Pedestrian crossing and median break at La Sierra and Alhambra
Summary
The commission added a high-visibility crosswalk condition and a median break at the project entry, but a full traffic signal wasn't legally warranted — the intersection goes on the city's signal priority list instead. Residents warned about middle schoolers crossing busy La Sierra.

Impact analysis
Crosswalk striping, a solar speed-feedback sign, and a median break will be installed as project conditions, with any future signal funded through the city's priority process.
Students, parents and drivers turning into the new subdivision benefit from safer crossings and turning movements.
Drivers will still face U-turns at Alhambra until a signal is ever warranted and funded.
