We have a few updates for you on the crosswalks near Dundee that the city planned to remove (at 51st and Farnam and 52nd and Chicago). The city has decided to study them for the coming school year before making any decisions about their removal.
The hundreds of you who emailed and called the city certainly made your voices heard. Way to go! You did such a great job that Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert is going to hold a listening session at Dundee Elementary School in the library on Wednesday, August 9, 2017, at 6:30pm. She plans to bring representatives from the city's Public Works department and they can take questions and respond to our concerns at that time.
Please attend the meeting to show the Mayor how much we value these crosswalks as safe routes for our kids to get to school. We know our community will be respectful to the Mayor and her staff while voicing our concerns.
We also are forming a committee on the PTO that will deal with the crosswalks and any other walkability issues that may arise. If you're interested in joining the committee, send us an email!
