Region of Queens councillors want the RCMP to step up enforcement at a busy intersection in downtown Liverpool.
The intersection at Main and Market streets has been the scene of some close calls between motorists and pedestrians. And in January, a 79-year-old woman was hit in the crosswalk and taken to hospital in Bridgewater. A driver was charged with failing to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk.
The incident reignited concern in the community about that intersection and others in town.
At their Tuesday meeting, councillors discussed installing crosswalk beacons or traffic lights at the intersection. They also talked about adding fluorescent orange flags for pedestrians to use while they cross. They settled on urging local RCMP officers for better patrols in that area.
