11th St Resident

I'm so grateful that this project has been put forward. We live at 11th on the east side of St. Georges. We love our walkable city and the freedom it will soon provide my growing children aged 8, 6 & 3. We walk to and from Ridgeway 99% of our school days. I'm so happy with the newly posted 30 KM zones. However, I would love to see a pedestrian cross walk at 11th crossing St. Andrews. Because of parked cars on the North side of St. Andrews it makes our sidewalk a blindspot and tricky to cross. Every other street crossing St. Andrews from Keith to 13th either has a round a bout or a marked pedestrian cross walk. 11th is the only street missing this safety measure. I was actually just speaking with neighbours and fellow 11th st residents about starting a petition to have this moved forward. I'm confident with this new improvement project that the city will come through and do this to make our neighbourhood safer. I look forward when I can send my kids to school to walk on their own knowing they have a safe place to cross St. Andrews.

Thank you

Ashleigh
