During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding local infrastructure were prominently discussed, particularly focusing on Glen Avenue in Maple and the upcoming changes to a footbridge in the area.
A resident expressed frustration over the condition of Glen Avenue, describing it as a \"mess\" and highlighting the frequent accidents occurring there. The individual urged local authorities to address the situation, suggesting that the police should take action to improve safety. Additionally, the resident pointed out another problematic area at Glen Avenue and Northern Parkway, noting that it is often used as a shortcut, which contributes to traffic issues and accidents.
The discussion then shifted to the footbridge, with the resident raising questions about the planned removal and repairs. Concerns were voiced about the lack of clarity regarding what will be taken away and the timeline for completion. The resident also inquired about the accessibility of the ramps leading to the bridge, emphasizing the importance of ensuring they meet ADA compliance standards, despite the bridge itself not being wheelchair accessible.
The absence of an engineer at the meeting to provide detailed explanations left some questions unanswered, prompting a call for more transparency regarding the project. The meeting concluded with a request for further responses from officials to address the community's concerns.
