III- SCHOOL CROSSING ALTERNATIVES <br /> Although additional controls at the crossings are not warranted at this time, the City of Centerville <br /> and IDS 12 have requested a Joint Powers Agreement with the County of Anoka to install some type <br /> of flashing beacon system at the crossing. <br /> Three basic school crossing alternatives were reviewed for the CSAH 14 (Main Street) crossing at <br /> the Centerville Elementary School. The alternatives are as follows: <br /> 1. Flashing Beacon System <br /> Two types of flashing beacon systems can be utilized for the intersection. <br /> a. Advanced Pedestal Flashers <br /> b. Overhead Flasher at Crossing <br /> In both cases several construction alternatives would exist for providing power to these <br /> flashing beacon systems. The construction alternatives could use a combination of <br /> underground trenching and/or the existing wood poles currently located adjacent to the <br /> roadway. <br /> 2. Signing / Striping Improvements <br /> This improvement would involve upgrading the advanced signing and crossing signing as <br /> well as the other waming/regulatory signs adjacent to the intersection. It also would provide <br /> for improved crosswalk striping. <br /> 3. Crossing Relocation <br /> This alternative evaluated the potential relocation of the school crossing to a safer location <br /> for pedestrians. <br /> School Crossing Study <br /> Anoka County <br /> WSB Project No. 1044.08 Page 3 <br />
