A young changemaker is calling for safety improvements on Bonshaw Avenue where pedestrians often jaywalk rather than use the marked crosswalks to the west and east due to the far distance between them. The young changemaker is proposing adding a crosswalk directly between the plazas along with a flashing pedestrian signal or slow down sign to alert drivers of pedestrians crossing. The changemaker has emailed a local city councillor to advocate for the change.
