Lakemont and SE 58th Street Crosswalk Improvements

To address concerns about safe walking and rolling, the city is adding flashing crosswalk beacons on each side of Lakemont Boulevard at SE 58th Street near the Lewis Creek Visitor Center. These changes will help people cross the street more safely, especially when cars are nearby.
