Five New Crosswalks Coming to Waltham

Five new crosswalks have been approved for Waltham.

A new crosswalk will be installed across Elm Street to accommodate students of the Waltham Creative Start school at 169 Elm St., according to the Dec. 19 Traffic Commission meeting minutes.

A school official requested the crosswalk to help students cross Elm and Benefit streets to the McKenna Playground, according to the Traffic Commission minutes. The school recently relocated to the 169 Elm St. location.

Four new crosswalks will also be installed at the four approaches of the intersection of Banbury Avenue and Berkley Street, according to the Traffic Commission minutes. Waltham Public Schools Safety Officer Ann Frassica made the crosswalk request. A stop sign will also be installed for westerly traffic on Berkley Street, according to the minutes.
