Thanks to neighbors like Jim Frost, the painting for the new pedestrian crossing on Sixth at Spruce was completed Wednesday by city crews. Work will continue with the installation of solar powered, pedestrian activated, flashing LED signs. Completion is anticipated by the end of August.
The new crosswalk was a high priority to residents who wanted to provide safer access between the neighborhood and Balboa Park. This action was spearheaded by the Bankers Hill Residents Group with financial support coming from the Uptown Parking District which will be providing funding for the flashing signs.
