Residents warn crosswalk by Circle K is unsafe; ADOT to install hawk signal
Summary
Two residents told the council that a marked crosswalk by the Circle K is dangerous after lights are not visible; Mayor Johann Wallace said ADOT will remove the crossing and install a hawk overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90.
Two Huachuca City residents told the council the marked crosswalk by the Circle K is creating a public-safety hazard.
Lonnie Brock raised the general concern and Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk properly. "Cars do not see the lights and stop," Ackerson said during the public-comment period, urging the council to install something safer.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace later reported the town had met with the Arizona Department of Transportation and "They will be removing the crosswalk and adding a new one with a hawk overhead red light signal at Clark and 90." The announcement came during council reports and followed the public comments asking for immediate safety fixes.
The exchange combined resident testimony about a specific crash and a council-level update about an intergovernmental response. Council members did not take a separate vote on a local capital funding allocation during the meeting; ADOT-led work was presented as the next step for that crossing.
