Remarks IMPLEMENTED
Whereas The crosswalk at Border & Yates (which crosses Border) is consistently being ignored by traffic as students are attempting to cross Border St.; and
Whereas As a student, I have experienced and witnessed others caught in the middle of the crosswalk as cars pass in each direction; and
Whereas These are traffic violations; and
Whereas The yellow crosswalk signs are not a working deterrent; and
Whereas This is physically endangering our students; and
Whereas It is the responsibility of UTA to protect its students and faculty to the best of its ability.
Be It Further Resolved That Lights be installed at the crosswalk to deter vehicles from entering the crosswalk as pedestrians cross; and
Be It Further Resolved That A Yield to Pedestrian sign with slow blinking lights be installed at the crosswalk to deter vehicles from entering the crosswalk as pedestrians cross; and
Be It Further Resolved That If it is not in UTA's jurisdiciton, it be immediately referred to the City of Arlington for implementation.
