The Editor,
I often drive along the Mary Hill Bypass and I have huge concerns for the pedestrians. I am speaking specifically about the area by the new A&W and the Tim Hortons/Wendy’s at Kingsway.
Every time I see people walking along the bypass to bus stops, I cringe. Trucks and cars roar by them. When it’s raining, they get drenched.
But that’s not the worst. I’ve seen people come close to being hit as there is no protection for people who are walking to or waiting at the bus stops.
Does there have to be a tragedy before something is done to protect these pedestrians? There has to be a better way — perhaps there should be a walkway protected by a cement barrier.
I hope the province can work on a protective barrier before someone gets hit — or worse, killed.
