The crosswalk requested at Western and Lamprey does not appear to be warranted

because:

a. Western and Lamprey is a Tee intersecrion and the proposed
crosswalk at the western side of Western Drive would start in the
middle of the block. Drivers going south along Western may not
expect to see pedestrians crossing at this location.

There would not be a sthool patrol to assist school children
utilizing the Proposed crosswalk.
