Residents say crosswalk is dangerous; Huachuca City reports ADOT will install HAWK signal
Summary
Residents told the council that the Circle K crosswalk lights are not visible and that a child was hit; Mayor Wallace said he met with ADOT and that ADOT plans to remove the crosswalk and install a new one with a HAWK overhead red-light signal at Clark and 90.
Two residents raised pedestrian-safety concerns about a crosswalk near the Circle K convenience store, saying the existing lights are not visible to drivers and asking for a safer installation.
Lonnie Brock told the council the lights are not visible and asked for something safer to be installed; Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk properly. In Council reports, Mayor Johann Wallace said he had met with the Arizona Department of Transportation and said ADOT would remove the current crosswalk and add "a new one with a hawk overhead red light signal at Clark and 90." The minutes do not record a formal council motion on this item; the ADOT action is described as the result of a meeting between the mayor and state officials and not as a council directive recorded in the minutes.
