Matt Graves, Director of the Physical Plant worked out a plan with Avista, and the college is paying for four lights to be constructed on 6^th Street. They should be complete by the end of the 2013 spring semester.

Safety concern: New Crosswalk at 6th St. and 9th Ave:
Action taken by the Safety Committee:
Matt Graves said his plans for the cross walk are complete. After the details are approved by the city, construction will begin to include a wheel chair ramp and then the city will paint a cross walk. The college is aiming to have the curb and cross walk complete by the start of fall semester.
Safety concern: Safety of Pedestrians on 6th St. and 11th Ave:
Discussion and or Action taken by the Safety Committee:

Matt Graves and Chris Dugger of the city walked around campus deciding where parallel parking would be removed and red paint would go to improve visibility of pedestrians around cross-walks and other heavily used areas. The city will begin the project when their budget allows and when the “’painting season” arrives. We expect the city will paint the cross-walk at 7^th Ave. and 4^th St. at the same time they paint red curb.
