The Community Pool across from the Warren County YMCA has opened to the public. The new pool has parking on-site, however, when capacity numbers are increased, overflow will have to park at the Y and cross West Harlem Avenue. To help protect pedestrian traffic in the area, stop signs and a crosswalk will be placed between the two facilities according to Mayor Rod Davies:
“As the limits get lifted, there is an expectation that folks may have to park over in the Y parking lot for overflow. We were concerned about the safety of people crossing Harlem Avenue. We set up a crosswalk and two stop signs to stop the traffic in the middle of Harlem between F and G Streets. That will give them a good safe ten foot wide pedestrian crosswalk with stop signs from either direction,” states Mayor Davies.
The motion made to authorize the installation of the stop signs and a crosswalk was approved by city council.
