FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New H.A.W.K. Crosswalk Enhances Pedestrian Safety at 500 North Main in Richfield
Richfield, UT — [Insert Date] — A new pedestrian crosswalk equipped with a H.A.W.K. (High-Intensity Activated crossWalK) signal system is now operational at 500 North Main in Richfield, improving safety for pedestrians, including school-aged children, who regularly cross the roadway.
The H.A.W.K. system is designed to safely stop vehicle traffic when pedestrians activate the crosswalk. Unlike a traditional traffic signal, the H.A.W.K. signal only operates when someone is crossing, helping maintain traffic flow while prioritizing pedestrian safety.
Motorists are reminded to follow the H.A.W.K. signal indications carefully:
Flashing Yellow: Slow down and be alert; the signal has been activated.
Solid Yellow: Prepare to stop.
Solid Red: Stop completely.
Flashing Red: Come to a full stop, then proceed only when the crosswalk and intersection are clear.
City officials encourage drivers to remain attentive, especially during school travel times, and to familiarize themselves with the H.A.W.K. signal operation to ensure the safety of everyone using the roadway.
“This new crosswalk is an important step in protecting pedestrians and students who cross North Main Street every day,” Chief Lloyd said. “Following the signal instructions will help prevent accidents and keep our community safe.”

Nielson Family Park officially completed
Ribbon cutting for Richfield’s newest park hosted Tuesday morning
Richfield, Utah — October 7, 2025 — Several years of development culminated Tuesday morning as Richfield City officials gathered with members of the Nielson family to officially celebrate the completion of Richfield’s newest park.
Prior to ribbon cutting ceremony, the park had already become popular spot for people to gather, especially those looking for open pickleball courts or an all-abilities playground.
“We are very thankful to the Nielson family for making this happen,” Richfield Mayor Bryan Burrows said. “The Nielsons were kind enough to donate this to the City.”
The park was built on block that was owned by the Nielson family for 117 years.
“We’re just beyond thrilled that the city would take and do this and provide this for the young people in this neighborhood,” said Doug Nielson, representing the Nielson family. “Dad told me a couple of times, ‘you know that property would make a great park for the kids in that neighborhood.’” Doug’s father grew up just a few blocks from where the new park is located.
Mayor Burrows also thanked the Fullmer’s Dairy for volunteering to level the park, the Utah National Guard 222nd for assembling the benches, Richfield High School’s students and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for laying the sod, Jones & DeMille Engineering for donation of benches, Rocky Mountain Power for trees as well as the City’s public works, parks and recreation and staff for helping. He also thanked Michele Jolley and Ron Clegg for their efforts in executing the project.
The Nielson Family Park is Richfield’s fifth public park. Richfield’s first park was built in 1927 on the corner of 300 North and Main Street. Now known as the City Park, it hosts many community events including Independence Day celebrations, Rocktober and the Rocky Mountain ATV Jamboree. The Richfield Lions Park was built in 1958, the Rotary Park in 1982 and the Centennial Park in 2004.
