Hi Rob here coming to you on location from our latest safety project - installing a crosswalk across Beadle Lake Road and improving our pick-up and drop-off at the middle school. I want to talk to you about why this project is being completed and where the money for the project came from.
Harper Creek Community Schools has a safety committee that meets monthly and is composed of our school resource officers, the county emergency manager, township public safety officials, school administrators, and school board members. The committee felt strongly that student safety was at risk while crossing Beadle Lake Road during heavy traffic times, especially after school. Not only will a pedestrian crosswalk be installed, but an acceleration and deceleration lane on Beadle Lake Road will be created. There will be right and left turn lanes onto Beadle Lake Road from the school driveway, which will help traffic flow.
Funds for this project are a combination of safety grant money from the State of Michigan and Casino Money from the Firekeepers Casino Local Revenue Sharing Board.
After four years of planning this project is becoming a reality. I am thankful for the foresight and perseverance of the safety committee and board of education, which saw the importance of this project and ensured its completion to keep our students safe and improve convenience for our families. Please join me while we continue to Educate, Empower, and Equip Students for Life. Go Beavers!
