City to implement A
pedestrian flag
pilot program
JOURNAL STAFF
If you are a pedestrian, you may find some bright
orange flags at a crosswalk over the next few weeks.
The City of Lake Stevens is planning to test the use
of crossing flags at three marked crosswalks.
The idea is based on the City of Kirkland's success-
ful PedFlag program which has been in operation for
several years and well received by the public. The
intent is to heighten the awareness of both the motor—
ist and the pedestrian when a pedestrian is trying to
cross a busy street.
The idea is that a pedestrian holds out a flag when
crossing to help the motorist see them. The locations
for the pilot program are at the downtown Post Office
on Main Street, Lundeen Boulevard at Lundeen Park,
and North Davies adjacent to the Hawkins House. The
bright orange plastic flags will be one foot square with
a wood handle. '
After operating for several weeks, the City will seek
input from the public on how well they feel the flags
are working. It is hoped that this will help to enhance
safety for pedestrians.

On Saturday, Iwas able to attend the Guns and Hoses
softball game at the Cavelero Mid High baseball field.
Not only did many of our local firefighters and police
sign—up to play on their day off, those who came to sup-
port their favorite team also donated over 500 items for
local families in need.
Donations poured in for the Lake Stevens Food Bank
as well as the Lake Stevens Family Center—both worthy
causes and both in need of support from the commu—
nity. Police Explorers were on hand to collect, count
and load the donations. Again, they showed up in their
free time.
Iwas also able to attend the first Relay for Life Commit—
tee meeting for the 2012 Lake Stevens Relay. I am amazed
at all of those who are willing to put in countless hours
to help fight cancer and bring Lake Stevens together in
a fun, heart-warming event.
Just imagine the hundreds of hours spent each month
volunteering on behalf of our beloved community. The
service clubs who meet on a regular basis, the churches
whose members donate time serving one another, stu-
dents earning their service hours by helping out where
needed and all of those who donate their time and
talents behind the scenes—it’s is truly awesome what is .
accomplished by these selfless residents.
Our amazing city would not be the same without those
who are willing to serve and make it better! Thank you
to all of you!

thing," Celori said. “I asked Dave (Lingenfelter) and he
thought it was a great idea."

Police put the event together as a way for the two entities
to be able to play together for a good cause.
“Getting together in a non-emergency helps strengthen
relationships," Larsen said. “I can’t wait to do it again next
