Residents urge action on dangerous crosswalk; ADOT to replace it with HAWK signal, mayor says
Summary
Public commenters told the council that the crosswalk near Circle K is hazardous and that drivers do not see the pedestrian lights; Mayor Johann Wallace reported ADOT will remove the existing crosswalk and install a HAWK overhead red-light signal at Clark and Highway 90.
Residents told the Town Council that a crosswalk near the Circle K is unsafe because drivers do not see the existing lights. Lonnie Brock and Tami Ackerson spoke during the public-comment period, urging the council to install a safer crossing after Ackerson said her daughter had been struck while using the crosswalk properly.
Council discussion did not include a separate motion on the item, but Mayor Johann Wallace reported during council reports that he met with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), which will remove the current crosswalk and add a new crossing with a HAWK overhead red-light signal at Clark and Highway 90. The minutes do not state a timeline for the work or whether local funding or permits will be required.
