Sarge,
nd
Understanding our staffing issues and such, would it be feasible to plan a crosswalk enforcement detail along 2 Ave
East (and perhaps the downtown area) for late summer early fall? Perhaps we could ask ISP and the SO to join in and do
few days of high visibility enforcement / patrols?
Please see me email correspondence with a downtown business owner below.
Thanks,

Thanks for getting back to me.
If there is anything the downtown business community can do to help just reach out to us.
Daniel.

Mr. Dane,
As someone who crosses that street multiple times a day at Idaho, I concur that this is a hazard. We
have discussed increasing our traffic patrols for this very violation. However, staffing and priority calls
have not allowed us to accomplish this as I had hoped. It is a work in progress.
I will say that I, myself, have had a few close calls so I understand your concern.
Stay safe,

Hello Chief,
nd
I own a retail store on the corner of Hansen and 2 ave. East (Idaho Troutfitters) during the day I see
countless people
nd
Crossing 2 Ave at the crosswalk and drivers for the most part will not stop! During the summer there
are many adults and children
Coming from city park to the splash pad on main, There have been more than a few close calls this
summer already. Its crazy just how fast
Autos are going past my store, Its only a matter time before someone gets hit by a car. Is there any way
That traffic patrol could monitor the crosswalk a little more frequently?
Thanks for your time,
Daniel Dane
