During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding safety issues at a local intersection near a ball field, particularly for children crossing the street. One participant highlighted the lack of adequate lighting, sidewalks, and crosswalks in the area, which has led to dangerous situations for pedestrians, especially schoolchildren. The discussion emphasized the need for potential safety measures, such as the installation of a flashing light to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians.

The conversation also touched on a new criminal ordinance related to controlled substances, introduced by the Pierce County prosecuting attorney's office. Officials acknowledged receipt of the ordinance and indicated that they would be reviewing its implications for the community.

The meeting underscored the importance of addressing both public safety concerns and legal updates, reflecting the ongoing commitment of local government to enhance community welfare. Further investigations into the intersection's safety and the new ordinance are expected to follow.
