Brett Hansen
(4495 South Arcadia Lane): Reported that a child was recently struck by a vehicle at the 4500 S and Holladay Blvd intersection while walking to school. Raised concerns about the lack of a protected left-turn signal and a frequently non-functioning streetlight. Urged the Council to address safety at this intersection, noting dozens of children cross daily to reach Olympus Junior High School and the skate park. Mayor Dahle confirmed the email was received and the matter would be referred to staff immediately.
