Huachuca City residents press council for safer crosswalk after child struck; ADOT to replace crossing
Summary
Residents told the council a marked crosswalk by Circle K is hazardous after a child was struck; Mayor Johann Wallace said ADOT will remove the existing crossing and install a hawk overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90.
Residents urged the Huachuca City Town Council on Jan. 22 to make a marked crosswalk safer after an account that a child was struck while crossing. Lonnie Brock spoke about the crosswalk by the Circle K and said the lights are not visible; Tami Ackerson said her daughter was hit while using the crosswalk properly and asked the town to install a safer crossing.
Council members and the mayor later reported a meeting with the Arizona Department of Transportation. Mayor Johann Wallace said ADOT will remove the existing crosswalk and install a new crossing with a hawk overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90. The council did not take a separate formal vote at the meeting on that work; the report was presented as a current-events update.
