Document Description
The City of Long Beach will upgrade existing crosswalks near schools by installing high-visibility thermoplastic continental markings to improve pedestrian visibility and safety. There will be no demolition, trenching, grading, or any substantial modifications. These markings provide strong visual contrast, enhance driver awareness, and encourage yielding behavior at designated crossing locations. The thermoplastic material offers superior durability, reflectivity, and nighttime visibility compared to conventional paint, making it well suited for high-traffic urban environments. This improvement supports safer pedestrian movements and aligns with the City’s broader commitment to multi-modal safety and accessibility. Though some affected intersections are in historic districts, there will be no changes to historic resources.
