I want to commend Chinook Mall for prioritizing pedestrian safety. The City of Calgary could learn a thing or ten from this picture that demonstrates the effectiveness of highly visible signs.
In a city with so much visual pollution, safety for our children and pedestrians should be paramount. We have far too many unmarked, poorly lit crosswalks. I encourage the City of Calgary to initiate a program that establishes human traffic and pedestrian safety as a #1 priority and sets as a target Calgary being ranked #1 in pedestrian safety.
Now, that's a walkable city!
Check out some of the elements of a superior human traffic safety system...
