The Grant County Sheriff’s Office would like to make the citizens aware of a school zone change in the Larson Community.
There is a school zone on Patton Blvd at Randolph Road in front of Endeavor Middle School (formerly Columbia Basin Secondary School). More kids are walking to school along Patton Blvd from the Larson Community. For the safety of the children, the school zone was analyzed and it was determined it needed to be adjusted. The following changes have been made:
*** 20 MPH School Zone signs have been added 300 feet from Patton Blvd on Randolph Rd. Both signs say “When children are present”. When children are seen walking on the sidewalks and in the crosswalks along Patton Blvd, the school zone speed limit will be enforced.
*** The 20 MPH flashing light sign to the south has been moved further to the south on Patton Blvd, 300 feet south of Craig St. When the lights are flashing, the speed limit will be enforced.
The Moses Lake School District, Grant County Public Works, Columbia Basin Traffic Safety Task Force, Safekids Grant County and the Grant County Sheriff’s Office urges all drivers to slow down and watch for kids. Give yourself more time when traveling through the area.
