    There was another marked crosswalk installed on Hanford yesterday afternoon at the intersection with 42nd. Drivers seemed to be a bit more aware of parents and kids walking to school this morning with this new addition.

      Thanks. Someone texted us about that last night, hoping to get a pic today.

Sorry, comment time is over.
