Residents of local apartment buildings either on or near Pickering Dr. are seeking a crosswalk along the roadway.
Richard Henderson said he was one of the representatives of the apartments along that stretch that are appealing to the Town of Amherstburg to seek a crosswalk near the entrance to the Walmart plaza, closest to the new LCBO store and the RBC bank.
Henderson said traffic has increased in the area and speeding is becoming a factor. He said they would like a similar crosswalk to what is near the high school.
Many of the residents in the apartment and condominium buildings in that stretch are seniors and they find it dangerous to have to cross in that area when going shopping or coming back home to their apartments or condos.
“That’s why we need a crosswalk there,” said Henderson. “It needs to be taken care of.”
At least five representatives from some of the buildings in that vicinity have gone to the town appealing for a crosswalk on Pickering Dr.
The town has put in a sidewalk on the south side of Pickering Dr. between Sandwich St. S. and Dalhousie St. in an effort to improve pedestrian safety in that area.
