Thank you to everyone who supported this petition. The petition helped achieve a full set of traffic lights at the intersection to help ensure the safety of pedestrians. Thank you to the Municipality employees, councillors and contractors who facilitated the installation of a full set of traffic lights.
There have been several near-miss situations with respect to pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Heavy traffic patterns throughout various times of the day result in long wait periods for drivers travelling east/west or turning left to travel north/south.
Current crosswalk light system is insufficient for the following reasons:
1. Safety of pedestrians and school crossing guards during peak school traffic periods.
2. Safety of pedestrians during non-peak school traffic periods.
3. Vehicular traffic has increased significantly, rendering present crosswalk light insufficient.
4. Vehicular traffic uses intersection as 4-lane, instead of 2-lane. Many drivers go around a vehicle turning left without taking the crosswalks into consideration.
5. Development continuing in the area which will increase vehicular traffic.
We, the undersigned, call on the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo to immediately install a full set of traffic lights at the intersection of Millenium Drive and Parsons Creek Drive/Dominion Drive.
