School administration gives thumbs up to plans for bump-out street intersection

At Monday evening's Decorah School Board meeting, Superintendent Mark Lane reviewed city plans to install two bump-outs at the intersection of Broadway and Winnebago. During the school season, the intersection receives heavy foot traffic. The intention of the bump-outs is to slow drivers as they approach the intersection. Lane said it would provide an increased visual recognition of the intersection, as well as reduce the length of the intersection walk for students from 65 feet to 31 feet.
