The city says that the intersection at McKercher Drive and Edinburgh Place has a new Active Pedestrian Corridor device thanks to funding from the provincial Traffic Safety Fund.
Jay Magus, Director of Transportation says, “Due to high traffic volumes and width of the street, crossing McKercher Drive can be quite challenging for pedestrians.” He says, “The installation of an Active Pedestrian Corridor device will provide a safer environment for both pedestrians and motorists.”
The City received nearly $18,000 in grant funding to install two overhead, pole-mounted, flashing crosswalk signs, which are activated by a push-button mounted on each side of the intersection.
