Residents demand urgent safety measures for dangerous crosswalk
During a recent government meeting in Wildwood, significant concerns were raised regarding infrastructure and public safety. One speaker highlighted ongoing issues with the N 38 project, emphasizing the need for financial commitments to ensure the completion of Main Street through the town center. The speaker cautioned against the city negotiating with builders to secure funds, warning that it could lead to complications regarding escrow agreements.

Another resident, Michelle Eisenhart, addressed the assembly to advocate for enhanced safety measures in her neighborhood, particularly at a crosswalk in Ward 5. Eisenhart pointed out the persistent danger posed by traffic in the area, especially given the high number of children living nearby. She noted that despite multiple requests for a flashing safety sign at the crosswalk, no action had been taken. Eisenhart referenced a similar installation at Babler Park, which was prompted by a tragic incident involving a young girl, and argued that her neighborhood deserves comparable safety measures.

The discussions underscored a growing frustration among residents regarding the pace of infrastructure improvements and the need for urgent action to enhance public safety in Wildwood.
