewed concerns from parents about the missing crossing to Allen and St Jude schools.
