Safe Reflections partners with Summit Hill Neighborhood Association to add 
high-visibility reflective material to pedestrian flags
    
ST. PAUL, Minn. (Jan. 22, 2015) – A local company is helping people stay safe in a pedestrian-friendly St. Paul neighborhood, despite the dreary dearth of winter sunshine.

Safe Reflections, a globally recognized leader in enhanced visibility and reflective solutions for the occupational safety, consumer active wear apparel and military training markets, has partnered with St. Paul’s Summit Hill neighborhood to donate high-visibility reflective material for the neighborhood’s 150 pedestrian crosswalk flags. 

The flags are part of a new pilot program from the Summit Hill Association, the Grand Avenue Business Association and individual neighborhood residents to improve pedestrian safety on Grand Avenue, one of the city’s busiest commercial streets. 

Safe Reflections has added its high-visibility reflective trim – a mainstay for industrial uniforms – to each of the pedestrian flags on Grand Avenue. The company and its manufacturing partner, Kaiser Manufacturing of Newport, Minn., are donating labor and materials for the project and will continue to repair, replace and enhance additional flags for the next five years. 

The Summit Hill neighborhood is represented by the Summit Hill Association (District 16 Planning Council), a non-profit community organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life in that neighborhood through a wide range of projects and programs. It is governed by an all-volunteer board of directors.

“We have an active neighborhood with a great deal of foot traffic, and it doesn’t slow down at all when the days get shorter,” said Nicholas Hooper, spokesman for the Summit Hill Association. “The pedestrian flag pilot program has been popular with residents, businesses and visitors alike, and we are thrilled to be adding yet another layer of safety for pedestrians crossing Grand Avenue.”

The Safe Reflections trims used for the crosswalk flags are fluorescent lime/yellow and are made at the company’s production facility in Oakdale, Minn.
