Residents urge fixes at dangerous Circle K crosswalk; mayor reports ADOT will install HAWK signal
Summary
Public commenters told the council the crosswalk by Circle K is unsafe and that a resident’s daughter was hit; Mayor Wallace said ADOT plans to remove the current crosswalk and install a HAWK overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90.
At the Jan. 22 meeting, residents urged Huachuca City officials to address a hazardous pedestrian crossing by the Circle K. Lonnie Brock told the council the lights at the crosswalk are not visible to drivers and pose a safety risk. Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk properly and requested the town pursue a safer solution.
In reports later in the meeting, Mayor Johann R. Wallace said he had met with the Arizona Department of Transportation and that ADOT will remove the existing crosswalk and install a new crossing with a HAWK overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90. The minutes record the public comments and the mayor’s report but do not include a timeline from ADOT or technical details about the replacement; those specifics were not provided in the meeting record.
