Crosswalk near traffic signal?

[techgirl]

I was just wondering if there had ever been any investigation into putting in a pedestrian crosswalk near Foothills Bakery. I know that there's been a sidewalk project in the planning stages and I'm not even talking about how wonderful it would be to have those around. But watching many families (mine included) try to race across that intersection after the parade on the 4th made me wonder why there isn't a safe way for runners, walkers & school children to cross Main street in that area?
Sorry if this is a dead horse I'm beating- I'm new here!

Several times I have requested that the district highway engineer put in a crosswalk in the same area you refer to.  His comment had always been there is not enough sight distance.  Perhaps now with the Food Venture building removed it would be more viable.  I will contact him again to see if it can be done. Thanks for reminding me.  John Mitchell
