Residents tell Huachuca City council crosswalk by Circle K is dangerous
Summary
Two residents urged the council to improve a crosswalk near Circle K after saying its warning lights are not visible; one speaker said her daughter was hit while using the crossing properly.
During the public comment portion of the Jan. 8, 2026 meeting, residents raised safety concerns about a pedestrian crossing near the Circle K convenience store.
Lonnie Brock told the council the crosswalk’s lights are not clearly visible to drivers and urged the town to install a safer configuration. Tami Ackerson said her daughter was struck while using the crosswalk properly and said drivers do not see and stop for the lights. Their comments prompted discussion among councilmembers; Mayor Wallace later said the crosswalk issue was receiving attention and that the town planned a meeting with the Arizona Department of Transportation to discuss the concern.
Council did not take immediate formal action beyond noting the complaint and scheduling follow-up discussions; the minutes record Mayor Wallace saying he had spoken with local television outlets and hoped to meet with ADOT in the coming week. No specific engineering solution, funding source, or timeline was recorded in the minutes.
