    Town News

    According to Steve Barrett of the Brattleboro Department of Public Works, "this crosswalk was installed yesterday on Green Street. A grant awarded to the Windham County Safe Kids Coalition funded the project. Green Street School Teacher Alice Charkes has been the force behind this and other safety improvements in town. We enjoy working with her and other members of " Safe School.""

    But how is this safer than a normal crosswalk?

    Everyone will slow to admire the design. : )

    It certainly will be visible, which should help with safety a bit.

    I haven't been over it yet, but is it a speed bump of some sort? That
    would slow vehicles.

    I saw a bunch of these in Springfield Mass. They had red and white ones. They look very nice though their kind of a cop out from real brick.

    Though, in this case the green faux bricks are necessary to bring attention to the cross walk. I'd hate to see a city try and use the technique to actually try and replicate brick.

    Right now, my view is that Brattleboro is
    improving by leaps and bounds
    getting better slowly
    staying about the same as always
    slowly going downhill
