The City of St. Joseph has designated an area along Faraon Street as a temporary school zone to enhance pedestrian safety. This zone will be in effect from Heartland Road to Riverside Road due to safety concerns about students crossing between medical facilities. The increase in foot traffic and vehicle speeds has raised safety issues for pedestrians in the area. The temporary designation will remain until a proposal for a permanent school zone is considered by the Traffic Commission and City Council. Community members can contact city officials for more information or questions about the temporary designation.
