Residents urge safer Circle K crosswalk after reported hit-and-near-miss incidents
Summary
Two residents told the Huachuca City Council that a marked crosswalk by the Circle K has insufficiently visible lights and is dangerous; Mayor Johann Wallace said he has discussed the problem with regional media and expects a meeting with ADOT next week.
Two residents raised safety concerns about the crosswalk near Circle K during the public comment portion of the Jan. 8 council meeting. Lonnie Brock said the crossing lights are not visible to drivers and urged a safer installation; Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk "properly" and called for improvements.
Mayor Johann Wallace acknowledged the attention the crosswalk has received and said the town hopes to meet with the Arizona Department of Transportation next week to discuss possible remedies. "Cars do not see the lights and stop," Ackerson said, summarizing the problem she described. The council did not take formal action on the spot but discussed next steps and planned outreach to ADOT for technical guidance.
