More Crossing Guards for downtown Decatur


Two More Crossing Guards for Decatur

Decatur’s push for more people to walk and bicycle its streets has worked so well that the city is hiring two more crossing guards. The city commission Tuesday approved spending $11,000 out of Decatur’s savings to hire the safety officers at two intersections that have seen a significant increase in bike and foot traffic.

One guard will work on East Trinity Street near the city’s fire station, and the other at Commerce Drive and Sycamore Place.

The new hires bring the total number of crossing guards in the city to 18.
