Residents urge safer crosswalk at Circle K after pedestrian struck
Summary
During public comment, residents pressed the Council for improved safety measures at the Circle K crosswalk after reports that pedestrian lights are not visible and a child was hit.
Two residents used the Call to the Public to urge action on pedestrian safety at the crosswalk by the Circle K. Lonnie Brock said the crosswalk lights are not visible to drivers, creating danger for pedestrians; Tami Ackerson said her daughter was hit while using the crosswalk properly and asked the town to install safer measures.
Mayor Wallace later told the meeting that the crosswalk has received media attention and that a meeting with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is expected next week. The remarks were made during the public-comment portion of the Jan. 8 meeting and no formal Council action on the crosswalk was recorded at that time.
