Not everyone thinks spending $30,000 for a “high visibility” crosswalk on Woodward Avenue at Buena Vista Drive is a wise move.Three people went on the record against the crosswalk at last week’s Manteca City Council meeting. Each noted traffic studies conducted by a consultant based on state standards made it clear the crosswalk wasn’t justified.Richard Hanson questioned why the council bothered to spend the $7,000 on a consultant if they weren’t going to follow the conclusions he reached by applying state standards needed to warrant a crosswalk. Those standards — once they are met — reduce a jurisdiction’s liability in the event a mishap happens because of the crosswalk.Increasing the city’s exposure by moving forward with “an unwarranted” crosswalk was also a concern of Leonard Smith.The council, which gave its tentative blessing to a crosswalk some 30 months ago when pressed by a group of nearby residents who signed a petition, voted 4-1 to finally put the crosswalk in place.
