Residents tell council crosswalk is dangerous; Mayor says ADOT will install hawk signal at Clark and 90
Summary
During public comment, residents said a crosswalk near the Circle K is dangerous and that lights are not visible; Mayor Johann Wallace reported ADOT will remove the existing crosswalk and add a hawk overhead red light at Clark and 90.
Residents raised pedestrian-safety concerns about a crosswalk by the Circle K during the Jan. 22 Huachuca City Council meeting. Lonnie Brock told the council the lights at the crosswalk are not visible; Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk properly and urged the town to install a safer crossing.
The minutes record that Mayor Johann Wallace later said he had met with ADOT and that the agency will remove the current crosswalk and install a new one with a hawk overhead red light signal at Clark and 90. Council did not take a formal vote on the crosswalk during the meeting; the action reported in the minutes is a statement of planned ADOT work. The minutes do not specify dates for removal or installation.
