My children and I cross the Recreation Drive and Flintwood Crescent intersection almost daily. Despite crossing lawfully on the green pedestrian signal, we’ve experienced multiple dangerous near-misses with vehicles turning left and failing to give way.

This crossing is used every day by families with young children, yet restricted sightlines from corner vegetation and the lack of a dedicated left-turn arrow place pedestrians in direct conflict with turning traffic. After another very close call recently, it’s clear the current layout is unsafe in practice.

We are urgently asking Council to install a left-turn arrow and improve visibility at this intersection before a serious injury occurs.

Please sign this petition to help protect our community’s pedestrians — especially our children.
