The Stratford Youth Council is celebrating a successful bid to have flashing lights installed at a crosswalk on Bunbury Road, near a youth and seniors’ centre.
“The crosswalk has been really dangerous,” said Grade 12 student Daniel MacLeod, a member of the council. “I’ve been walking to [the] youth centre since elementary school and it’s always kind of been a hazard getting across there. Cars will speed right by.”
After a year of lobbying, flashing lights telling cars to stop when the walk signal is activated are now operating near Robert Cotton Park.
