Install Proper Lighting for the Crosswalk on Westerland Road
Sign Now
St. John’s Newfoundland is a growing city and we see this in the amount of traffic that is accumulating. Memorial University is one of the busiest sections of the city with approximately 20,000 people involved daily. A traffic calming study needs to be done in that area by the St. John’s city council to ensure the safety of its people.
A 23 year old Memorial University student was hit by a car while crossing the crosswalk on Westerland Road on December the 8th, 2011, which connects Memorial University. The woman was severely injured after hitting the pavement. She suffered from three broken vertebrae and spent 11 days in the hospital. The woman underwent invasive surgery to stabilize the trauma to her back, which had the risk of causing paralysis.
Westerland Road is a dangerous area for pedestrians to cross. Proper lighting for crosswalks needs to be installed in the area to prevent further accidents. Sign the petition to make Westerland Road a safer place to cross.
