A member of the SAFE Summerside Alliance, a local non-profit, has raised concerns about accessibility and pedestrian safety on Water Street. During a community event, she observed that ongoing construction has made the street difficult to navigate for people using mobility aids due to the lack of proper ramps and detours around closed sidewalks. To improve safety, she is advocating for more curb ramps, clearer detour signage and better accessibility planning during construction. She shared her concerns with Summerside City Council and launched a Facebook awareness campaign to engage the public and encourage action.
