Other Council comments: Council Member Waggener -- concerned about the crosswalks on the square, asled, "Can we communicate to make sure this is just a starting point, not the finished product?" Mayor Hardwick said that he would be in communications with the Somerset Kentucky Highway Department about the matter. Waggener said thhe new lines at crosswalks don't appear to make motorists stop. The major problem was the absent of "Stop Bars" to aid oncoming vehicles perception that a stop might be needed if someone were in the crosswalk. There was also a concern about when all need crosswalks might be painted. Council Member Harris said he, too, is concerned about the crosswalks on the square not being adequate for pedestrian safety. Mayor Hardwick said he will be in contact with the state to see what the next steps are for the Public Square and other needed crosswalks.
