Before the school year starts, Irpin will change the layout of the pedestrian crossing on Tsentralna Street, on the stretch beside the railway crossing.
This was reported by Irpin first deputy mayor Oleksandr Pashchynskyi.
At the end of the last school year a tragedy happened here: a child died on the way to school. After that parents began writing to the council with their concerns about this crossing.
"I see the parents' concern about the pedestrian crossing on Tsentralna Street, near the railway crossing. So before the new school year we are changing the layout of the crossing," Oleksandr Pashchynskyi said.
Within a week the crossing will be moved about ten metres, towards Mineralna Street. At the same time a pavement will be laid on both sides of the road, with bollards along its edge.
The bollards are meant not only to make the crossing more convenient but to remove the very option of stepping into the road out of habit, at the place where the crossing used to be.
The stretch is used every day by children walking to lyceums No 1 and No 2. According to the first deputy mayor, the aim is that from 1 September the route to school here is clearer and safer.
As a reminder, road safety on the way to school is taught in a mobile classroom in Bucha.
