Karina Andrew reports from the Coupeville Town Council meeting on Apr. 12, 2022.
The town of Coupeville received a $15,000 risk reduction grant from its insurance carrier, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority, to install solar powered, flashing beacons for the crosswalk in front of Coupeville Elementary School.
The town council voted unanimously to accept the grant during its meeting April 12.
They Said It
Coupeville Mayor Molly Hughes told the council that traffic near the elementary school has become an increasing safety hazard as more parents opt to drive their children to school rather than send them on the school buses… she anticipates the beacons will be installed by the beginning of the 2022-23 school year at the latest.
