Sunset crossing update

Last month we were happy to announce that Washington County had agreed to pay half the cost of installing a pedestrian-activated flashing light for the crosswalk on Cornell in front of Sunset High.

This month we’re even happier to let you know that Beaverton School District has come up with money that, along with some private donations, will cover the cost of the lights.

Sunset Principal John Huelskamp says, “I am pleased to share that, through the collective funding efforts of Washington County, Sunset PTO, Sunset Athletic Club, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, LDS Seminary, Sunset High School, and the Beaverton School District, we have secured all the needed funding and the materials have already been ordered for the crosswalk upgrade.

"We are told that it will take up to nine weeks for all of the materials to arrive, and we are optimistic that we will have the flashers in by the beginning of 2019. Washington County has been an active partner and is funding half of the project. A parent letter will be going out to our entire community tomorrow.”
