A group is testing out a different crosswalk in Oshkosh.
It’s at the corner of 5th Avenue and Knapp Street by Franklin Elementary School. It includes cones to simulate an extended curb and that shortens the length of the crosswalk.
re:Think Coalition Coordinator Emily Dieringer says a lot of kids cross the road there to go to religious education classes at a church. She says there’s a lot of traffic on Knapp Street, so they wanted to increase visibility for people trying to cross there.
Dieringer believes the temporary crosswalk will give them a chance to try it out and hear from the community. She says it will stay up until next week.
Dieringer plans talk with city officials about what they learned.
